1/8/10 Free Clorox Wipes

Posted by shopaholicsavers on January 8, 2011 None comments

When I’m cleaning I love to use Clorox or Lysol wipes but they are usually fairly expensive. Today I got 8 of them for free at Publix. Last week at Publix they were on sale for 2 for $4 and there was a $2 off manufacturer’s coupon and a $2 off Publix coupon. Publix was out of them last week so I got a rain check. I had them write on it to accept the coupons (even though they would be expired by the time the store got more in stock) because it was the store who was out of the clorox wipes so I couldn’t use them before. They usually cost $2.99 each so I saved $23.92.

12/31/2010 Publix Shopping Trip

Posted by shopaholicsavers on December 31, 2010 None comments

Today was a slightly unusual shopping trip to Publix because, while I did need groceries, I was mostly going tonight because I had a stack of $1 off Bakery, Deli, Meat or Produce Publix coupons that were expiring today. I found a stack of these coupons in the flyer/Ads/coupon holder in the entrance of Publix. I used 21 $1 off coupons today and I got a lot of stuff. I love dollar amount off department coupons because it gives you the freedom to pick your own items and I usually choose the cheapest items I can get while still qualifying to use the coupons (these coupons required that the items were at least $1 to start with). As you can see, I got quite a haul today. It is usually not easy to get coupons for fresh produce, deli items, bakery items, or meats so I wanted to make sure I got as much as I could (and could use) today. I gave away the rest of the coupons I couldn’t use. I will freeze some of these groceries but most of them we will eat in the next couple of weeks or give away to someone who can use them.

My total after coupons + tax – $11.15

I used $7.22 I had on a visa gift card

Final Total- $3.93 (Not bad at all considering the gallon of milk alone cost me $3.29)

Saved- $23.40 before gift card and $30.62 after the gift card

This is how I shop all the time. I started this blog to teach other people how to do it. These are items which my family and I will use with the exception of the Folic Acid which I bought because I was paid to buy them (I will find a use for them eventually). Most of these deals are still good until the end of Publix’s sale week which ends (in Florida) Wednesday night at 10pm. Happy Shopping 🙂
