Woot woot woot...for the first time ever, Publix paid me to shop!  Here's the blow by blow, I shopped 2 different Publix stores.

#1 Publix on Brannen Field.  Bought 6 Hamburger Helpers bogo,  no coupons, 4 for the Food Pantry at .97 each, bought 6 Chef Boyardee pastas bogo no coupons for .75 each.  Ball Park HB buns, 2/$4, Sara Lee Butter Bread 2/$4, John Frieda Root Awakening shampoo & conditioners, 2 of each, used Publix coupon in the Green flyer for $2/1 and a mfg coupon for $2/1, making those $1.49 each (normal price is $5.79 each), Publix onion soup mix $1.15 no coup, Palmolive Dish soap was bogo, had coups for .25 off each one, making those $1.49 each, the real big aroma ones, 5 Bayer low dose aspirins were $2.63 each, we had coupons for $3 off 1,  I think they were in the SS 6/24, I made .37 each on those, total of $1.85 in the plus column towards my other groceries.  Smart Balance Spray butter was bogo at $1.79 each, no coup.  Huge bag of Publix Pinto Beans were $5.69 no coup, I bought 7 Cover Girl eye shadows that were $2.99 each, had Publix coupon from the green flyer for $1/1 and a mfg coupon for $3/2, making those .49 each....great for my Christmas gift bags!  bought bananas, bought 2 of the Organic Valley 1/2 gal of milk, they were on sale 2/$7, had a coupon for $1.50/2, making those $2.75 each, they are usually much higher than that.  All in all, I spent $48.55 for $125.89 in goods...saving a whopping $77.34.  I also used one of my $5/$30 WD coupons.

#2 Publix at Normandy Crossing.  I mainly stopped in here to burn off the rest of my  Bayer Aspirin coupons and my Cover Girl Coupons.  I bought 10 Bayer Aspirins at $2.63 each, had mfg coupons for $3/1 so I made .37 each times 10 or $3.70 in my plus column!  I bought 1 Cover Girl Eye Shadow at $2.99, with the Publix coupon from the green flyer, and my mfg coupon, that came to .49.  I bought 1 CG beauty tool for $2.99, after coupons it was .49, bought 2 CG aloe emery board sets for $2.19 each, after the Publix coup for $1/1 and the mfg coupon for $3/2, those were free and I made .62 on the 2.  I bought 4 CG Salon Shaper nail kits for $2.19 each, I made .62 on each of those.  Bought Orville Redenbacher Pop corn that was bogo for $5.19 and 2 Milky Way candy bars $1.59 each, had a coupon for $1 off 2, or $1.09 each, had over $50 in goods, so I used one of my $5/$55 WD coupons.  When all was said and done, PUBLIX OWED ME .64!  HA HA.  I finally did it!  When the cashier finished with me, she called the manager over....she said I don't know what to do, it says we owe her .64?  The manager said pay the lady her .64!  And they did.

I love having a day when you find everything you go after and make money to boot!  What could be better.  All told I ended up with $187.08 in goods for $48.55!  Not a bad day....let's see, I think that comes out to 74% Savings!  My best EVER!  I am totally stoked over this, get out there and get some of these deals.  My husband and I both, on the advice of our doctors, take 1 low dose  aspirin per day, that's 60 aspirins per month, which can get a little pricey.  Now, I've got enough for 3 months at least for FREE!  You gotta love that.

Have a great weekend and God Bless!  Rhonda Goff
