Since one of our goals is to share specific deals that we find (as well as general tips), I think it would be helpful to post where we usually shop. That way we can pass on information that we know will really help others in this thread. I shop primarily at Publix and CVS, but if the sales are worth it I will also go to Target, Kroger and Ingles.

Did a couple more small trips yesterday:
CVS - Spent $1.68 oop which was all tax, saved $37.44. This included personal stockpile items (TP, etc.) and items to donate to Haiti Relief. Savings came from CRT's, q's and a $5/30 CVS q from my e-mail.

Publix - I am trying to stay under the radar here since I usually go to a small town store (usually on my lunch hour) and everybody knows me. That's why I am making smaller, more frequent trips. Spent $9.59, saved $41.51 which included 4 more free Hallmark cards, 5 Chex Mix, gal each of milk & Arizona tea, bottle of wine

, Craisins, 1 box Tyson Beef Tips and 4 Knox Gelatin.

My Publix allows overage so I am using the $4/1 Knox q which I bought on EBay (x 3/7 I think) and buying the Knox Gelatin (which I will be donating) that is $1.39 each which gives me an overage on each box of $2.61. Then I can reduce oop on things I really need and have more money to stock up on Publix's sales. Hope this helps someone!

So what you are saying is you use the overage from the gelatin to buy Wine. I Love it.
