horrible tally at publix (at least in my head)
Posted 06-04-2008 at 03:43:44 AM by tdgirl
Been awhile since I've been shopping. Mostly got condiments, hardly any REAL food. But we are loving the marinades for the 20lbs of .98lb chicken breast we bought last week at Ingles.
I really did a bad job tonight. My goal was to spend $15.00 or less at Publix, but forgot 2 of the coupons and the cashier deducted one of my free items wrong and I did not catch it until after I was at home! I am so mad at myself for not paying attention. Plus, on the way out I grabbed 2 hot dogs packs (1 rang up wrong) for tomorrow nights supper (well, these hotdogs will give us about 4 or 6 meals.) Thinking of going tomorrow to see if they'll give me a partial refund for the hot dogs and see if anything can be done about my Duncan Hines coupon error. When I look at what I got, doesn't seem like a lot for the price I paid....will I ever get better at this? lol
Publix
(1)Duncan Hines Brownies $2.50 -.86c (not the -2.50c that was suppose to come off! stupid me not paying attention)
(4)Pillsbury Reduced Sugar Cake Mix 3.40 - 2.80c = .60
(1)Doritos 3.79 (no coupon)
(2)Ken's Marinades 2.78 - 2.00c = .78
(2)Ken's Marinades 2.80 - 2.00c = .80
(5)Budweiser BBQ Sauces 10.00 - 5.00c = 5.00
(2)Pompeian EVOO 6.99 (forgot my darn coupons!)
(2)Ken's Salad Dressings 5.98c - 5.98 = free
(2)Purina Dog Food 1.98 - 1.98c = free
(1)Ball Park Beef Franks 3.69 (suppose to be 2.50, rang up wrong and i didn't catch it)
(1)Ball Park Angus Franks 3.99 - 1.00c = 2.99
(1)Sara Lee Hot Dog Buns 2.69 - 2.69c = free
(2)Newmans Own Salad Dressings $2 - 2.00c = free
(1)Bourbon Marinade $1 (no coupon, clearance item)
Store Coupons: 7.90 (i'm guessing this includes the $5/$35 coupon)
Vendor Coupons: 32.48
Advertised Special Savings: 15.90
Advantage Buy Savings: 4.34
In-Store Special Savings: 7.17
Your Savings at Publix: 67.79
My total: 24.40 (1.54 was tax) for 27 items
would have been 4.83 less if i had not forgotten my 2 EVOO coupons and if I had been paying attention to the price of the hot dogs and what the cashier had taken off for the Duncan Hines!
And I didn't realize until everything was rung up that I could have split my groceries in 2 transactions and it would have been $5 cheaper. I forgot my Honey Bunches of Oats coupon, then some coupons I tried to print and something happened and they did not print, so I try to send to printer again and it says that I've printed my limit...aggh! Such an aggravation!
CVS
2 M&M's (didn't realize dark chocolate was also on sale or would have used my coupons! silly kelly!)
1 Nestle Crunch candy bar
Used $3 ECB and free candy bar coupon
paid .57
