9-8-12 Publix Shopping Trip

Posted by Ney@ShopahoicSavers.com on September 8, 2012 None comments

We decided in our household that we are going to recommit ourselves to eating healthy (something we have been slacking on lately). The problem being that it is A LOT more expensive and time consuming to eat healthy. So I went to the supermarket resigned that I would be spending more on groceries than I wanted to but knowing it was better for us. However, I was pleasantly surprised that these were my totals-

Totals-
Spent- $31.20
Saved- $83.51

That’s about $110 worth of groceries for $30!

Sometimes when I go to the grocery store I only buy the coupon deals (free or cheap items) but this trip shows an actual grocery shopping trip including all of the things I needed to buy. I’m especially excited that it included the healthy/healthier items including

– Whole Wheat Deli Bread (2 Loaves Free)

– Natural Kraft Sliced Cheese

– Smart Balance Fat Free Milk

– Smart Balance Butter with Olive Oil

– Two Bags of Frozen Fruit

– Think Steaks

– Luna Bars as snacks for work on clearance for .75 cents each

– Three Heads of Romaine Lettuce

– Bananas

I also bought some items that were not as healthy but were free such as the noodles. I also bought the soda and velveeta cheese to stock up for a party I will be having soon.

While I do not have time to list out the deals that I did individually I will direct you to the two sites that helped me to compile them couponaholic.net and southernsavers.com. I also added my own deals to their lists such as this deal for cheap Kraft sliced cheese and two free loaves of bread click HERE (Shopaholic Savers Deals- 2 Free Loaves of Bread and Cheap Kraft Cheese) to see it.

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.

7-10-12 Winn-Dixie Meat Stock Up Trip

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

So this isn’t a typical couponing shopping trip that I would post about but I figured that I would share anyways. Let’s talk about meat. It is easily the most expensive item on my grocery shopping trips and it is usually what I try to buy when I have decent moneymaker deals at Publix. But how can you save on meat not using coupons?

One thing I tried this year was buying an extra ham and turkey at Christmas time and freezing them. This actually was a really nice savings but not a lot of variety and I don’t have an extra freezer besides the small one attached to my fridge so it would be hard for me to buy more than 2 at a time.

To save money on meat I shop sales and recently I have been finding the best deals at my local Winn-Dixie. There are a lot of things that I find to be a lot more expensive at Winn-Dixie but generally not their meat department. They also have extremely good deals on meat that they put on clearance due to it being close to their sell by date. I freeze a lot of what I buy until I use it and we have never had a problem with any of their meat. The Winn-Dixie butcher himself told me he uses their clearance meat.

So on this trip I bought-

– 2 Packs of Sirloin Steaks

– 2 Packs of Chicken Breast Tenderloins

– 1 Pack of Pork Chops

– 1 Pack of Beef for pan frying (not sure what we will use this for yet)

– 1 pack of ground meat

I spent- $24.74 and saved at least $19 off of the regular Winn-Dixie prices and I’m sure it would have been a lot more than that at other stores. This meat should last us for the rest of the month and hopefully I won’t have to buy much if any more.

I actually wanted to pair my $1 off 2 Hormel coupons with their B1G1 sale but they were out of stock so I got a raincheck. We use a lot of canned chicken and this was a really good price at around $1 per can after the sale and coupons.

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
Saved- 52.96
