I wish my store had the dentastix naturals but they didn't so no doggie treats.

11 packs of chinet lunch plates (advantage buy @$2.50 each -$2/1 q)
2 kraft ranch $1.50qs
2 a-1 $2 qs
8 packs of kraft singles (used 1 kroger $1/2 and 3 target $1/2 insert qs) brand loyal to this one so not a bad price
1 box of eggos $1.39
3 danimals crush cups ($1 insert qs, thanks for the heads up on the $4/2)
1 pepsi throwback $1.39 splurge
1 dentyne ice $1.19 ($2/1 bjs q)
1 5 gum $1.49 ($2 bjs q)
1 glad trash bags 55 ct. $5.49 ($2 bjs q)
1 8ct pop tarts
1 shrimp ring -$1/1 seafood publix q
6 bags of goldfish bogo (1 .50/2 kroger q)
4 boxes of betty crocker brownie mix (.50/2 qs doubled) (no movie peelies :( )
1 box popsicles 24 ct $2
1 heluva good dip
2 j&j gauze 10ct $1.79 (minus $3/2 and $2/2 publix q) blinkie machine is gone btw

$25 gift card from a script transfer (rite aid coupon)
total paid in cash $27.22

Coupons $56 total counting doubles and store qs. Also talked to the district manager for about 10 minutes going over everything again about qs and he said yes he will still take bjs coupons but they are just cracking down more on making sure people follow the wording like size counts and if it says no other coupon can be used with this coupon, you can't use a man. q with it but he said they are just like store qs so you can stack them as long as neither prohibits it and it counts as your store q. He also told me to go ahead and get overage and they will give you cash out of the drawer if necessary. He advised me which cashiers know the policy best if anyone gives me trouble (last week I had an issue with a bjs q) and he looked at my target qs and said any for food he will take without a problem, anything else run by him first. Nice! I didn't think they took target!

Could have done better but no popsicle qs and I buy them anyway all the time and we love goldfish so that was a great price.

Last night I was happy as a kid waking up to find that it's a snow day from school. I felt like singing the Dr. Pepper jingle right there in the store. Dr. P is distributed by Pepsi here. So, it's part of the double sale of $3/12 pk and "Buy 4 Get 1 free" deal, AND has the store q in the Yellow Advantage Buy flier for Buy 2/Get 1 free, PLUS there were manufacturer q peelies good at Publix Only $2 off/2. I kept great restraint and only bought ten.

10 X $3 = 30
-$6 (automatic on the register) = $24
-$3 x 3 store q = $15
-$2 X 5 man q = $5 total
120 Dr. Pepper for $5!!!

I took the peelies that I had left from the purchases (since I only needed to use half of them) and used them at a different store today. The cashier was a nervous Nellie who kept calling to her super, trying to get the coupons disallowed. The super assured her that they could all be used together, but the cashier kept shaking her head while she rang them, saying, "This isn't right. This isn't right."

Oh! If I didn't already think that was a fantastic deal, the cherry DP's all have a q printed inside the cartons for $1 off your next single purchase, any size, any flavor.

Exuse me, please, while I do a happy dance and sing a Dr. Pepper jingle.

yes they do at my alsome store i usually use it for extra stuff 2 but they had majority of lights off so i never move around when its like that.thats a major no,no security problem. but it ussually goes back 2 the store on next trips

I'd be dancing too! I love love love Diet Dr Pepper Great JOB!! Our Publix has such nice cashiers. I wonder why they care q's are reimbursed. I shop at Kroger usually cause Kroger is closer. I lurk and hammer Publix on BOGO's with q's. I am usually not happy cause I have to get rc's

should've been $2.60, I noticed when I got to the car one Q was scanned twice. I went back in with a dollar and the manager wouldn't take it.

[aneesha33]

had a great trip this afternoon. the cashier was nervous suzy with all of my qs. she tried to tell me no flips or target qs allowed. i said please call the manager over and of couse the mod said yes we sure do. nervous suzy showed every coupon to the mod and asked if its okay to take. mod said sure sure sure. so i so called thought she scanned them all but she didnt. realized that when i got to the car went back in and that same nice mod went to nervous suzy's register and got the qs. i pulled out all the ones that were mine, counted 36 qs and only 32 scanned. mod goes back and calculates everything comes back and gives me 5 bucks. which is really what i was owed because my calculations came to 37 and sum change and i paid 42 and sum change. So hats off to the mod at the southschase publix in orlando.

now with that being said i wanted to highlight some of the good deals i got using the 2.00 off meat wyb 2 kraft products:

1lb of ground turkey-.87
1 lb of ground chicken-.79
big pack of chicken drumsticks (12 in a pack)-1.66
sirlon tip roast-2.06 (that included using 1.00 of butchers brand flip)

I don't have the willpower to list what I got item by item, but yesterday with a combo of BOGO, coupons, and a little overage to cover some very cool splurges my receipt shows a mightly good savings:

spent $10.21
Saved $179.70

[Mom2Natalya]

I did five transactions.

And I got 2 pounds each of cherries (which we love) and shrimp (which I never splurge on), and about 5 pounds of bananas, which my child is going to eat us out of house and home on.
