92% Savings at Publix!

It has been just about a year since I started super couponing and I am still just as thrilled when I get good savings as I was the first time. I never get tired of getting things for free or pennies! And don't forget about getting paid to take things home as well!
I am truly amazed at how God has provided this for our family at a time when we really needed it. I can now stock our pantry, freezer and bathroom cupboards for less than half of what I was just a year ago. And back then by the end of the month there was not much left over. Now I could go a month or more with out buying anything and we would still have some left. And I have been able to donate so many things to a local shelter and church food pantry that I never could have done before. Not with out making my family go with out anyway. God truly does provide all things!
So this weeks grocery trip I saved a whopping 92% On everything that I got! The total before sales and coupons was $ 106.91 and what I paid after sales and coupons $19.40! Can you believe it!?
This is what I got...

2- Emerald Peanuts $3.19 BOGO I used a $1.50 off 2 coupon from RP 8-15 .84 each
2- Bags baby carrots $1.99 BOGO I used $1 off Target store coupons for each FREE!
2- Maxwell House Coffee $1.99 I used a $1. off Manufactures coupon for each .99 each
5- Schick razors .99 each I used a $2.00 off 1 coupon from an insert making a total overage of $5.05!
2- Nestles Toll House Cookie dough $2.79 BOGO I used $1.off each from Here .39 each
2- Wishbone salad dressings $2.89 BOGO I used a Target store coupon from Here and a
Manufactures coupon from Here for each .19 each
20- Cans of Green Giant Veggies $1.29 BOGO I use $1/00 off 4 that I found at the store making
them .39 each. I will be donating 10 of these!
4- A1 Steak sauce $4,29 I used a Publix store coupon for $1.25 off 1 and a manufactures coupon
for $1.50 off 1 on each making for a total overage of $2.42!
2- Crunch master crackers $2.99 BOGO I used a $1.00 off 1 from Here on each .50 each

6.5lbs- Gala Apples .99 per lb. $5.99 for all
4.5lbs- Bartlett Pears .99lb $4.46 for all.

Here we go again!

At first I thought that this would be another not so good week. But after looking again, I found several good deals! Very good actually! The total This week before coupons and sales was $127.33. And after coupons and sales I paid $7.72! That is a savings of 94%!
Here is a little bit more of a break down of the savings. The total saved just by shopping for the sales was $55.87. And the total value of the coupons that I used was $63.74.
So if you still think that using coupons is more hassle than it is worth, you may just want to think again!
Here is what I got!

• 2- Bags Doritos chips BOGO $1.99 each
• 2.5- lbs Oranges Sale of $1.49 and I used a Target store coupon for $1.00 produce. (this is not such a great sale price for the oranges but Kait was really craving them so I thought this price along with the Target coupon made for a good deal!)
• 4- Lbs Grapes Sale of .99/lb I used another Target store coupon for $1.00 off produce
• 6- Ore-Ida Steam and Mash Potatoes BOGO I used a manufacture Q and a Publix coupon
  Making them FREE with $2.47 Overage!
• 6- Heinz Homwstyle Gravy $1.59 I used a Manufactures coupon and Publix coupon to make them FREE!
• 4- Quaker Oats BOGO $1.31 each I used a $1.00 off 1 manufactures coupon for last weeks inserts making them $.31 each
• 2- V-8 Fusions juice BOGO $1.99 each. I used a $1.00 off 1 from Here Making the .99 each

• 8- Kraft Homestyle Mac and Cheese BOGO $1.49 each I used a BOGO coupon from Here
  Making the all FREE!
  

There are a few coupons coming out in this Sundays paper to go with this weeks sales. So I will be headed over to get more things this week. One of those things is canned Veggies. They are on BOGO this week and there will be a coupon for that brand in this Sundays paper, so I will be getting them. I also happened to notice, tonight while shopping, a sale on some coffee creamer, and they had some blinkie coupons right in front of them so I may end up getting some of that too.
But even if I spend another $15.00 I will still be well under budget this week. And I will most likely be picking up more grapes and pears as well. I still have some Target coupons to use! There is also going to be a 1/2 off sale on all Kelloggs cereal this Saturday and Sunday. I have a few coupons so I may pick some up as well. We are very stocked on cereal so I will just have to see what the prices are for some of the cereals that don't go BOGO and see if it is a great deal. I will be sure to post again after my next trip!

What I got this week!

Well the sales were not as good for me this week. But for sure that does not mean that there are not good deals to be had.
So before sales and coupons the total for what I got would have been $59.89. And the total that I paid after sales and coupons $10.09! That is a savings of 84%!


Here is all that I got for the small amount of $10.09...

• 1- Maxwell House coffee $1.99 I used a .75 off Q that I had. Final price $1.29
• 12- Beachnut baby foods BOGO .55 I used a coupon from the beach nut website for $1.00 of 3. So the Final price for all of them was an OVERAGE of .70!
• 6- Boxes Golden Grahams, Lucky Charms and Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal. BOGO $3.99 I used 2 $3.00 off 3 coupon that I had making the final price .99 for each!

• 4 - Jars of Barilla pasta sauce. $2.75 BOGO and I used a $.75 off from 8/29 Smart Source insert. Final price on these - $.63 each.
  

So for me this week there was nothing much there, but still worth a trip to get free milk. Especially since the girls finished the milk that we had this morning.
And I will be watching to make sure that there are not any other coupons that come out this weekend to make for better deals with this weeks sale. So who knows I may end up making another trip.
But for now this is it!
