PUblix 9/28 $4.72 OOP WOOHOO!

I am going to get back on my overage-providers because i utilized them this trip and it made me realize how much further i can take our dollars . . .
Anyway, this trip was great - John was SO excited about all the cookies - and I was so glad to get the other essentials for so cheap. The overage-providers were the Glade, Zantac, Schick, Glass Plus, French's, and KC. Oh! and how could i forget the SUndown Naturals? Those gave me $2 overage - will def be getting a LOT more in the next few days!!!!

9/27 Haris Teeter $1.73 OOP

This was a great trip because the snyders pretzels were on sale and i had coupons for them, and a $2 off beef wyb 2 snyders pretzels. the london broil was on sale for B1G1 and the Nature's Own were free with q's.

Publix 9/25 $9.01 OOP

This was a quick trip to get the basics - I used $20 in q's to get my subtotal down to $8 And then I actually went back and bought 2 more packs of chicken for only $1 total OOP! I love those Earthfare chicken coupons . . .

Publix 9/22 $1.69 OOP wooooohooo :-)

This was just awesome - my subtotal was only $1.15! we needed the milk, eggs, protein bars, fiber bars, and lunch meat. the rest I had coupons for and were on sale as well so they helped me get my precoupon subtotal to $25 easily. the schicks gave overage -
I wish i could get all my friends to coupon!!

Drumroll, please. . . HT SUPERDOUBLES . . .$16.66 MM!!!!

I was SO happy with HTSD this time . . there were a few great catalina promos, combined with GM and Special K instant promos . . .I wish I would have had more time to really rack up! I did great for us, though. I had to come out of pocket $1.34 and, after rolling $12 of my catalinas, ended up with $18 OYNO, so that is a profit of $16.66!!! I am SUPER thrilled. I already used $9 of the OYNOs last night at Publix, but that is OK, that is what they are there for!!!!!!!!!

Publix September 21 $0.95 subtotal!!!!!!!!!!

I was SO proud of this quick run - and I couldn't have done it without all the catalinas i had generated from Harris Teeter Super Doubles . . .I used $28 in q's this trip, $9 of which were ONYO catalinas. Wait until you see what I got at HT . . . .

Publix September 20 $5.97 OOP

The Yoplait greek yogurts are free with 2 coupons,and i also had a FREE q for the Ultra Pearls litter - which is $9 so that is a really good way to get my subtotal up. I used $29.62 in q's this trip . . .

Publix September 18 - $7.73 OOP

The Thermacare and Shick gave the overage, and along with my other q's I got my subtotal down to $5.73!!

Publix 9/13 $16 OOP

This was one of those trips that I got my math totally wrong - I should have forgone the bagels, brownie mix, and Stouffers until today's trip because my subtotal got up to $35, and it only needed to reach $25. It would have been $27 (before coupons) had I left those items out (and my OOP would have been closer to $9). Oh well! You win some you lose some. you could have knocked me over with a feather when the cashier said my total was $16.63! I was thinking What?! I am used to paying $5-6, not $15-16!!!! LOL . . . .

HT 9/13 MORE chicken and Texas Toast!

I didn't snap a pic of this trip but i used the Earthfare $1.50 off 1 tray chicken q again to buy 2 packs of chicken breasts (about 2.5 lbs total) and 3 more Texas Toast garlic breads for $1.71 OOP. we are TOTALLY stocked on chicken now. I made an awesome chicken pot pie recipe from Cooking Light last night - it was such a hit.

Publix September 9/12 $4.30 OOP

It's shopping trips like this that make me SO happy to be a couponer :_)
I went to buy the cilantro, spinach, and dog food . . but was able to get all the other items in addition for LESS than it would have cost to only buy the cilantro, spinach, and dog food. I know it's a common theme in my blog - in my shopping - and i probably sound like a broken record - but it is SO cool that we are stretching our grocery money like this!!!!! I can't wait to see what we can get with HT SD this week . ..

HT September 12 $2.15 OOP

Finally, HT had some of the Texas Toast in stock - I bought 4 boxes and got 2 more packs of chicken breasts . . .looks like we will be having a lot of chicken dinners this fall!!!!1

Sept 11 CVS great deal on Wisk!!!! $3 OOP

So we were down to our last laundry detergent - SO glad to find this sweet CVS deal on Wisk - thanks, HCW and SS! And thank you, Kristian for hooking me up with the q - you are awesome. Can you believe I got all this for a total of $3? That detergent alone is regularly $9/pc! People, you GOT to use coupons :-)

September 11 HT and Publix combined run $8.39 OOP!

I was SO proud of this run! I got 2 more packs of chicken at HT (I would have bought 3 but the manager told me ONLY 2 IPs per transaction - whatever - i am not sure that is correct but i just went with it b/c I am going back today) for a total of $2.24. That was awesome b/c it was just over 3lbs of breasts, making the chicken about 0.75/lb. I could have had lower OOP if i would have bought the smaller packs, but they were out. ANYWAY . . then I went to PUblix and got the rest of the items . . the mustard and TGIF gave overage, the cat food was on sale, and i also had a q for my creamer which wasn't on sale. Total OOP there $6.15. So, there is a SAD end to this story, unfortunately . . . when i got home with my scores i went to put the groceries on the counter and i dropped the wine bottle and the whole thing broke all over our kitchen floor - glass and wine EVERYWHERE. It was 6pm, i had been working since 4:30am, and all i wanted was that glass of wine and to revel in my savings. Oh well, 20 minutes of cleaning later i went BACK to publix and bought another big gulp at full price. STINGS to pay $13 for it when I just finished using my coupon skills to buy it AND so much other stuff for only $6. oh well . . .

September 9 HT & Publix $20 budget equals . . .

I utilized $39 in coupons in conjunction with sales on chicken breasts, OJ, corn, red bell peppers, and TGIF apps to buy $20 worth of our essentials. The only things we did not need here were the TGIF apps - everything else we were out of. I only bought the TGIFs at Publix to get overage while simultaneously getting my subtotal to $25. I still have to get soymilk, and more of the chicken while it is on sale - I got those packs for $0.50/pc - def stock up prices!! And I am so excited that HT is going to have SUPER DOUBLES starting Wednesday!!!!!

Publix 9/7 $12.50 OOP

I can't believe it is already 1 week into September! This year is flying by! This trip was good - I used $40 in coupons to get by subtotal down to $10. So that was great! I hope my wine goes on sale soon, though - this $11.99/bottle is too expensive. The Kraft $5/5 q is great, especially combined with the $1.00 off chicken wyb Velveeta Shells and Cheese peelie, combined with the Earthfare $1.50 off chicken IP. Love it! Then I had $1 off wyb Duncan HInes cake mix and frosting, combined with $0.35 off frosting (doubles to $0.70).I did a deal this trip, too, to get my subtotal up that wasn't MM like I hoped it would be. I bought the Banana Boat sunscreen, Schick shavegel, and Schick razors for $18.47, minus $12 in coupons, cost me $6.47. This would have been a good thing to do if I was trying to get my subtotal up but I really already had enough other items and we do not need any of the shaving stuff or sunscreen. So basically I wasted what overage I generated this trip on these items. Maybe I will return them . . .

Publix 9/02/10 $6 OOP

The yogurt was $0.25/piece, the Playtex were free with a catalina, the Milkbones were a $0.15 mm, the protein bars were $0.25, and my wine was $10 with my $2 winetag q.

Publix 8/30 $5.26 OOP

This was an awesome trip because the Listerine and Aquafresh sale they had went great with the Wags coupons, MQ's and Publix q's. I got $3.50 on overage for buying those 3 Listerine!! And the Aquafresh Extreme is my favorite toothpaste and I think i got it for $0.50/tube. We love Morningstar products - they were on sale for $2 and I had $1 manufacturer q's combined with $0.75 commisary q's, making them only $0.25 each! I had $1 peelie for the fig newtons, making them $1 - which was great because i have been craving them lately! The advil liqui gels were FREE - yay!!! They were $9, minus the Publix $5 off WYB2, minus (2)$2 peelie Man q's . . such a score. And a great way to get my subtotal up! Total I used $46 in q's!!!
