Publix October 28 $3.86

This was a great deal on the 4C cheese . . .0.99/pc after q's. So I stocked up on those. And we were almost out of gallon-size baggies so i got a couple of those, too. The sales this week are so great - I wish my Aveeno coupons would get here so i coule REALLY get to couponing! Anyway, i used $36 in q's to get my OOP down to $3.86 - super cool!

Publix 10/25 $?? $13.96 OOP mistake!!!!!

Oh well, I have to go back with my reciept and get some $. I got to talking with Heather and we were both obviously distracted from the coupons. She made about $16 in mistakes - she didn't ring up $8 in coupons, and she not only missed 2 of my $2 competitor q's but she instead CHARGED me 2 "pharmacy taxable" at $2. So that was $8 i missed out on. Heather! crazy girl! I really like Heather and she is one of my favorite couponing cashiers so i don't want to get her in trouble. I am just going to get back $8 for the competitor q mistake and leave it at that. Plus, i don't think it' s a good idea to draw attention to my overages. The new sales start today (10/27) so i will def go in, shop, and get some $ back, too.
UPDATE: I went back and got $8.52 refunded - CS is so nice - I still should have had a lower OOP for this trip but at least i got half of my money back. \So instead of the original $22.48 OOP i am down to $13.96 OOP, much better.

Publix October 24 $1.67 OOP WOW!!

How did we ever get by before couponing? This trip was to buy the corn meal, oil, and lemons for my catfish dinner, the OJ, syrup, noodles, and Campbells. All the overage was so sweet! i hope my Aveeno coupons hurry up and get here today, they are about to expire!

Publix October 22 $4.09 OOP!!!!

This was an excellent trip - got to use $95 in q's - only spent $4 for all my goods - LOVE coupons!

Publix October 21 $11.54 OOP, woops . . . .AGAIN!!!

There must be a curse on my Aveeno coupons - LOL - because a few days ago I forgot to include one, leaving my OOP $10 higher than it should have been - and then on this trip I made sure I had all my q's to give the cashier but she slipped up and skipped one of my $10 Aveenos!!!!! ahhh!!!! I was so disappointed b/c my OOP would have been $1.54. awesome. But no, Laura missed it and the manager was standing right there so I couldn't be like, You missed giving me my overage on the Aveeno! That may not have flown. So, oh well, just had to suck it up! But what really stinks, too, is not only did i not get the $10, but the coupon is gone now and I can't use it at all. At least the last time I still had the q. I'm telling you, you never know how these scenarios are going to turn out!

HarrisTeeter Oct21 Free stock, free tabasco!!

I was SO glad I had several Wolfgang Puck q's so I could take advantage of the free stock - and so glad, too, for the Tabasco. The Solo cups were 0.50, making my total OOP $1.29 YAY

October 20 Publix $12.15 OOP Rookie Mistake!!!

OK so i did it again!!! I forgot to include one of my high-dollar q's! My OOP would have been $2.15 if I hadn't forgotten to give a $10 Aveeno q. Bummer! And since it is an overage-provider q I can't really go back to CS and be like, Hey can I have my money back for this coupon? Because they will take one look at my reciept and see the $6.99 Aveenos and be like WTF? No. SO I have to just chalk it up to learning and be thankful for all the overage (And AVEENO!!!!!!!) that I have gotten so far . . .
Overall, though, the trip went well. I used $68.40 in q's to get tons of essentials plus 2 big bags of candy for Halloween. I will go back today and get more Platex - I can't believe they are a 0.50 MM!!!!!!!!!

PS thanks, John, for unloading all this and taking the picture. :-)

Publix October 19 $1.15 OOP!!!

I was loving this trip! I used $51 in q's to get my OOP down to $1.15!! unbelievable . .

October 17 - Sunny Sunday Mimosa's for $1!!!

I didn't snap a photo of this trip because I went straight to the beach from Publix - But I did so great! I got us a bag of ice, a candy bar, 3 Aveeno cleansers (to provide overage) and a bottle of champagne for $1.01 OOP! pretty awesome! Mimosa's taste even seeter when they are practically FREE :-)

October 15 Publix $6.24 OOP

I had to make this quick run to use the last of my Sundown q's - today was the final day of the sale - $12 of overage for buying those! I used $85 in q's to get my subtotal down to 0.25 . ..I can't believe how much tax there is on wine . . .$5.98 was my tax. Anyway, we had company so it was good to pick up the extra wine and we needed EVOO, too, so that was good to get it on sale.

Publix October 14 $8.81 OOP

I can't remember my OOP on this trip but I am pretty sure it was under $5 - I will find the reciept and update . . .
UPDATE- My subtotal was around $4 but the tax brought my OOP up to $8.81.
It was still a great deal and I used $80 in coupons. I was going to make a crock pot roast and a banana pudding the next day so when our company got in at different times that everyone oculd just eat whenever and I could spend my time visitin ginstead of cooking.

Publix 10 13 $8.43 OOP Rookie Mistake!!

Ohhh, I can't believe I left out one of my SUndown $3/2 q's! otherwise my total OOP would have been $5.43, much better. Oh well, better luck next time!

Publix 10/11 3.42 OOP

This trip I messed up and did not notice that the wine was on sale for $2 less than usual. So my OOP would have been only $0.42, but because my total got down to $3.42 I was unable to use my $5/25 . . . Oh well, I still did great. It's just crazy how I never know how these couponing trips will turn out!!!
BTW this picture must be HAUNTED because no matter what I do I cannot get it to post upright . ..it is the weirdest thing!!!!!!!!!! Let's see what happens with future photos . . .

Publix 10/9 $5.03 WOW

I used over $82 in q's to get my subtotal down to NEGATIVE 8 CENTS - woo hoo!! I am loving these overage providers that are out right now!!!!!!! And the toughest manager at Publix came over to scrutinize my transaction and particularly looked at my Aveeno coupons - and accepted them! I was so proud to bring home all these goods!!

Publix 10/7 $3.76 OOP amazing!

Happy Halloween! This was a great trip where I was able to use my overage to get some Halloween cards and a ton of other essentials . . . My subtotal was -0.14! I used around $70 in q's . . .

10/06 AWESOME couponing $0.30 oop!!!!!!!!!!!

Can you even belieeeeeeeeeeeeeeve my oop was thirty CENTS?!?! That was a coupon-rush!! I went in to buy the milk and used my overage-providers to buy the litter and wine. I ordered more Aveeno coupons on ebay and will probably even order another set today. This is taking me back to the days of Knox gelatin - I am going to have to start buyin gPublix giftcards and gas cards!!

Publix 10/5 $7.51 OOP

Sundown vitamins and the aveeno gave me my overage on this trip. Pretax I was at $4.90, using $46 in coupons!

10/3 Coupon party - Publix $0.59 OOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't think John could believe his eyes when I brought this back - and told him I only paid $0.59!! He was astounded and I was on a coupon-high!

Harris Teeter 10/1 $1.79 OOP!!!!!!!

Such great coupons out right now!

Publix 10/1 $11.29 OOP

This was just awesome! I got all this for less than it would have been if I just bought my usual bottle of wine -
$60 in coupons!!!!

Publix 9/29 $6.95 OOP

I am loving this free KC bbq deal - great way to get my subtotal up to $25! I used $23 in coupons and got my subtotal down to $5.81.
