Coupon Booklets at Valdosta Publix

I want to tell all the local readers about a booklet of coupons at Publix, well a few booklets that should help you save some cash.

First, when you enter the lobby if you will look towards the doors on the left before you head into the actual store area you will find a display with $20 worth of coupons. These are ALL STORE COUPONS which means you can combine them with a manufacturer coupon for even greater savings. I don't think any of these items are on sale this week BUT they don't expire until 9/30/09. There is also an entry form in the booklet for the Heinz Toss 4 Cash.
UPDATE: There are several of the little red coupon machines on the frozen aisle with manufacturer coupons that match with some of these store coupons=FREE or ALMOST FREE!!

Second, as always there are small coupon booklets on the turn rack at the right side of the lobby where the sales papers are located. These usually have STORE coupons AND manufacturer coupons in them. Again, remember if it is a STORE COUPON it is smart to match it with a manufacturer coupon.

Third, I also picked-up a coupon booklet from DOVE this week. It is located on an end-cap (at the end of an aisle). There is a display of Dove products on the end-cap and in the middle is a booklet with several coupons in it. The display is somewhat across from the Floral department. I think these are all manufacturer coupons but check to see.

One other note, this wasn't a coupon booklet but I did see a coupon pad on the Greeting Card aisle for Buy One Card Get One Free.

Happy Shopping & Saving!!

Bookbags 50% Off at Target

I was in Target earlier and bookbags were marked 50% off. There were some REALLY cute ones. Also, many of the lunch bags/boxes and cups were marked down.

School supplies were 30% off.

Fabulous Find: Toothpaste at Walgreen's

I told a co-worker that my life has officially been reduced to 30-minute increments, referring to my daughter's first year of school and adjusting to the daily routine of: wake-up, shower, get dressed, get child dressed, get child to school at specific time (30 minute increment before work), go to work, get off, (another 30 minute increment before school dismissal), pick child up--get the picture.

SO during one of my 30-minute increments this morning I stopped by Walgreens to pick-up one of those FREE (after coupon) glucose monitors. I don't need it but it was FREE so I'm sure I will find someone who needs it.

Well, you know I spent that 30 minutes wisely. Meaning I made sure to scan the clearance aisles and yes, I found an excellent deal!

Regular Colgate toothpaste was marked down to 50 cents a box and there were at least 15 boxes. YES I counted BUT to my credit they were in stacks of 5!! No, I didn't have a coupon for them and No, I didn't purchase any. However, this happens to be one of the brands my mother uses so you know as soon as I got to work I let her know.

AND she didn't buy them all so if you want some get on over to Walgreen's on Gornto and walk directly to the back aisle and you should find them.

Did I mention that I also made it to Office Max and Wal-Mart during that little increment of time??

Wal-Mart Clearance:Men's Shirts ALL Sizes

I was in Wal-mart on Norman Drive this morning and there were several racks of
men's items on clearance. One rack really caught my eye. It was full of polo-type shirts up to size 3X for $7.00 each.

Clearance Insect Repellent at Target

My cousin, my sister, and I did a quick run through the clearance sections this morning at Target. There was an endcap with clearance OFF and Cutter brand insect repellents. After coupon I paid 93 cents for a can of OFF.

That was excellent, but ya know what would have been even better?

The 2 cans of Cutter Insect Repellent that were maked down to $1.74 each IF I could have used the (2) $2.00 coupons I had. Unfortunately, the Valdosta Target will not take the coupon for the value of the item if the coupon is more. :-(

Oh well, at least I scored a good deal on the OFF! And if you live in the South, you know how those mosquitos can be!!

Blessings,
Tara

CVS Shopping: $30.86 for $2.03

I had an awesome shopping trip today at CVS. I received an email this morning from CVS that had one coupon for $5.00 of $25.00 and a coupon for $1.00 off Nestle Water Multi-Packs, both CVS coupons. I just had this feeling that I could work this out to my advantage since I knew I could combine these two offers with my other coupons and my Extra Bucks....

Neutrogena Mascara
On Sale for $6.99 minus $3.00 manufacturer coupon = $3.99

Colgate Total Whitening: Buy One Get One Free
$2.79 for 2 minus $1.00 manufacturer coupon=$1.79 or 89 cents each

Glade Sense and Spray Starter Kit
$9.99 minus $4.00 store coupon AND $4.00 manufacturer coupon= $1.99 (awesome!!)

Nestle Water
$4.99 minus $1.00 store coupon and 50 cent manufacturer coupon= $3.49

Store Brand Mouthwash
$1.00 minus $1.00 store coupon that printed when I scanned my card today= FREE

When I received this coupon I didn't think I would use it because we have plenty of mouthwash and I didn't think $1.00 would make much of a difference BUT as I was walking around the store we went down an aisle with several $1.00 items and there was a $1.00 mouthwash!! Someone will be able to use it, I'm sure.

M&M's Mega
$1.11 No Coupon for child for being so great while mama found the deals!!

Bonne Bell Lip Gloss
$3.99 Also for child being so great...

$30.86 minus $19.50 coupons minus $10.93 in Extra Bucks left a 43 cent balance plus $1.60 tax balance (not covered with Extra Bucks at my local CVS)=

$2.03

I received $2.00 in Extra Bucks at check-out on the Neutrogena Mascara AND a store coupon for FREE CVS Brand Aspirin, up to a $3.69 value.

GREAT TRIP!!

Fabulous Find: 99 cent Chicken Breast

Harvey's and Winn-Dixie both have 99 cent chicken breast this week.

Harvey's is Claxton Select All Natural Family Packs and Winn-Dixie's is Sanderson Farms split chicken breast, limit 3.

Looks like you will need your store card for each store. AND if you have the Reward card for Harvey's make sure you register your child's school before you shop at the Harvey's website under the Hometown Educational Rewards link. This will allow your child's school to earn FREE equipment and it should only take a minute to do.

Happy Shopping,
Tara

Publix Trip using Gift Cards from Kraft Rebate

I told you last week that I received the (3) $10 Publix gift cards from the Kraft rebate. Well, I used them today and thought I would share my savings with you. This wasn't my weekly grocery shopping. We have been using some of the items in our stockpile this week. However, I wanted to get a few items that were on sale and that I of course had coupons for. I will just list the items that I saved on, the others were produce items like peppers, mushrooms, etc.

First, I took advantage of the Buy Theirs Get Ours Free items on the Graham Crackers and the Cashews.

Post Honey Bunches of Oats Pecan Bunches--BOGO and I can buy just one at my local Publix
$2.00 minus $2.00 coupon=FREE

Betty Crocker Muffin Mix--BOGO
$2.59 for 2 minus .75 coupon=$1.84 for 2 or 92 cents each

Chex Mix 3 for $5.00--bought 1
$1.67 minus .50 coupon=$1.17

Lays Potato Chips--BOGO
$3.99 for 2 minus $1.00 coupon = $2.99 or $1.49/1.50 each

Welch's Grape Jam
2 for $3.00 (on sale and cheaper than Publix brand)
Of course, now there is an internet coupon available...still a good deal

Pepsi 2 Liters
Buy 2 Get 1 FREE = Saved $1.79 (not really a great deal but no good deals on drinks this week)

Dove Shampoo
On Sale for $2.89 minus $1.00 coupon= $1.89

Cottonelle Bath Tissue
$5.99 minus $1.00 coupon=$4.99

Fiber One Toaster Pastry--BOGO--bought one
$1.15 minus .50 coupon= .65 cents

My total AFTER coupons and sale prices was $53.78 (a savings of $25.03)
THEN they took off the (3) $10 Publix gift cards....

TOTAL OUT of POCKET $23.78

AWESOME!!! That is $55.03 that I didn't have to spend. Thank you LORD...and Kraft and Publix for the awesome rebate/promotion.

"Room for Improvement" Tip: I didn't think of using the Rite Aid coupon that is out this week. I have used the Winn-Dixie and Walgreens coupons numerous times since Publix takes competitor coupons but I just didn't think about Rite Aid since I rarely go there. Thank you to some readers at Fiddledeedee for that tip.

My Publix Gift Cards Arrived!!

I received the (3) $10 Publix gift cards today that I requested from the Kraft/Publix gift card promotion--that was fast!! I can't wait to plan how to use them!!

Thanks again Kraft and Publix!!

Compare, Compare, Compare

I just did a post about the great deal on Lysol Wipes at Dollar General and that is a great deal, but you should always compare weekly ads if you are serious about saving cash...and this is an example of why....

While at Dollar General picking up the Lysol Wipes, naturally I browsed the store and the ad to determine if there were any other fabulous finds I didn't want to miss. Well, I ALMOST purchased the Pop Tarts that were $1.50 a box and the Betty Crocker Fruit Snacks that were 2/$4.00 BUT I remembered the Publix ad for this week.....Pop Tarts and Fruit Snacks are BOGO.

That would make the Pop Tarts $1.19 a box and the fruit snacks $1.36 PLUS any coupons that you may have. Yes, I realize that is a 31 cent difference on the Pop Tarts and 64 cents a box difference on the fruit snacks BUT if you buy several or when you add in your coupons the difference does add up to savings. Granted, if I didn't plan to go to Publix and I needed either of these items I would have purchased them before I would have wasted gas just to go to the other side of town but I plan to go to Publix for weekly shopping so I will hold off on those items until I can get to Publix and save my 31 cents and my 64 cents!! LOL!!!

FABULOUS FIND: Lysol Wipes

Dollar General has a GREAT deal on Lysol Wipes until August 9th. You get 2 containers for $2.50, but you need to make sure you select the one that has the 2 containers packaged together. It has (1) container of Lysol Citrus Wipes and (1) container of Lysol Dual Action Wipes. The outside of the package says "Buy One Get One Free."

I also had a coupon for $1.00 off 2 packages of Lysol wipes so I ended up paying $4.00 for both packages or $1.00 for each container!! That is a great deal and if you are like me it is probably a requested item for your child's classroom.

If you are a local reader and go looking for this great deal: I went to the Dollar General on Bemiss next to Harvey's (right as you turn off Ashley onto Bemiss). The special package with the 2 containers was NOT located with the single containers. It was at the end of an aisle on a display.
