Saved 103% At Publix!

Publix paid me $1.57 for $48 worth

Living in the land of no doubled coupons and pretty high grocery prices mean that getting things for "free" are few and far between. Scenarios like those depicted on some t.v. shows don't happen for people in South Florida. But every once and awhile the coupon and sale stars align and I can get in a trip that is completely free and this time Publix even owed me!

Now, I clearly couldn't have this have been my only trip for the week but since I got all of our basics during Thursday's trip this trip was just a fun bonus for the week. I had originally planned on grabbing some of the BOGO Buitoni pasta during my regular Thursday trip last week but after hearing that we might get some store coupons to stack with the man. coupons I already, had making it better than free, I decided to wait.

As I gathered my coupons for my trip on Monday I realized that there were a few more free or cheap deals and I decided to make a list to get to $30 to use a $5/$30 coupon. Since my Buitoni was better than free and the rest of my items were free or very cheap using the $5 off coupon made everything free when it was all said and done.

While I love having completely free shopping trips, I know that they are rare and I also understand that in order for us to actually have something to eat besides truvia topped linguine I have to have times when I "only" save 60%. But all couponers know, there is nothing like the feeling of seeing your total be zero, or even better, negative.
