Well I have finally made it to using all my coupons at checkout instead of having them all refused but maybe one or two.This has took me five months.So you do learn after all if you put in the time and learning. I went to Publix tonight and walked out with $24.00 of stuff and only had to pay $6.48.I got 6 bags of Bugles and Chex at 2.59.B1G1 and used two 50/1 choc. chex cpns.Cost was 80 cents per bag.I also got three bottles of Sundown Vit.A at $3.29 each with Publix New Years Flyer cpns for $3.00 off each bottle,making it 29 cents each.(Was supposed to be bigger bottles but clerk was a sweetheart and put it thru this one time.Also the Care free pads of 20 were $1.29 with $1.00 off each(Flyer again)making them 29 cents each.So I averaged about 55 cents each on twelve items..I went to Walgreens afterwards to spend my raincheck for Skippy Peanut butter at 2/$4.Price was $4.39 each on shelf.Paid $8.00 for four jars.Peroxide was $2.00 for two huge bottles.Two toy,s were half off at $7.00 and $8.00 instead of $20.00 each.And snack little 8 pks candy bars were $1 each instead of $1.69.Got 10 or those. So I saved $41.00 at Walgreens and $24.00 at Publix tonight.It,s about time.I am thrilled with my progress and I am coupon crazy on anything I buy for our household.Everyone out there keep on learning it does pay off.I have only myself and the Internet to teach me.And I give many many many THANKS TO ALL who have taught me on their web sites.My first stockpile gift was a Thanksgiving Dinner,complete with the turkey and stuffing and desserts and veg.It was a Beautiful feeling to help those in need.I hope GOD will continue to bless me,so I can give constantly to the food banks in town.I, am going to Rock The Walgreens in a few days.I can hardly wait.

Congrats on the accomplishment. It does take time, but dont quit. One day you will be able to walk out with paying almost nothing. : )

I dont have publix around me for your poll, so out of the choices I picked Wally World. I can get pretty good deals there and if I try really hard, Wags is my next favorite.

Hope you continue on saving in 2012

I shopped Publix the first time in Oct. when I was in FL. I loved the store...wish we had them in TX. Also loved Aldi's. Again not in TX. Keep up the good work. Isn't it fun to get bags of groceries and only pay a few dollars! Then you get another rush if you are able to donate it. Good luck..

Anyone know of ceral deals at Walgreen,s.Or elsewhere,cheap?Thanks to you awesome women.You all ROCK.My 6yr old found the colgate toothbrush at Walmart for 99 cents and he had a coupon for 75/1,which at checkout he unloaded the buggy of banana,s and his purchase.Next (GET THIS GIRL.S).He flipped his coupon across the counter and it slid right up to the cashier.She grinned and chuckled at his experience at 6yrs old,whom will turn 7 on Jan 21st.He rocked the Walmart,when I could not find a deal.
