I don't usually post about my grocery shopping trips but wanted to show you how much you can save at Publix by using the match-ups I post each week courtesy of Sheri at Swaggrabber. I usually post the match-ups on Thursday or Friday and you can plan your shopping based on this post. I did a short trip on Sunday and bought:
Reynolds Wrap 100% Recycled, $2.99
Used $.50 off printable coupon here
Paid $2.49 and will get $2.99 back from the rebate I did from Earth Day here
Marie Callendar's Pasta Al Dente Frozen Meals, On sale for $3.49 BOGO free
Bought 2
Used 2 of these $1.00 off printable coupons here
Paid $1.49 for 2 frozen dinners ($.75 each)
Simply Smart Milk, $3.59
Found blinkie coupon for $1.00 off (blinkies are those coupon machines found in the store)
Paid $2.59 for milk (the expiration date was June 5!)
StarKist Seasations Frozen Fish Dinners, On sale for $5.99 BOGO free
Bought 2
(Look for blinkies for this product, I couldn't find any but it is being reported that they are out there)
Will submit for money back guarantee on 1 of them here if I don't like them
Paid $5.99 for 2 but will get $5.99 back from money back guarantee if I decide I don't like the product.
Pop-Tarts, On sale for $2.39 BOGO free
Bought 2
Found coupon for $1.00 off on the packages of Pop-Tarts with Fiber
Used 2 of these coupons (I bought the fiber variety)
Paid $.39 for 2 packages of Pop-Tarts
In total I paid $13.15 out of pocket but may get back $8.98 in rebates and money back guarantees!
This is just an example of what using coupons and combining coupons with sales can do to help you each week at the grocery store. If you don't have a Publix near you, you can find match-ups for just about every grocery store out there by checking out The Grocery Gathering at Be Centsable.
