My great shopping trip at Publix!- Post your brags here

Yesterday was a headache. Rude cashier. Complaining customers in line behind me. :sad:

5 Michelina's flatbread things -1 (from contacting company)
6 ICBINB sticks -1/1 x 6
3 Glade Candles -2/1 x 3 & 4/1 x 3(publix)
2 Barber Chicken -1/1 x 2 & 1/1 x 2(publix)
1 Oscar Mayer pepperoni All the pepperoni talk made me want some! (I think this brand seems way less greeeeeasy than HF, btw)
-5/30 W/d homemailer
Total = 1.53

Total seemed too low. Checking over my receipt to type this up, she scanned one of my 2/1 coupons twice. I didn't give more than the three, as I still have the correct amount left here on my desk. Would you give the store two bucks for her mistake when you stop in next time?


ETA- They thought I was nuts. Thanked me for being honest, but told me to keep the two bucks!

Yes, I would. I always want my two bucks when THEY make the mistake.
Sorry the day was bad but you did great on savings!

so funny - my total came to $23 before those last two coupons and the cashier (very earnestly) said to me "do you want to save these for next time?" - I just said no but I was thinking - "why would I spend $23 when I can spend $13???"

Vendor coupons - $29.50
Store coupons - $31.00
Advertised special savings - $18.01
Advantage buy savings - $1.68

total savings - $80.19

total OOP $13.09

This has been a great week!I used a lot of coupons but I also bought a lot of items that I didn't have a coupon for (fruit, veggies, deli). I spent $59.97 and saved $257.70. I also plan on submitting three $5 S.C. Johnson mail-in-rebates.
I have to say Thank you to all the wonderful people who post the deals in this forum!!!!

Is it possible you mean S.C. Johnson rebates?

[Artemisns]

Yes, S.C. Johnson rebates. Sorry about that and thank you for pointing out the mistake. I'll correct it in my original post.

[debbie_1210]

Awesome job!!!

[AllisonL]

Another great week for me at Publix. Thank goodness b/c next week isn't looking very good.

OOP (incl. 1.43 tax): 5.00
Saved: 130.29

That's a savings of over 96%

Since Publix has some SCJohnson products on sale, this is a great week to do the SC Johnson $5 Rebate if you haven't done it yet.

$3.29 Scrubbing Bubbles Bathroom Cleaner BOGO
$0.00 Scrubbing Bubbles Bathroom Cleaner
-2.00/2 Scrubbing Bubbles Peelie (taken off package)
-1.50/2 Scrubbing Bubbles Target Coupon 11/15 SmartSource
Final Price FREE plus profit

I'll do this transaction twice because you need to buy 3 products. I'll then send the rebate in to receive $5. At the end, I'll get 4 FREE Scrubbing Bubbles and $5.

If you don't have the Scrubbing Bubbles Peelies Coupons, you can also do this rebate for Ziploc Bags which are on sale this week for $2.00 each.

$2.00 Ziploc Bags
$2.00 Ziploc Bags
$2.00 Ziploc Bags
-1.00/2 coupon SmartSource 12/6
Pay $5.00 Out of Pocket
Send in for rebate and get $5.00 back.
Final Price FREE

The best part is you can do this rebate three times. You need to have separate receipts and forms.
