My Favorite Store...Publix
I HEART PUBLIX!!!!!
Short and VERY SWEET post. I saved $117.64 and spent $33.20 (including tax).
Did you know that Publix will also take Rite Aid coupons?? yep, Today i had a $5 off of $25. So go get yours.. http://content.riteaid.com/rabrand/email_coupon_4G.pdf
Also, if you receive the stack of papers in your mail box that has coupons, flyer's, and such...that you may actually just toss...DON'T, Albertson's almost ALWAYS has $5 off $50....My bill should have been $28.20 instead of $33.20...but I used one of my $5 off $50 on my momma's meat stash...until later...Happy shopping!

YES!! I am still a vegetarian! LOL
So there isn't an Albertson's near my mom and as I previously posted they tend to have good meat and seafood deals, but everything else tends to be a little more expensive...Anywhoo..I mentioned the deals to my mom and she wanted me to pick up a few things, since she has Aiden for the day I figured I'd be nice and buy meat (Seasoned Boneless Pork Chops, Sirloin Steak, and Country Style Pork Ribs) a total of 9 packages. She has a deep freezer, which as most of you already know, keeps meat fresh/frozen for much longer....So the following meat was Buy1Get2 free, (the sale by date is still multiple days away....so the meat is still very fresh) and then I had a $5 of $50. So the grand total was $45.15, and the total savings $103.

CVS
So CVS ending up paying me a couple of CVS bucks today and I got 5 items...I'll post how later...and how Aiden made it an Adventure...
TIPS
Get 2 copies of every free booklet that Publix offers...stop buy 2 publix if possible and pick them up. Sometimes they carry different ones. Don’t forget the (Yellow and Green Sales Flyers) Advantage Buy Deals or the Green advantage buy deals. A New Green Advantage Buy Flyer starts 5/30. Look for those deals later in the week sales paper.
Also try to get, Save Money Save The Planet, Greenwise, there is an organic postcard style booklet, and A New summer savings book (which isn't typically on the rack with all of the others), I have seen in right inside the doors and i have seen it in a stand near customer service...If you can not find these...ASK customer Service, they will gladly look for you and many times they have EXTRA behind the counter, remember to ask for 2.
www.SouthernSavers.com - TIPS
RP - stands for the Insert RED PLUM, that comes in the Sunday paper
SS - stands for SMARTSOURCE, that also comes in the Sunday paper
The date behind these abbreviation (example, RP 5/17) is the date of the Sunday paper where the insert was found.
***When you get you inserts in your Sunday paper, IMMEDIATELY put the date of the paper on the front of the insert so you can easily locate the insert that SuperSavers is referring to!

Needed Bananas for Aiden..okay and FREE plates
So I made a stop by Publix on my way home this evening..Aiden needed fruit for breakfast (plus I wanted more free paper plates/bowls...less dishes for me to wash).
This is what I bought.
3 bananas
1 medium white onion
1 package - Dixie paper bowls
1 package - Dixie paper plates
total out of my pocket....67 cents!
But here is the story. Paper plates B1g1 and I had two $1.00 target coupons and 2 $1 manufact. coupons....cashier said "you can't use all of these because it will then make the product free" I politely and soft spokeningly (a Cindy word) (loudness sounds confrontational) reminded her that Publix allows you to "stake" manufact. and competitors...she said "i can call someone for customer service if you want"....Since there was a line forming..and I sincerely try to be a friendly coupon lady and respectful of others time...I said that's okay and asked for my total...I paid $2.67...the bag girl, said I would go to customer service (which I needed to anyway..because remember last night i forgot to take a couple of coupons with me). ANYWHOOO...Walked over to customer service desk...SWEET customer service lady apologized and explained the policy (the one I tried to tell the cashier) and gladly gave me the $2 back that the cashier insist i pay...so VIOLA...with a couple extra steps...67 cents! Plus got my money for the coupons I forgot to use last night :) Thank you very nice customer service lady...i so tried to recall her name for this post..but it was the Publix at Orange and Michigan :)

OOOPPPSS!
I forgot $4 worth of veggie mroning star coupons at home...but quess what?? I can take them back in the morning along with my receipt and Publix will give me $4 back...So this was a little trip, but I want to explain how it work...
I spent $16.22 and saved $22.46 (after I get my $4 back tomorrow that will change to spending $12.22 and saving $26.46)
Bought 2 Kraft Salad Dressing. They were B1G1...which made them $2.93 a piece the I had 2 $1 manufact. coupons and 2 $1 Target coupons..which means I earned $1.07 on the Dressing.
Same Exact scenario on the Dixie bowls and plates (which I volunteered to bring to Aiden day school party on Thursday) $2.93 B1G1 with 2 manufact. coupons and 2 Target coupons...which meant I earned $1.07
I bought 2 Hefty Tall 20 count Garbage Bags for $3.69 each. I had 2 $1 target coupons and 2 $1 manufact. coupons...so I paid $3.38 for two boxes of Hefty Garbage bags.
***so if you take my overages from the Dixie bowls/plate and salad dressing and you and in what i paid for the garbage bags...I actually paid $1.24 for all the forementioned items (too bad I couldn't stop there)
But then came the expensive Veggie stuff we eat, and we needed veggie bacon for breakfast, corndogs for Aiden's lunch, and chicken strips for a yummy chicken and rice casserole I will make this week....so here is how I got stuck paying $16.22
Veggie Bacon = $3.79
Veggie Bacon = $3.79
Veggie Corn Dogs = $3.99
Veggie Chicken Strips = $5.99
total on veggie product + $1.24 from other products = $18.80
then I used $3 in veggie coupons = $15.80 plus tax= $16.22
and saved $22.46

Sunday's Shopping Trips and Tips
The photo above is from my trip to Albertsons, CVS, and Walgreens. I personally think Albertson's is way to expensive (and I just don't like the one near me) so I never shop there...but yesterday they had a shrimp sale...Extra Large Shrimp $14.99 buy 1 and get 2 FREE...Total I spent $45 at these 3 stores and saved $128. CVS and Walgreens have items ever week that when you purchase them you get a coupon back for money to use on your next purchase (for example: $5 off your next purchase) so sometimes I have to do more than one transaction so I can get the coupon and then use it to buy the next item to get another coupon...In order to get the coupons to print at CVS you MUST get a CVS card...so go to WWW.CVS.com and register for your free card today or sign up for on the next time you are in CVS and then go online to register it so they will also send you coupons in the mail!! Like $4 off $20....
The above picture is from my shopping trip to Publix last week. I must admit that prior to couponing I had stopped shopping at Publix as much because i was doing what I thought at was saving money...boy was I mislead...PUBLIX is the place where you want to be for grocery's...the majority of Publix takes all competitors coupons and you can use multiple coupons per item (which means, one competitors, one manufacturers, and one Publix) now granted three for one item doesn't happen that often..but two typed for one happens A LOT...In addition you can use one coupon for each item when it is B1G1 (buy one get one free)...(for example, Dixie plate are B1G1 right now at publix....which means you can print 2 coupons from Target.com and then use 2 manufactures coupons if you have them from past sales ads). It is a good idea to buy at least 2 Sunday papers...I don't worry about cutting all the coupons at that time...I cut as I need them...but it is important to write the date of the newspaper on the FRONT of the coupon insert...so if a website like www.southernsavers.com , refers you to a certain issue on a certain date, you can easily locate it...Yesterday I went to a variety of stores, Publix, Albertsons, CVS, and Walgreens. I spent a total of $80 and saved $200. In future post I will share more pictures of my loot, as well as, be more specific about amounts spent and saved. Please feel free to ask me any question you may have...i may not have the answer but if I do I will definitely share...I hope you save money, that is my primary reason for this blog!
More to come....
New to the Coupon and Blog World.
Hi Everyone!!
I am new to the coupon on and I am officially addicted. I love matching coupons to what is on sale and I especially LOVE seeing the results at the register. Just to let everyone know I was a little overwhelmed at first. I have always tried to use coupons but the $1 or $2 I used to save in the store never seem to match all of the hassle.
Things have changed for me. I am still a newbie to the world of coupons, but like to thing I am a fast learner...and boy my receipts are encouraging me.
I would like to use this blog to encourage others to enter the "coupon world" with me and save $$$ for you and your family.
Our economy being in a recession SUCKS!! but I am thankful for the lesson I am learning and plan to use for the rest of my life...and couponing is one of those lessons.
Couponing (not sure this is officially a word - but on the Cindy blog it is ;) ) is SUPER FUN for me and may not be as fun for everyone...but I know if you try it we will have at least one thing in common...The JOY that comes with saving $$$$!
So thank you in advance for showing interest in my newest and most lucrative Hobby.....Coupons!
I must thank my girl, Randi, for encouraging me to create a blog! Thank You!!!
