Uh-oh....I'm moving to Orlando in 6-8 months. You and I may be competing against each other.

Okay, I have to know how you did it and what coupons....I need to do that!

[rumrunnergirl]

Is this right - you buy 3 packets of Kool Aid (which aren't single serve because they make 2 quarts) and then you get something free - which is also on B1G1F sale - so both of the item are free?

So if I buy 3 Kool Aid and 2 OM hot dogs, then both hot dogs are free? I did do it this way today - got 4 free hot dogs, 2 free Crystal Light and 2 free Kraft Dressings - but wasn't sure if I was supposed to get a third of the B1G1F item.

18 boxes of hamburger helper and chicken helper
9 pounds of ground beef


Total : 9.XX

I am in a state that doesn't double coupons too! (FL)

OK, This is my first post to HCW - I have been here only a few weeks, and have been couponing/doing the shopping in our family for a couple of months now...here's my latest deal at Publix:

2 Tostitos Family Size ($2 WYB 2 tostitos + 2 sauces)
4 Greased Ligntning Grease Cleaner (4X$1.50 coupon)
4 MC Grinders Sea Salt

2 Tostitos Chili con queso
2 Family Size Liption Tea bags ($0.75/2 coupon)
6 Luigi Italian Ice (3 $1.00/2 coupon)
2 Cool Whip
3+ lbs Ribeye Steak (my wife says it's as good as the steak at Sam Seltzer's!)
6 boxes Quaker Toffee Almond Sweet n Salty (2/$2.50 closeout)
2 Stacys Tomato n something chips (2 $1/1 IP coupon)
4 Kraft Mayo with Olive Oil (4 $1/1 coupon)
2 Planters Honey Roasted Peanuts (2 $3/1 IP WYB 3 Kraft)

=$161.29 - $69.02 special savings - $1.96 Advantage Buy -$25.75 vendor coupons= $64.56 paid OOP

After reading the other forums at HCW, I went to WD the next day and bought the following;

1st trip:

18 Kool-Aid packets (4/$1.00)
6 cans of Planters South Beach Nut-ritious? ($6.29 B1G1)

= 23.37 - 6X$3.00 off Planters IP coupons = $5.37 OOP + $6.50 catalina coupon printed with my receipt.

2nd trip:

18 Kool-Aid packets (4/$1.00)
6 cans of Planters South Beach Nut-ritious? ($6.29 B1G1)
~3 lbs grapes ($1.99/lb)

=$1.92 OOP after coupons and $6.50 catalina coupon from the first trip, plus a 2nd $6.50 coupon for my next trip to WD!

Any hints about how I could have done any of these shopping trips better?

Thanks for all of the help!

OMG...I just had to share......and I know that this is one place where I will find people who can understand my excitement.
I have been shopping at Publix for a while now, and been couponing for about a year - but - this is the first time I had such great coupons.
So....after much head scratching and hair pulling, I finally came up with a plan and was okayed by pennywatcher and mamabird...Thank you, thank you!!!!!.I really needed some approval and to ensure that I was using the coupons correctly..... it sounded too good to be true!!!!

But this is what I got:
14 Oscar Mayer hotdogs
10 Kool Aid
2 Kraft Salad Dressing
2 Kraft Mayo
2 Crystal Light

And I paid $4.28!!!!!
I still cant beleive it - I am still gawking over my receipt!!!

I had a great trip at Publix yesterday! It was $128 before coupons and $33 after. :) That included 12 bags of Tyson chicken which I had a raincheck for.

Here's my Publix deal. (I don't normally shop at Publix, but couldn't pass this up.)
My husband found a $5/30 or more cp on our Saturday paper and they had tons of BOGO, plus my coupons= super savings!
I got:
*8 Kraft Mayonnaise w/Olive Oil BOGO $3.59 (8 $1.00cps)
*4 A-1 Steak Sauce BOGO $3.85 (4 $1.00cps)
*6 Hamburger/Chicken Helpers BOGO $1.59 (2 $0.75/3cps)
*8 Quaker Chewy Granola Bars BOGO $2.79 (4 $1.00/2 cps)
*4 Oscar Mayer Beef Franks BOGO $3.69 (4 $.050cps)
*2 Molli Coolz Ice cream BOGO $4.69 (no cps)
*2 Nabisco chocolate chip cookies BOGO $3.00 (no cps)
* plus $5/30 or more Publix cp

Grand Total after BOGOs and cps = $32.49 (savings of $81.16)

Afterwards, the cashiers told me that I wasn't susposed to use all those coupons on the free items because they were Free to begin with. I told her that it is one coupon per item. My husband said that she was just jealous of my savings. The thing is, I didn't even use all of the coupons that I had. I left, probably, 10 of each of the Kraft Mayonnaise and Quaker Granola on the shelves for others to use. I don't really need 18 bottle of mayo.
