in Publix

I am late typing this up today!  I had lunch twice today – one at each of the kids’ schools
And tomorrow we get to head to DISNEY for a quick visit so I definitely have some organizing I have to do for that…AND, Steven has his Fall Festival today after school!

I did a FUN post yesterday about Saving in Disney – if you missed it – you can view it HERE.

If you need to see the current Publix ad with coupon match-ups – just head here.

Now, onto my list!!

10 – Green Giant Valley Steamers – B1G1 – $2.59
used 5 $.50/2 from the paper
used 2 $.75/3 TARGET coupon from Target.com
Total = $8.95

3 – Publix Bottled Waters – B2G1 – $4.49
Total = $9

1 – Pedigree Dog Food – on sale for $16.99
used $2/1 from the Publix Pet Coupons – these are in store – but you can also print them on-line at Publix.com – when you go to look up your weekly ad, you will see them on the right hand side
Total = $14.99

2 – Disney Vitamins – $5.99
used $6/2 PUBLIX coupon from the Green Advantage Flyer
used 2 $1/1 coupons from here
Total = $4

2 – GM Cereals – B1G1 – $4.99
used 1 $1/2 coupon from here
Total = $3.99 – not the best price ever – but they are the big boxes

used 8 $1/1 – there were some in the paper and you can print them from HERE

Total = $2.76

I happily used my $3/$30 Publix coupon from the Publix Fitness and Nutrition Challenge here and I used a $5/$50 GFS coupon that was in last weekend’s paper.  The Apex Publix (it’s inbetween Florida and Nebraska Avenue in Lutz) takes GFS coupons!  AND I had a FREE $10 PUBLIX GIFT CARD when you spend $50.

In the end I SPENT just $35 and I SAVED $93!
