Shopping Trips

I usually make my Publix and CVS runs on Monday.  Yesterday was a pretty good day.  

Here is what I bought at CVS

1 pack of Huggies Swimmers Diapers
$8.99 - $2 CVS register printable - $3 Manufacturers Coupon
2 Dry Idea Deodorant Sticks
$5.00 with card - 2 $2 off 1 printable coupons (from coupons.com)
1 pack of Peanut Butter M&Ms 
(a little treat for a certain someone who used the potty during our 5 minute stop)
$.77  - on sale

Total out of pocket = $4.73 and I earned $2 in ECB (extra care bucks - from the deodorant deal) for my next trip and I still have $3 in ECB that I didn't want to use yet. 

Publix had some awesome deals this week (sales run Wednesday to Tuesday here).  Some of the highlights were 2 boxes of free Ritz crackers after BOGO (buy one get one free) deals and coupons, $1.50 Maxwell House Coffee, $1.50 boxes of Kellogs cereal, $.01 pasta sauce, and $1 Kraft Cheese cubes.  I was able to stack manufacturing coupons and Target coupons and then I had a $5 off $30 purchase Winn Dixie coupon!  Actually the cashier was pretty impressed with my savings as well! I'm thankful for the Lord's provision and hope to get even better at saving money with coupons and BOGO deals at Publix!!!!!!

Rachel, I use to never shop at Publix. But after reading a few of your posts about saving money there, and looking at a few other blogs about it (southersavers.com!), I have become OBSESSED lol.

Isn't it crazy how exciting saving money can be??? I mean....it's like people are letting us print/cut REAL DOLLAR BILLS!!!

I bought some BOGO Ritz crackers, too, AND had a coupon for "a free box of wheat thins w/ purchase of ritz crackers!" THAT was my biggest steal I think...

I haven't gotten into the CVS thing, but need to! Do you have Kroger? They let you download coupons directly to your kroger plus card!
