Some Deals, Freebies, and Coupons =)

I know I have been majorily slacking about posting deals, but the last couple of weeks have been crazy.  I expect the next couple of weeks to be more normal, but you never know right?!?  My husband has been interviewing with a department out of state and he is still in the running so hopefully he will be offered a new and exciting opportunity.  We are excited, nervous, and anxious all in one.  I know it should not be an excuse for me slacking, but my husband is such a big help with the kids that when I had to do everything including work and shopping it just wiped me out.  You single parents are AMAZING for everything that you all do!  Anyway, I went to Target this evening to get some printer paper (been out for almost a week!) and some crafts for the kids to do tonight.  I decided to check out grocery to see if there were any good deals and there are a few notable deals.

Publix - 46% Savings

This week I spent $88.58 and saved $75.12 for a total savings of 46%.  Not to bad, but definitely not my best.  I needed lots of food for lunches at work and for my daughter to bring to school.  I knew this wasn't going to be a huge savings trip, but the couple behind me were extremely excited and offered to pay me to do their shopping...LOL  Of course I directed them to the blogs I use so they can do this themselves.  It is nice to see so many people get excited over my savings.  I will tell you when I went to Wal-Mart the customers definitely were not thrilled with my coupons, but as we all know Wal-Mart shopping experiences are always much more different than Publix ;-)

46% Savings at Publix

I am a couple of days late, but I have an excuse...it was my BIRTHDAY!!!  So the family and I went on a mini-vacation and we had a great time.  I ended up changing my order almost completely, but I still did pretty well and am happy with my overall savings.  Sorry about the picture, but my table is FULL of items to donate.  I will be bringing those to a drop off site soon to help the victims in Alabama and surrounding regions.  Also, not pictured is the steak, 6 10lb bags of cat litter, 12.5 lb bag of charcoal, and milk.

I spent $85.09 and saved $75.43 for a 46% savings this week!

Coupon Policy

I am pretty excited that my Publix still accepts Target as a competitor and am also happy to see that Bravo is a competitor.  Honestly, I have always thrown the Bravo ads away, but now I am going to pay extra attention to them when they come in the Tuesday mailer.  Hopefully I can find some good coupons in there.  Below is a picture of the front and back handout they were distributing at my store.  I seemed to have spilled something on mine already, but I am going to stick it in my coupon binder so I have it handy.

Walmart Shopping Trip 5/13/11

I think I scored some pretty great deals at Walmart tonight to donate to the victims of the tornado in Tuscaloosa (including 5 packs of diapers, 12 free packages of band aids, 5 packages of Tylenol Precise for only 97 cents each, free dental floss, and much more!).  It is hard to tell the total savings I had since they do not track it for me like Publix ;)  I can't remember what the rollback price differences were and I forgot my pen to track them (left it in the center console of the car).  For all the items I spent $86.81 and saved $95.82 from just coupons.  I am sure there are even greater savings from all the rollbacks, but even without figuring them in I have a savings of 53% which is great considering all the items I bought!  Here is a rundown of all the items I purchased.

Publix adopts new coupon policy - NBC-2.com WBBH News for Fort Myers, Cape Coral & Naples, Florida

Here is the link to the new Publix Coupon Policy that will go into effect May 23rd. I don't see too many changes and am still unsure what our area will consider as competitors. Many areas are no longer considering Target a competitor which I really hope ours will continue to consider them a competitor since we do have so many Super Targets in the area. Basically, it looks like Publix will only consider "true" grocery stores as a competitor so no more CVS, Walgreens, Family Dollar, etc. Also, this article states only one manufacturer coupon can be used on BOGO's. I did not interpret the policy this way at all. The policy states "each item is a separate sale" which means the free item would still be considered separate as it is under the current policy not that the free item and full priced item are grouped together as one. It was also stated that if the coupon is worth more than the item that would get money back so I think NBC2 interpreted this incorrectly. Everything I have seen on other blogs seem to agree with me that each item even the free on is considered a seperate item. Make sure you print up the policy and are aware of what the policy states so if you do have an issue you can address it properly with the manager. I do not expect there to be any issues since Publix is making sure all their employees are aware of the change and are properly educated. Really, nothing has changed for us here in our area so I do not understand why people are upset. Make sure you check with your store to find out who is considered a competitor and let me know what you all find out.

Publix List

By viewing the Publix Ad you are able to click the items you want to purchase and they add them to your shopping list.  I am loving this new feature since it gives you a spot to make notes and tells you the deal along with the location of the product in your store.  They also give you the ability to add any additional items you want to purchase and they provide tools to help properly assign the location of the item.  I am hoping this will help me become more organized and  to cut down the time I spend searching for items in the store.  The above list is the items I plan on purchasing for my trip tomorrow so be on the lookout for my final total tomorrow!
