More Gas savings this week!

With the gas prices going up I was super excited to see the $10.00 off gas card coupon in the Publix weekly add this week! And this time the coupon is for any $50.00 gas card not just B.P.! I was able to get 3 $50.00 Hess gas gift cards. And I only paid $120.00 for them. I chose Hess because it is closer and usually a little less per gallon that B.P. So there is a savings of 20% on gas!! I will most likely try and get a couple more before the sale ends. Essentially I am using our gas budget to prepaying for our gas by getting the gas gift cards at the grocery store. So this will be about a month and a half for us!

So now on to the groceries!

The total before sales and coupons would have been $168.99. The total out of pocket $20.30, for a saving of 88%!!

Here is what I got...

12- birds eye frozen veggies .89 each I used manufactures coupons for $1.00 off 4 and Publix store coupons for $1.00 off 2 making them .05 each!

4- Yoplait smoothie bags $2.50 each I used Publix store coupon for $1.00 off 2 and manufactures coupons for $1.00 off 1 making them $1.00 each

1- egg beaters $1.67 I used a Publix store coupon for .75 and a manufactures coupon for a free egg beater. Making it an OVERAGE OF .75!

12- 2 litters soda BOGO $1.89 I used manufactures coupons for $1.00 off 2 making them .44 each

10- Propel waters .50 each I used manufactures for $1.00 off 2 making them FREE!

4- Voskos Yogurt $1.00 each I used manufactures coupons for $1.00 off making them FREE!

1lb- Strawberries $1.67 I used a manufactures coupon for $1.00 making them .67

2.05lb Oranges $1.69 I used a manufactures coupon for $1.00 making them .69

1.75lb- Bananas $1.21 I used a manufactures coupon for $1.00 making them .21

6- Raisin Bran Crunch BOGO $3.99 I used Target store coupons for $1.00 off 3 and manufactures coupons for .70 off each making them .96 each

24- Sargento Shredded Cheese $2.00 I used Publix store coupons for $1.50 off each and manufactures coupons for $1.00 off 2 making them all FREE!!

With Al being a huge cheese fan, and the girls and I also liking it, we use a lot of cheese. So to get it free is HUGE in this house! Also the 2 litters will be perfect to send with the girls for an AWANA overnight lock in next week!

So because the total before coupons was over $75.00 they allowed me to use 3 of the gas coupons. And the manager said it was fine to do them all at once and there was no need to break it into separate transactions. I was ready to do them into 3 transactions but it was nice doing it all at once!
And I also found out that you can use Albertsons store coupons at the Publix I go to, This is news to me so I am super excited about that possibility!! It is the little things that get me excited!!

Great sales at Publix this week

Wow, what a great week for sales this week!
Let me get right to it. The total before sales and coupons would have been $174.36. After sales and coupons I paid $6.01 out of pocket. That is a total saving of 97%! And I got a ton! In addition to the coupons listed below, I also used 2 Winn Dixie store coupons for $5.00 off $30.00 purchase. So that took off $10.00 right from the start! Great way to start I'd say!
Here it all is...

20- canned Green Giant Veggies. BOGO $1.29 I used Publix store coupons for $1.00 off 4 and a $5.00 off 20. Making them .14 each
20- cans Progresso Black beans .66 I used Publix store coupon for $1.00 off 4 and a $5.00 off 20 making them .16 each
16- cans Tomato sauce .33 each I used manufactures coupons for .45 off 3, Publix store coupons for $5.00 20. See below.
4- Frozen Green giant veggies. $1.00 used manufactures coupons for .50 off each and this finished the 20 things needed for the Publix store coupon of $5.00 off 20. Making it .48 for all the frozen veggies and canned tomato sauce.
8- Wishbone salad dressings $2.89 BOGO I used Target store coupons for $1.50 off 2 and manufactures coupons for $1.00 off 2 Making them .19 each.

1- bunch bananas $1.44. I used a manufactures coupon for $3.00 off fruit when you buy 3 Kashi cereals making them FREE with $1.56 overage!

1- bag broccoli $1.00 No coupons used for this

4- Graham Crackers $3.99 BOGO I used a Target store coupon for $1.00 off 2 and manufactures coupons for $1.00 off 2 making them .99 each

4- Scrubbing bubbles bathroom cleaner $2.00 I used Publix store coupon for $2.00 off 2 and manufactures coupons for $2.00 off one making them FREE with a total OVERAGE of $2.00
That is 97 items for only $6.01. Or to put it another way 6 cents for each item I purchased!
These sales are so good I may have to take some more time to look and see what else I can come up with. But I don't think I did too bad for this weeks grocery budget!

What a HAUL!

Wow this weeks add was great for our family! I got so much stuff that it even prompted the checker to say that she wants to start couponing! And this weeks shopping included out Christmas ham and a couple treats!
So before sales and coupons this would have cost $231.60. And After, what I paid, was just $37.83! That is a whopping savings of $193.77 or 94%.
And lets add another blessing on top of it. I paid with a gift card that I won from a Gatorade/Publix sweepstakes and received in the mail a couple days ago. So technically there was absolutely nothing out of my pocket for all this! And I still have some left on my winning gift card! God is amazing!!
And now time for the photo and rundown of all that is there.

How to save on gas for your car

This weeks Publix sales were not that great for my family. There really was nothing much there. But then I found a gem! There is a coupon in this weeks sales paper that is for $10.00 off a $50.00 BP Gas gift card, when you spend $25.00 in other groceries. So I started working the numbers and came up with a couple different transactions that I did. I was able to get 3 cards, a total of $150.00 in gas, and I only paid $87 out of pocket for it! How great is that!?!

The first one, sadly, I did not take a photo of but it included 4 boxes of Cheeze-its, 4 cans of Almonds, 4 bottles of Sundown Vitamins, and 2 bags of pretzels.

For all the transactions I used a $5.00 off $50.00 purchase Winn Dixie coupon that I found in the Sunday paper. Publix is great in-that they even take these types of competitor store coupons. (Try that at Walmart!) Plus, I had other coupons for all the other items I bought.

So here is photo of the second transaction...

And here is the break down.

• 4- Boxes of Cheeze-its crackers $3.09 BOGO I used a coupon that was on the box for $1.00 off 2 making them $1.04 each
• 4- Bottles Sundown Vitamins $2.99 I used a Publix store coupon for $3.00 off 1 and a manufactures coupon for $1.00 off 1 making them FREE with a total overage of $4.04
• 2- bags Snyders pretzels $2.59 I used a Target store coupon for $1.50 off when you buy a box of cheeze-its crackers. Making them $1.09 each
• 1- $50.00 BP Gas Gift card. I used the Publix store coupon found in the weekly add for $10.00 off making it $40.00
  

Like I said before I used a Winn Dixie store coupon for $5.00 off a $50.00 purchase.
So when you take the $10 coupon off of the $50.00 card, and then apply the $5.00 Winn Dixie card, and the overage of the vitamins of $4.04... I paid a whopping $30.96 for $50.00 worth of gas.

This is the last transaction, which I did just this evening...

I got

• 4- Bottles of Sundown Vitamins $2.99. I used the same coupons as listed above for an overage for all of them
• 4 - Bottles of Sobe Life water. $1.00 I used a manufactures coupons for Free Sobe that I won from and online game. Making them FREE!
• 4- Boxes of Theraflu caplets $3.50 each I used a Publix store coupon for $5.00 off 2 and Manufactures coupons for $2.00 off 1. Making them FREE with a total overage of $4.00
  This is something that our family doesn't use. We prefer to let our body's natural immunity do its job, and we use things that complement the bodies healing process. However, getting it free with overage, is worth bringing it home even if we give it to someone else.
• 1- BP gift card for $50.00 I used the Publix store coupon for $10.00 off making it $40.00
  

Again I used the $5.00 off $50.00 purchase Winn Dixie coupon. So I Paid $25.89 out of pocket of all this

I was able to get $150.00 worth of gas cards for $87.81!

Oh yeah and there was all the other grocery items for that price as well!

Really the only thing I can say is God is Good! I am just amazed at how He is continuing to show me how to make the most of what he has given us. Praise be to GOD!
Chris

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!
