I had another wonderful week of shopping at Publix. Here's what my savings looked like:
Shelf Cost: $168.93
Coupons: $37.02
Discounts: $70.62
Rebates Used: $10.00
Amount Spent: $51.29
Percentage Saved: 70%
I had a Publix gift card that I recieved from the Kimberly Clark rebate (Huggies products basically) that I posted about on Friday. If I receive a gift card, I include it in my savings once I use the card. If I'm receiving a cash rebate, I count it in my savings the day I purchase the items I'll be receiving the rebate on. Make sense?
Here are some of my best deals:
Ronzoni Healthy Harvest Pasta: (4 boxes) $1.79- $0.89 BOGO Sale - (2) $1/2 Manuf Coupon = $0.39 per box
Valley Fresh Frozen Veggies: (4 bags) $2.39 each - 1.19 BOGO Sale - $1.00 for $0.50/1 Manuf Coupons that doubled = $0.19 per bag
Pita and Bagel Chips: (6 bags) $3.29 each - $1.29 each with rain check price - (3) Buy one Pita Chip get one Bagel Chip free peeled off the front of the Bagel Chip bag = $1.00 per bag
Cascandian Frozen Organic Fruits: (4 bags) $3.49 each - $1.50 each sale price - (1) Publix $2/3 Cascandian Frozen Veggies or Fruits - (2) $1/1 Cascandian Product Manuf Coupon - (1) $1/2 Cascandian Products Manuf Coupon = $0.74 each

I didn't get anything for free today but who's cares! I still saved 70%!
Congrats! I have to say I am jealous. You probably know there is no Publix in Knoxville. I think it is hard to achieve that kind of savings at Kroger, their sales are not as good. They do not do as many bogo free specials. I think the best I've ever done was 45% savings. I'm learning to use Ingles, they seem to run better sales. But overall some of their prices are higher.
ReplyDeleteA lot of people in Chattanooga go to Ingles. They are kind of like Publix, I think, in the fact that their prices are a little higher but their sales are awesome. I also shop Bi-Lo and usually get 40-50% savings there. 45% is great Katie! I typically get around 45% also but I've had some awesome weeks at Publix lately.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the encouragement. I'm glad to know that other people do well at Ingles also. I will try to pay more attention to that. There's no Bi-Lo's left here either! I have used a lot of your advice from the blog and I will try to comment more often about what is working out for me.
