Publix $5.02 OOP 6/30 awesome

SO i went against the manager's orders and used my renuzit coupons again - i had to, they expired today! anyway, I used $69 in coupons and those, combined with sales, saved me $99, and only cost $5.02 . . .

Publix $2.76 OOP Quick Trip

I bought MORE pantene - yikes - to help get my subtotal to $25 - it was free, as well as the cesar dog treats. i had q's for the pineapples so they were $2/pc, and with my other overage providers and coupons i was able to get the items i needed (chipolte peppers, pineapples, egg beaters) for only $2.76. And the Bertolli stuffed shells are delicious so that was a score.

HT Super Doubles Trip #4 $2.01 OOP$13 all day

$0.84 of my total was tax. The softscrub was on sale for $2.39 - so I got 2 bottles (at 0.39/pc) for $0.78, then the other 2 free with B1G1 q's. . . so there's $1.61 accounted for. Then the Nestle baking cocoa was 0.39 . . .bringing my OOP up to $2.01.I am so glad I figured that the NesQuik q would scan for the Nestle baking cocoa. That stuff is so expensive and I know we were out. So, yay!!! I love it when HT has their coupon events!


Here is a collage of my 4 trips - totaling approx $13 - To put it in perspective - If I would have only bought the toilet paper and red bell pepper (without coupons) it would have cost me $13. Crazy!!

HT Super Doubles Trip #3 $2.37 OOP

I am loving this HT coupon event - I have used all my Reynolds q's for free foil -
I have tons of sponges now which is great because I was compltely out and there are rarely sponge coupons - The Cottenelle went on Evic for $4.99, and I had a $1 q, making it only $3!!! Something in my coupons gave me overage, too, because my total should have at least been $3 for the TP . . .?? And, the Borden cheese should be $0.19 after multiplied q, so I have no idea how the total got so low. I am going back for one final round of SDs today. I will buy 4 more Pure Protein bars, 3 more Terra Chips, another loaf of bread, and get a raincheck for the 2 packs of avacados for $0.97 because i have all those winetag q's for 0.55 of 2 avacados, making them free at HT!!

Publix 6/28 $4 MM!

Smart Balance is a $0.20 MM right now - which is great since milk deals are practically unheard of in coupon world - and the dixie bowls were free (ahh! I forgot to use my peelie for free napkins!! darnit!) And the schick razor cost $1 - but I will be able to submit this reciept for a rebate, making my $6.07 OOP a $4 MM!!I didn't have my $5 Riteaid this trip. So, I really would have been doing great had I gotten that credit. Oh well, there is no perfection to my couponing, only effort when I have time :-)

Publix 6/27 Another learning experience! woops . . .

I was so set in my mind that the Pantenes were MM's that I failed to notice that Publix changed the clearance section (overnight!) from Items Are an Additional 50% Off Lowest Marked Price to Items are Priced as Marked. So I ended up paying $0.75 per Pantene item. So, anyway, I am going to have to return these. But the sad thing is, now my Publix Pantene q's are gone and the Sunday Parade came out with a $2 Pantene q, so if I still had my Publix q's the Pantenes would truly still be a $0.50/pc MM for me . ..
After I return these Pantene's this trip will be $13.60 OOP.

Publix Pantene's a MM get yours today

Hey! I noticed last night that PUblix clearance Pantenes are marked down an additional 50%, making them $1 each. Use the $0.75/1 man peelie with the $0.50/1 Publix q for a $0.25 MM per Pantene :-)))))))
Great filler item to get your subtotal up to $25 AND great use of the Publix SU&SN q's that expire in a few days . . .

HT Super Doubles Trip #2 $2.85 OOP not bad!!

I love coupons! I love MY coupons, I should say - lol - I am so happy to score our groceries so cheaply - and I know John is, too. We are totally stocked on sponges and foil now - and the Nabisco $1/any cracker q scanned no prob for the nilla wafers, making them free this week - YAY - i was going to make banana pudding anyway so that is perfect. So, yeah, I had planned on basically spending .85 on the feta and salad greens, and I knew the hotdogs and buns were going to cost about $1.40, but other than those items the rest should have been free. So when my subtotal was $2 I knew it was correct.

HT SUPER DOUBLES begins!!!!!!!!! $6.31 OOP Trip #1

Freebies this round: foil, paper towels, deoderant (as IF we need any!!!!!!!!!!!!!), goldfish crackers, 8th Coninent soymilk, avacados, Puffs, american cheese, and cat food!! yay! i have plenty more q's for the foil, cat food, sponges, avacados, & cheese. I also have tons of Scotchbrite sponge q's but that was the last pack in the store. bummer! i need sponges. Anyway the coupons I had for the soymilk, bounty, & granola bars were the only ones I had . . .so I won't be able to score anymore freebies of those items. I typically only buy the freebies at the HT coupon events, but i had to pick up some veggies and some sweetened condensed milks, bringing my subtotal up to $5. I couldn't believe I was even paying a dime, let alone SIX WHOLE DOLLARS . . . .do these people realize how much it pains me? LOL, i am so spoiled from coupons :-)

Publix 06/22 $5.08 OOP

Well, I got DENIED the use of the Renuzit coupons this trip - booooh! - But, as it turns out, if I would have had that overage my total would have been under $0, so it would have created a problem anyway. Oh well, next time I will be SURE to get a good cashier and not let one of those biotch asst mgr chicks check me out!!!!

Publix Bluffton, SC $2.60 OOP woo hoo!!!!!

I went to Publix to buy milk, wine, and the sub sandwich (Publix, your subs are THE BEST!!) - While I was there I remembered that we are out of Bengay so luckily the coupons I had made it free - and the rest of the items pictured were money-makers to help take down my total. Teena was my cashier and she was awesome - so fast with the coupons and so nice! I had forgotten my blueberry coupon in the car and she keyed it in for me anyway. Well, that's it - my subtotal was $0.46 and with tax came to $2.60 - not bad! I couldn't have gotten much lower, and I was just estimating with my overage-providers, so to come within $0.46 of $0 was so cool!! I used $41.70 in coupons :-)

Publix 6/18/10 $9.83 OOP unadvertised AL FRESCO Sausage deal!!

This was a fun trip because I got talk to my favorite cashier, Shauna, and she updated me on her new boyfriend. Young love! How sweet :-)
Anyway, FREE BLUEBERRIES, thanks to PUblix and SouthernSavers.com . . .
I bought the dog food, wine, pie crust, condensed milk, yogurt, and litter I came for, and used my coupons/overage-providers to buy the remainder. I was also really happy to see that the Al Fresco chicken sausages went on sale for (unadvertised)$3.99 - finally!!- because I have been carrying my $2 IP for those for goodness knows how long and we love the product. But it usually is about 5 or 6 bucks, so buy it for $2 was great!

HUGE Publix Clearance on toiletries 6/15/10

Incredible! I bought all this for ZERO dollars -
I know everyone that coupons out there has these coupons - go get yours today!
I went to the Publix in Mount P tonight and theirs are even FURTHER reduced - another 50% off the red tag! We're talking possible MM's for sure!
I used $61.47 in coupons to "buy":

4 Herbal Essences hairspray
8 Gillette 2 in 1 Clean Condition shampoo for men
5 Right Guard Total Defense deo/antiperspirant
4 John Freida styling products
2 L'Oreal for Kids
4 Dial For Men body wash
1 Pantene Shampoo

WAGS Listerine and Reach $7.80 MM!!!

So WAGS has a $3/Reach or Listerine store q that can be combined with manufacturer coupons -
and there is also a $10 rebate available WYB Listerine whitening products.
This cost $2.20 OOP and with the rebate will be a $7.80 MM - great, especially since we are down to our last bottle of Listerine :-)

Publix 6/15 $4.30 OOP

$4.08 OOP Publix 6/14/10

I didn't have many overage-providers this time, so to have my total so low was great. I was going to make a cherry cheesecake and some banana pudding so i was getting together a scenario for those items . .

Publix Sunday 6/13 Final Gift Card Use + $14 OOP

Now my gift card is down to zero - no more free groceries. This trip was super fast, just needed some items for Sunday dinner -
I bought just over $50 in groceries, used $33.12 in q's, spent the last $4.95 of my gift card, and spent $14.20 cash. I should have skipped the Pepperidge Farm slider buns and Edward's pies (those cost, collectively, $1.70)and added more overage-providers, but I just needed to speed in and out, and I under-estimated how expensive the veggies would be. But I got to use my FREE Chavrie goat cheese q and that was cool because I had registered for that a long time ago and finally recieved the $5.50 q in the mail recently. I made a Paula Deen chicken recipe that called for goat cheese and it was awesome!

Publix tonight - 6/11 - $20.37 OOP/on John :-)

Thanks, baby, for the groceries! I hope you are proud; i stretched your $18 propane tank budget as far as i could with so little time to configure a scenario. We needed OJ and bread, catfood, the propane (of course!! burgers to grill tonight!!), and I absolutely HAD to have the bananas, strawberries, sunscreen and Starbucks coffee for the morning. So, I think i did very well!! Tomorrow for the market I will have my smoothie, I won't get sunburned, AND i will be awake - LOL. Fire up the grill . . I'm starvin'. Love you!

WAGS is hot again, if you need beans and toothbrushes :-)

I didn't take a photo, but I wanted to post, anyway, that Reach toothbrushes and VanCamps beans are free this week at WAGS. I bought 4 toothbrushes for us, and 6 beans to give to my friend. (Deb! You can thank me later!!!!!!!!! LOLOLOLOL I gotta go, my friend's comin'!) I would have bought more toothbrushes but WAGS was O/S . .
oh well, that just goes to show you - those stockpiles shrink, and JUST when you thought toothbrushes were going to be free forever . . .
Brusha brusha brusha!!

Publix 6/8/2010 $5.01 on gift card $4.94 remaining

This was a speedy trip to whip together a crock pot dinner, buy yogurt since we were out, and get remaining ingredients for a salad. Not bad for $5!! Or for being in a huge hurry!! thank you coupons and thank you, Publix!!

Publix 6/7/10 $10.94 on gift card ($9.95 remaining)

I am so glad that Dial hand soap is free right now! i have stockpiled it and we are good to go for quite a while. These Renuzit q's are great overage-providers, as well as the Schicks still, of course!

Publix 6/5/2010 $3.21 OOP

This was a really easy, quick Publix run to pick up the essentials . . aka cat litter and coffee creamer. yum. lol!! anyway, if i would have only purchased the litter and creamer my total would have been around $15 - but with my coupons I got my essentials plus overage-providers and some soap and bread for $3.21 total OOP (on my Publix gift card still, have $20 remaining). great way to save!

Publix $22.62 OOP 05/31

This trip was a quick one to use up all the Zantac q's since they were going to expire that day. I had a lot of other overage-providers as well, but I over-estimated my overage - LOL - a $22 OOP is a lot more than I am used to spending! But that is OK - I didn't have time to get into the math so I just went for it! I used over $120 in coupons this trip -
And I paid actual cash/did not use my giftcard.

Free Reese cups at HT - 5/31/2010

Yum! Chocolate cravings are satisfied!!

Breyer's Ice Cream Bars at HT are a MM!!

I used my $2.50 OYNO McCormick catalina and (4) $.75/1 Breyers to buy the ice cream bars, and received a $4 OYNO catalina from Breyers! I also got 2 rainchecks for the free HT toothbrush . . will have to get those when they restock.

Publix $5.90 On the gift card

This was a quick trip - I wanted to just get a little wine and use some overage for that, and buy our Iams cat food since it's on sale this week. I didn't take a picture of the items, but here is the list:
