Wednesday June 27, 2012

I did a quick run out to Walgreens and Publix yesterday.....we won't discuss the Publix run, I was out of everything and most of it was non-couponable items!  I did okay at Walgreens I think, as follows:

My Nexus Comb Through Hair Spray was buy one get one at 50% off, I never ever find coupons for this item, but for my hair and this humid weather it works for me, so I buy a couple whenever they are on sale.  They are $12.99 each, but with the sale, I got them for $9.74 each.  The new Dial Nutri Skin lotions, 21 ounces with Walgreens coupon in flyer, were $3.99 each, normally $6.49 each and we also had MFG coupons for $1 off each one.  I got those for $2.99 each, nice big bottles.  Seems to be pretty good stuff so far.  Schick Quattro Titanium disposable razors were buy one at $9.99, get one for 50% off.  And we had MFG coupons for them, I can't remember how much???  Geez.  I have also tried Covergirl Mascara and Maybelline Mascara because they were cheaper and lots of sales and coupons.  However, I've gone back to my old standby favorite Loreal Mascara.  It was on sale for buy one get one for 50% off!  In the June Walgreens book is a coupon for $1 off 1 and we have MFG coups for $1 off one, so I bought 2 for $3.75 each, they are normally $7.99 each.  All told I spent $46.92 for $74.92 in products.  Not too bad considering that if I had bought these things (and I would have) without sales and coupons, well, you know how that goes.

I am hoping to get back on track now that the kids have gone back home to North Carolina.  I have another deal done up for CVS, not sure that I will make it there this week, still bailing out of the overflow of water we've had this week.

Keep dry and God Bless.....Rhonda Goff

Argyle Publix Boycott 6/19/12

Fellow Couponers....once again I am boycotting the Publix on Argyle at Oak Leaf! I've had to walk out of there before leaving a basket full of groceries because they didn't do me right on my coupons. I should have walked out today, but my daughter was with me and would have been embarrassed. They refused a Winn Dixie Coupon in conjunction with a Publix coupon. I have used these together many times at other Publix stores and many times I've used a Publix coupon in conjunction with a Target coupon there as well. I truly WILL NOT be using this store again, and if you are a heavy couponer, I would recommend using the Publix on Brannen Field Road instead. They are much better to deal with.


Sorry I haven't been posting, was out of town and now have company for a couple of weeks.  I'll get back at it.  Nothing today worth posting about at Argyle Publix.

Wednesday 6/6/12

Hi all, I've been looking at the Publix ad that starts tomorrow......geesh, not much there for us.  Couple things I did see, though, were the Freschetta Pizza's are bogo and there are coups in the SS 3/4 and SS 4/22 which would make them $2.27 each...not too bad.  Monterey Raviolli is bogo and there are coups in RP 4/29 which would make them .99 each.  Maybelline crease proof eye shadows are $2.99, there is a Publix coup for $1.50 off in the green advantage flyer and a mfg coup in RP 4/15 for $1 off, making those .49 each.

Looks like WD is running the same sales as last week, as near as I can tell.  The meat sales were pretty darn good.

I checked Walmart.....didn't see much there either.

I am getting company on Thursday, which will force me to buy things to feed them, I love the company coming to stay, but I hate being forced to buy things because of it that aren't on sale.

Let me know if you all find some really great deals that I've missed.

Friday 6/1/12 Shopped at Winn Dixie & Publix

First off, there was an awesome meat sale at WD....I ended up buying quite a bit of meat, which is why my bill is so high...as we know, there are NO coupons for meat!  However, WD had several bogos that I took advantage of in the meat department.   Round Steak was bogo, I ended up buying 4 packages for a total of about 10 pounds of round steak...why so much?  I ground it and mixed it with Sanderson Farms Chicken breast which was also bogo, I bought 2 equaling 4 pounds, ground it to mix with my ground round.  It makes nice lean burgers and also good for anything else you use burger for.  I love lean ground beef.  They also had Sanderson Farms thinly sliced chicken breast bogo, which I bought for Chicken Parmigiana.  I also bought 2 London Broils that were bogo, cut those in half to use for 4 X shish kaboobs.  I bought $115.55 in meat alone (that's what it would have cost me last week without the bogo sale).  Today,  it cost me $57.77!  Not too bad.   Even if I flubbed up the rest of the shop, that was worth it in itself.  I bought the Chef Boyardee that were $1 each, had a coup for $1 off 4, making those .75 each.  Bought cat food, elephant garlic, kraft singles were $2.50 each, when you bought 2 you got a .5 fuel perk, bought 2 cake mixes...smooth talker, Betty Crocker, if you bought 2, you got a .5 fuel perk, all in all, I spent $111.25 for $176.58 in goods!  I also received .55 per gallon off my next fill up!  Not a stellar shop, but I sure loved stocking up my freezer with all that meat!

On to Publix...Not a great week at Publix either, but sometimes you have to just grit your teeth and cowgirl up, bite the proverbial bullet and go for it!  Digiorno grated cheese was bogo again, we love it, no coup but bogo.  Welches Chillers Juice drinks were bogo, had coupons for .55 off 2 (RP 5/6) made those .97 each.  Milk bone dog snacks were bogo at $3.19, had $1.50 off 2 (RP 5/13), making those .84 each.  KC Masterpiece Marinade...there was a Publix coupon in the yellow advantage flyer for FREE Kc Masterpiece Barbque sauce when you buy a marinade.  Also had coupons for $1 off 2, used 4 of those, got 4 marinades and 4 Barbque sauces for .99 each.  I love stuff that's under $1, don't you?  They had Filippo Berio Olive Oil for $3.99, had a coup (printed off coupons.com) for $1 off, made it $2.99 which is pretty darn cheap for olive oil!  Bought 4 Organic Valley 1/2 gallons of milk, had coups for $1.50 off 2, I won't tell you what those cost.  Organic milk is pricey, but it does not spoil nearly as fast as regular milk.  Check the dates on the regular milk and on the organic milk.  I hardly ever throw milk away any more and it is sooooo much better for you!  Here was a good little deal...in the green advantage flyer, there was a Publix coupon for $3 off 2 Aquafresh Extreme Clean toothpaste, there were mfg coups for $1 off each one(RP 5/6), making those .59 each.  I'll  buy toothpaste all day for .59!  Again not a stellar performance, spent $107.67 for $182.63 in groceries.  Not too awful bad.

Anyway, hopefully we'll see some better sales again soon!
