Thank you, KNOX !!!!!! xoxoxo

Once my Publix giftcards were used up I just had to look back and take in the scope of what the Knox q's had provided. In addition to everything pictured in this collage - my Knox q's also paid for:

2 16 oz Coffemate creamers
1 avacado
1 bag of baby spinach
1 bag of tortilla strips salad toppers
2 Yoplait yogurt 4-packs
1 big gulp of Woodbridge chardonnay
11 Schick razors (travel size 2-packs, overage provider)
1 $50 BP gas card
1 box Hefty lawn bags (reg price $14.50)
4 Marie Callender Pasta Al Dente dinners, and
5 YoPlait greek yogurts.
2 McCormick spice grinders
1 Gallon Publix skim milk
3 Jumbo boxes Kelloggs Rice Krispies cereals
1 All laundry detergent
3 120z packs Buddig lunch meat
2 bags Fast Fixins frozen chicken fingers

Craziness!! I actually bought the Knox q's online, spending about $15-$20, I think. But it was obviously well worth it.

Publis 4/12 $1.20 OOP and FINAL giftcard use

All this for only $1.20 - the LAST $1.20 from my $80 in Publix giftcards that the knox overages provided -we really needed the milk, coffee creamer and yogurts, I will sell the Prevecid, but the REESE cups are just for pigging out, i guess!!! LOL I wish it could be Free Pineapple week every week :-)

April 12 Mt. P Publix 1st try $3 OOP

I was in Mt. P to get my taxes done and decided to try their publix on my way out . . and I had a really good experience. The cashier i had was very friendly, coupon-friendly, and quick. I got some more schick overage and purchased the following for only $3 . . .

1 pineapple
1 gallon skim milk
2 Schick razor packs
1 Woodbridge chardonnay
4 Yoplait 4-packs
4 Prevacid 14ct boxes

They were out of Coffeemate and Pepperidge Farm goldfish, though, unfortunately. Otherwise I would have stocked up on my favorite S'Mores goldfish and fat free hazelnut creamer . . .I will have to get a raincheck today :-)

TARGET April 8 KY overage ;-)

OK this is one of those "waving the twix bar" couponing moments . .
Target, Thursday afternoon, I had 6 Tide to Go, 4 Bandaids, 15 KY's, and set of king size sheets. . . . and coupons for all of them.
The sheets coupon was a 20% off Target q, and the other q's were all overage-providers. The cashier, a nice man named Walter, was obviously very embarrased when he scanned my KYs - and then when he had to begin scanning my coupons and call the manager to do the overrides it was totally making him sweat. So, me being me, I just had to keep talking to try to make the situation less awkward, and then I finally just said what was on everybody's mind - "I'll bet ya'll are thinking I am a really weird lady, coming through your line with all these coupons, these sheets, and ALL THIS KY!!!" and then the manager and cashier just cracked up laughing, thank goodness. I explained to them my couponing and they were completely on board at that point. Very funny!!

April 5, 2010 Publix BP gas card deal is back!!

I was so happy that Publix extended their $10 off BP $50 gas card promotion. I was able to use my overage and a $10/$50 Kmart q to buy the following:

2 16 oz Coffemate creamers
1 avacado
1 bag of baby spinach
1 bag of tortilla strips salad toppers
2 Yoplait yogurt 4-packs
1 big gulp of Woodbridge chardonnay
11 Schick razors (travel size 2-packs) overage provider
1 $50 BP gas card
total i paid $20.92

Isn't that awesome?!
I only have about $5-$7 left on my Publix giftcards at this point. I started out with $80 about a month ago. So, before this $20.92 transaction I had only spent $53 - and over 4 weeks that averages to about $14 spent per week. It's so interesting to me, and amazing that our cost of groceries and household items has gotten so low. Love it!

Happy Easter! $2.82 OOP at Publix 4/2/10

I love love love my Publix. Can you even believe I was able to provide so much for us for so little? I used $65 in coupons this trip. I was so happy they accepted the EarthFare $1 Easter Lily q's. What a score! The only item in this whole transaction that is not something we would ever purchase otherwise (other than to get overage) is the Bob Evan's side of mac and cheese.

Publix April 1st - $4.55 OOP

I had to rush to Publix this day because our yard guy was here to work but he had no lawn bags to take away all the leaves. So I gathered a few coupons to create some overage while buying a box of 64 large Hefty refuse bags. Priced at $14, I only spent $4.55 (including tax!) on the lawn bags and got, in addition, (4) Marie Callender Pasta Al Dente dinners, and (5) YoPlait greek yogurts. Not bad at all!!
