Saturday 5/19/12

I broke my own rule today by shopping on a Saturday!  I just plain ran out of week this week!  I only shopped at Publix this week, I never made it to Winn Dixie.  I only saved about 38% today, not a stellar performance by any means, but I did make some good buys.

Aunt Jemima Frozen Waffles & French Toast were bogo at $2.79, had mfg coups SS 5/6 for $1 off 2, making those .89 per package.  Land O lakes fresh buttery taste spread was bogo at $2.55, coups SS 3/18 for .40 off 1, making those .87 each.  Del Monte canned veggies were bogo at $1.39, I had mfg RP 5/13 coups for $1 off 5, making those .49 per can and Del Monte tomatoes were bogo at $1.59, same coups applied, they were .59 each.  Pedigree Dentasticks were bogo at $3.59, coups RP 4/29 for $1 off 2, those came in at $1.29 each.  Truvia was $3.99, had a Publix coup for $1off 1 yellow flyer and a mfg for .75/1 printable making those 2.24 each.  Ballpark hot dogs were $3 each, coupon for .75 off 2, RP 5/6  made those $2.62 each.  Pepsi 2 liters were buy 2 get 1 free, had coups from Pepsico Moments booklet  from 4/29 for .55 off 1, making shoe .71 each.  Secret deodorant was $2.89 had coups for $1 off 1 P&G 4/29 making those $1.89 each.  Seattles Best Coffee was $5.99, had coups for $1.50 off 1 SS 4/22 making those $4.49 per bag.  Not great but I am running really low on coffee.  My favorite deal of the day was Ace Self Adhering Elastic Bandages were $4.49each, Publix had a coupon in the Green flyer for $5 off 2 of them, then I went on line (Southersavers.com) and printed coupons for $2 off 1..making those FREE.  I used a total of 45 coupons today!  I had to buy milk, bread, eggs, meat, cooking wine, biscuits for a recipe, sugar for a recipe and several other things that I had no coupons for.  I spent $185.38 for $298.02 in groceries.  I probably should have sat this week out, but I just was out of so many staple items.  Unless there is some earth shattering deals next week, I probably won't shop.  I hope you did better than I did, but like I've said before....if I wasn't couponning....The $112.64 that I saved today, would have been in their cash register instead of my bank account!  So in that respect, this was also a win for me!

Hopefully, you all know that SS is Smart Source and RP is Redplum , I'm pretty sure you all know that, but just in case, there you have it.

Have a great rest of the weekend....God Bless and see you next week.....Rhonda Goff
