MY PUBLIX TRIP 11/13/12, SAVED 84%

Today at Publix I warned the two people behind me they may want to get into another line. They both elected to stay and watch the show. I was pleased with my haul and got the thumbs up from the people behind me in line! This is what I bought:

2 Pillsbury Pie Crust (just in time for desserts for Thanksgiving and maybe a quiche next week)
2 Simply Potatoes
4 Kraft Cheese
2 Doz. Eggs
1 Pineapple
Half & Half
4 Cream of Chicken Soup
2 Smithfield Bacon
8 StoveTop Stuffing
1 Sambozan Drink from produce dept
1 Conf. Sugar
1 Brown Sugar
6 Nestle Chocolate Chips
1 No Yolks Noodles
4 Knoor Chicken Stock
2 Olive Oil
Garlic
Nail Polish Remover
2 Suave Lotion
4 Sundown Vitamin
2 Natures Made Vitamin

My total before coupons was $94. My total after coupon was $24.43. The lady two behind me asked me what my total was before coupons and I told her. She responded by saying "Good Job!" The guy right behind me asked me if I would go shopping for him!!

PUBLIX 9/4/12, SPENT $65.58, SAVED 70%

I knew I was going to spend some money at Publix today because we emptied our refrigerator before we left and I also wanted to stock up on the Bushs’ Beans and condiments. The peanuts landed in my cart because how can you pass up a large can of cocktail peanuts for $.20? You can’t! I made my husband a Tupperware container of peanuts and raisens…his favorite snack!
My bill before coupons was $132. I was ready to split my order into four different orders to use four $5/$30 WD coupons, but they told me it was not necessary. The Cobblestone Publix now has my business. SR 16 told me I would have to split my order because that is the new Publix policy. Cobblestone told me that is the new policy but they are not going to abide by it. It just makes everyone’s life easier! This is what I bought:
4 Feta Cheese

1 Eggbeaters

1 Cottage Cheese, large container

5 Yogurt

Large Watermelon

Cantelope

Bananas

Honeydew

Corn on Cob

Romaine Lettuce

2 Deli Tea, Gallon

10 Bushs’ Beans

4 Planters Cocktail Peanuts

4 Heinz Ketchup

4 Frenchs’ Mustard

2 Worcestershire Sauce

2 Mt. Olive Dill Pickle

2 Smart Balance LOL Butter

4 Boxes of Ritz Crackers

6 Kraft Salad Dressing

4 Morning Start Veggie Burger

3 pkgs. Chicken Leg Quarters

1 lb. Salmon


My fish and chicken totaled $23 alone. My fruit was $12.25. It was worth every penny since it is free on WW!! Since I was buying the produce anyway, I went ahead and got the Kraft dressing. Using the tearpad I told you about earlier, I was able to get 6 of these for free (actually they paid me $.27 to take them out of the store!
The nuts were also a great buy using the BOGO sale, two $1 MQ’s and two $1 TQ’s, making them $.39 for two cans. I was also able to use four $5/$30 WD coupons saving me $20.
I then stopped at the fruit/vegetable stand on US 1 and got yellow squash, tomatoes, greepeppers, sweet potatoes and peaches and spent another $10. It was an expensive week for me but now I am fully stocked up again on items I was running low on. I still have plenty of milk, lunchmeat, canned veggies, cereal, and everything else I need to get me through.

I felt sorry for the lady behind me in line because my cashier was kind of slow and I had a bunch of coupons. She was a sport and enjoyed watching because she said she never uses coupons!

PUBLIX...I'M IMPRESSED!

WOW! I'm impressed! I went over to the Publix website today to register for the Fitness and Nutrition Sweepstakes. While I was there, I posted on their wall about my experience with their "Sweet-n-Low product.

Well, I guess that means I have to tell you the story!

My husband bought a box of Publix brand "Sweet-n-Low". I could embellish the story and tell you he knew there wasn't a coupon available for the name brand, but I would be fibbing! Normally I don't buy store brands because a name brand is always cheaper with a sale and coupon.

So we taste the sweetener in our tea and can't tell any difference. Forward ahead a few months. We needed more...yes, we drink a lot of tea! I bought the same kind because there was no coupon available and the Publix brand was considerably cheaper.

But this time it was different. One packet went in the tea and then another and yet another. There was no change in the taste. I didn't believe him so I tried it and had the same results. It didn't sweeten it AT ALL!

I posted it on the Publix wall and no lie, there was a response from them in 5 minutes! They were going to pass along the information.

I will keep you posted as to what happens in this "sweet" saga.

Thanks Publix for such a quick response!
