My 5/04/11 Publix Trip


Yesterday was a crazy busy day for me so I wasn't able to update my blog. However, I did make it to Publix, Kroger, and Walgreens. Here's the breakdown of what happened at Publix:

Purchased 2 Kraft Miracle Whips at 2 for $4.39 minus $1 off 2 from the 4/10 SS = $3.39
Purchase 1 Whole Fruit Sorbet at 2 for $2.99 minus .50 off 1 from the 3/27 RP (doubles to $1) = .50
Purchase 6 Yoplait Smoothie kits at 2 for $3.19 minus (4) $1 off 1 printables = $5.57
Purchase 5 Tidy Cat Litters at 2 for $2.39 minus (4) $1.10 off 1 printables or printable = $1.58
Purchase 1 Sundown B6 Vitamins 150 ct at $3.59 minus $1 off 1 from the 3/20 RP minus $3 off 1 publix coupon from the green flyer (found at the front of the store) = -$0.41 (they paid me to take it home)
Purchase 1 $50 gas card minus $10 off a $50 gas card wyb (when you buy) $25 in groceries (before coupons) = $40

Total out of pocket: $50.63 plus tax
Total Value: $96.39


Note: I I had 2 additional coupons for the Smoothies (so 6 total) and 1 more for the cat litter (so 5 total) for an additional $3.10 off my total. However, my Publix coupon policy states that you can only use 4 like coupons in a shopping trip when you're purchasing Buy One Get One Free deals. They do this so people don't clear the shelves. With that said I've never had a cashier turn away 5 or 6 like coupons in the past (that was until yesterday). I couldn't argue with the cashier since I knew that was the policy. However, I do wish he would have told me prior to ringing up every item and having them all bagged (He went through every coupon prior to ringing me up). If I would have known he was going to turn away 3 of my coupons I wouldn't have purchased those 3, but I would have found 3 other items I could have used coupons on. I was mainly trying to reach the $25 mark to get my $10 free on the gas card. Oh, well! In reality it still worked out well as I spent $50.63 and the gas card alone is $50 so it's like getting everything else for $0.63!
