My Super SWEET Publix Trip!
Well, today I had such an amazing trip to Publix that I wanted to go ahead and share all the details and pictures with you! I spent $19.79 and saved $107.76! This time I thought that it would be helpful to you newbies out there if I posted the coupons/breakdown that I used on my shopping trip. Here it is! ;-)
2 Mahatma Jasmine Rice -$2.99 each (2 FREE coupons from BzzAgent)
2 Nabisco Honey Maid Graham crackers -$3.99 each (these were BOGO and I had 2-$1.00 printable coupons from www.cookingwithkraft.com
3 DelMonte Fruit Chillers- $2.53 each (these were B2G1 and I had 2 $1.00 printable coupons from www.redplum.com )
2 Perdue Chicken Nugget Boxes- $4.39 each (these were BOGO and I had 2 $1.00 coupons found inside packages of Perdue Shortcuts from a previous purchase)
1 box of Kashi Waffles- $2.79 (FREE coupon from Vocalpoint-go here to sign up and become a member! They send out awesome coupons! www.vocalpoint.com)
1 package Oscar Mayer Hot Dogs- $3.99 (FREE coupon from Oscar Mayer Hot dog giveaway earlier in the month)
1 box Jello Sugar Free Pudding packets -$1.50 (FREE coupon sent to me from General Mills)
1 dozen large eggs $1.39 (no coupon, but we needed them!)
2 pints of Starbucks Ice Cream -$3.79 (BOGO and I had 2 $1.50 printable coupons) (this stuff is deadly, beware! (FYI- There are supposed to be coupons coming out in this Sunday’s newspaper inserts for $2.00/1 coupons-that would be .21 overage!)
2 boxes Morningstar Chicken nuggets- $3.79 (BOGO and I had a Target CRT for $2/2-I finally found a Publix that will honor Super Target Grocery coupons, so I was happy!)
2 lb. Publix ground beef -$3.24 (used 2 coupons for -Save $1.25 on ground beef WYB Kraft Deluxe Mac n Cheese. I had 2 boxes of Mac N Cheese, so I was able to use 2 of the Ground Beef coupons! These coupons were found in a Kraft booklet at Publix)
2 bags Jennie O Turkey Sausage patties -$2.99 (BOGO and the bags had .55 peelies on them!)
2 boxes Kelloggs Frosted Mini Wheats- $4.19 (BOGO and I had a BOGO coupon from Vocalpoint- maximum value allowed was $3.10-ALMOST FREE!)
3 packages of Ramen Noodles .20 each (filler items and no coupons-Filler items are inexpensive items that you use when you think you will have more coupons than items. At some stores I find that this is not an issue; however, at Publix you cannot have more coupons than items-I always count how many coupons I have, then how many items are in the cart to make sure!)
8 packages Fisher Snack mix -$1.79 each (BOGO and I had 8 $1.00 coupons from Sunday insert coupons.) (.21 overage per every 2 bags!)
2 packages of Bic Soleil razors- $5.49 each (BOGO and I had 2 $2.00 coupons from Sunday insert coupons.)
2 boxes Kraft Deluxe Mac n Cheese -$1.49 each (used 1-$1.50/2 printable coupon)
2 packages Juicy Juice juice-boxes- $2.99 each (BOGO no coupons, but we needed juice!)
2 boxes Kraft Easy Mac- $3.39 each (BOGO and I had a home mailer coupon for a FREE box! Once again, 2 boxes for FREE)
2 ½ lb. bananas .69 lb (no coupon, but we needed them)
4 packages Yoplait Yo Plus Yogurt- $2.50 each (BOGO and I had 4 $1.00 printable coupons from www.coupons.com and www.redplum.com)
I also had a $5/$50 grocery competitor coupon that Publix accepted on top of all my other coupons listed. So, after all BOGO promotions and coupons I paid a whopping $19.79 for all of this and saved $107.76! I hope that my breaking down the details and coupons for you will help you understand how I saved so much! You can do this too-I promise! Contact me with any questions and don’t forget to share with me your sweet savings-I always love to hear from you!

I have some coupons from Bzzzagent for the bic soleil razors. It is one of the campaigns I am in now.
Awesome Cindy! What is the value of the coupons? You may get an even better deal that I did! "-)
Hi Heather - this is Steve (keith's PCC bud) :). I was going to pass this site along to my wifey - it's very informative! I had one question - what does BOGO mean/stand for?? thanks!
nm - I think I was thinking too hard maybe. My guess is Buy One Get One, right??
Steve,
Hey! I would love for you to pass on the info to your wife....have her check back into my archive section from April....their is info on that section on how to get started into couponing! I will be happy to help her with any questions that she has!
I have spent a little time browing coupon blogs, and I have a Publix and Walmart in the area. I keep seeing various entries mentioning what sounds like a family coupon book from Publix but I don't know where to get it because I didn't see it on the sales paper rack at ours. Know anything about this?
Hi Mandy!
If you don't see it in the Turnstyle at Publix, sometimes they have actual coupons displays with the booklets in them throughout the store. Also, I have had wonderful success asking at the Customer Service Desk. Sometimes they keep the booklets there. Hope that helps you out!
