7-17-12 Publix Shopping Trip

Posted by Ney@ShopahoicSavers.com on July 17, 2012 None comments

I was pleased by this shopping trip even though my out of pocket costs were a little higher than I would have liked but I was buying about $16 from the Deli alone for lunches. We are trying not to use prepackaged lunch meats with all of the preservatives and it still works out to be cheaper than buying lunches every day.

Look for these Target Catalina Coupons

Posted by Ney@ShopahoicSavers.com on July 17, 2012 None comments

Be sure to keep your eyes open for this type of Publix catalina (Prints at the register) coupons. This one is for .50¢ off of any brand or size eggs. These are great because you can choose your brand and size and they can also be used at Publix if Target is a competing store. I also received a similar coupon today for several dollars off of a $20 beauty purchase. I will probably end up using them at Publix.

Shopaholic Savers Deals- Surprise Extra Register Reward Printing on Walgreens Zephyrhills Water Sale

Posted by Ney@ShopahoicSavers.com on July 15, 2012 1 comments

So Zephyrhills 24 packs of water are on sale for $3.49 this week at Walgreens with $1 RRs. However, one of the employees at my local Walgreens was kind enough to inform me that they are in fact printing 2 separate $1 RR coupons. The second actually says Energizer batteries but all I bought in this purchase was the water. This made the water only $1.49 for the entire pack after RRs. I know in some areas the water goes by a different name so I can’t say this will work everywhere or for how long but it might be worth a shot especially if you were planning on buying it anyways.

So the deal is-

Buy 1 Bottled Water (Brand Determined by Your Local Ad) 24pk $3.49
Get Back (2) $1 Register Rewards (Instead of the Single $1 stated in the Ad)
Cost after Coupons- $1.49 Each

Getting Free Gift Cards with Prescriptions

Posted by Ney@ShopahoicSavers.com on July 12, 2012 None comments

I apologize for the lack of updates lately. I’ve been feeling under the weather and today I went to the doctor and found out I have strep throat. Not fun. However, being the frugal person that I am I tried to look on the bright side. I had to pay $14 for 2 prescriptions but I was lucky and had two $10 Target gift card with a new or transferred prescription coupons. You can get these in a variety of ways- their weekly ad, catalina coupons, or home mailers. I didn’t know that you can use more than one at the same time. I believe the limit is actually 4. So I actually made a $6 profit in gift cards. I am always on the look out for gift card with prescription coupons. You never know when you will need one, no one plans on getting sick.

Lately, Walgreens has been giving out tons of coupons for free $25 dollar gift cards with transferred prescriptions. But I called and they are ONLY for transferred prescriptions which is why I went to target today. If you have to be sick you might as well get a free gift card (or two)!

7-10-12 Publix Shopping Trip

Posted by Ney@ShopahoicSavers.com on July 12, 2012 None comments

So this shopping trip at Publix I needed to get quite a few things that I didn’t have coupons for so that definitely raised my out of pocket costs. To lower them I used a $5 off of $25 Save A Lot competitor coupon and a slight overage on the Bayer. I was also pleasantly surprised to find a sale and coupon on the energy drinks and get 4 for $5. My boyfriend uses them for work and if he buys them there they are $4 for 1. I won’t bore you with the regularly priced groceries but here are the coupon deals I did in this trip-

4 Bayer Asprins- $2.63 each (I believe regular price)
– Used 4 $3 off coupons
Cost after coupons- -.37 cents moneymaker on each

6 Advil Liquid Gels 40 count – On sale for $4.49
-Used 3 $5 off 2 Advil Publix Coupons from the Green Advantage Buy Flyer
-and Used 6 $1 off Advil coupons from an assortment of places including RP 5/20
Cost after coupons- .99 cents each

Note- If you are lucky enough to find the $2 off each peelie coupons on the product this is a moneymaker deal. Both of my local stores were sold out but .99 cents each was a good enough stock up deal for me

1 Four Pack of Rockstar Energy Drinks- On Sale $5.99
– Used $1 off Publix coupon from the Yellow Advantage Flyer
Cost after coupons- $4.99

– Used $5 off of $25 Save A Lot competitor coupon

Spent- 11.61
