NEW TO CVS ???
I purchase the FREE or very, very cheap items(above). You need to get a CVS card(cashier will scan before transaction) at the counter. If you are just starting out you will pay small amounts out of pocket--which you will get back on the bottom of your receipt in the form of ECBs.
ECBs are CVS dollars that you can use to purchase anything in the store.
I like to save my ECBs and buy stuff the following week--no money out of pocket.
For example, say you buy 1 Caliber Comp. book for .99. You will pay .99 plus tax out of pocket. However, when your receipt prints you will have a .99 ECB(CVS money) on the bottom. You can use the ECB to purchase anything else in the store before the expiration date. I save mine and use the following week.

Get a paper this Sunday!!!!


Make sure to snag a paper this Sunday...Up to 4 inserts included(5 in some areas?)...You will want to get the largest paper available to you because they will have better coupons. Anyone going to be in Atlanta on Sunday??? That's the paper I WANT!!! :)

Buy SunMaid raisins, Get Publix raisins FREE!
Buy McCormick's sloppy joe mix, Get Publix sloppy joe mix FREE!

**Now this is suppose to be taken off at the register by the cashier...HOWEVER, last night mine was not...Just make sure to tell your cashier it is a Buy Theirs, Get Ours Free item at the register!

Coupon business...$5/30, $5/50 etc...at PUBLIX

ITEM TO NOTE!!! When you are using TWO $5/30(1 Publix, 1 competitor)--Your order total before coupons should be at least $60 dollars!!! Or if you wanted to use a $5/50, $5/30 order total should be at least $80.
Remember always hand these coupons to the cashier first and then your other coupons.

Also, per Chris, Publix in Fairhope will be accepting drugstore coupons as competitors.

Now this may be helpful if you happen to receive a $5/30 or even a $10/50 at CVS. These CVS coupons are found: on the bottom of your receipt, CVS emails, or price scanners where you can scan your CVS card for additional coupons. THEY DO NOT TAKE ECBs.

Walgreen's Rebate Rewards, which are manufacturer coupons printed at the register are also accepted. You can use these to pay...BUT you may only use one RR of a particular Retailer. You will notice on the RR that in the fine print it will say Retailer:Dial, Dove, Pilot...Whoever it is...You can only use one. One Pilot RR. One Dove RR. One Dial RR. You could use three...but they each have to be from a different retailer.
Orange Beach Publix also accepts these!

Bit confusing...So ask questions!!!

MY CVS SAVINGS 7/26/09

Sometimes CVSing just makes me frustrated--and confused. So if you are just starting out, this is normal. :) I think. I've been doing this for months now!
I HAD to go to CVS tonight to use the $5/$20(expires today) that I received via email from CVS. You can sign up on their site for this and more.
Anywho, when I first started CVSing I would go first thing Sunday a.m...BEST selection. Tonight when I went they were already out of a lot of the things that I really wanted to purchase...and the truck does not deliver until Thursday. Crazy. So I had to improvise and add a couple things that were not on the list(candy bars) instead of the clips/stapler/index holder.

This is what I used-
$3.00 in manufacturer coupons(1 toothpaste/2 detergent), $5/$20 CVS coupon
Paid w/ $10.97 ECBs (rolling week to week)
$1.96 out of pocket
I got $11.83 ECBs back on the bottom of my receipt.
So, all in all, I paid $1.10 for all of this. This includes tax. Saved $36.44.


WHAT'S IN THE BUGGY?
2- bottles of Arm and Hammer Detergent
1- tube of Colgate toothpaste
1- CVS tampons 10 ct.
2- 2 pks. of Pilot pens
2- Caliber Notebooks
2- Caliber Erasers
3- Hershey candy bars

MY PUBLIX and HARRIS TEETER SAVINGS in NASHVILLE 7/25/09

My trip to Nashville included a few extra stops. I wanted to take advantage of doubles and some free juice boxes that our local stores do not care.

First stop-PUBLIX! (of course!)

Saved $44.67
Spent $2.73 (includes tax)




WHAT'S IN THE BUGGY?
5- jars of Peanut Butter
10- 3pk. of Organic Juice Boxes
4- 40 fl oz Lysol All Purpose cleaner
1- can of Chef Boy.
1- Reach dental floss
1- jar of Publix Grape Jelly

My friend and I decided to drop in to check out the deals at Harris Teeter since they were doubling coupons up to $1.98!!! WOW, right?!?!?!? So in we went...and out we came with nothing. BUT I was determined to get back to a computer and start finding the HT match ups...I knew there were some good deals in there...and I was not going to find what someone else had already found...So on to Southern Savers(another favorite site of mine) for the match ups! I focused on the FREE stuff...for .69 (includes tax) here is what I bought.



WHAT'S IN THE BUGGY?
1- box of disposable Playtex gloves 10 count
1- box of Playtex Living Gloves
3- 24 fl oz bottles of Dawn dishwashing liquid (looks like I am going to be doing some washing)
1- canister of WET ONES

My CVS Shopping List 7/26

Here is my list for CVS starting this Sunday, 7/26. Once I get the ad in hand on Sunday, I will confirm these deals and go shopping! I purchase the FREE or very cheap items. Remember you need a CVS card(cashier will scan before transaction), which you can get at the counter. And if you are just starting out you will pay small amounts out of pocket--which you will get back on the bottom of your receipt in the form of ECBs. ECBs are CVS dollars that you can use to purchase anything in the store. I like to save my ECBs and buy stuff the following week--no money out of pocket.
For example, say you buy 1 Caliber Comp. book for .99. You will pay .99 plus tax out of pocket. However, when your receipt prints you will have a .99 ECB(CVS money) on the bottom. You can use the ECB to purchase anything else in the store before the expiration date. I save mine and use the following week.

School Supply Deals Good Through Tuesday:
99¢ ECB WYB Caliber 100 Page Composition Books 99¢ "FREE" Limit 2
99¢ ECB WYB CVS Erasers, Push Pins or Binder Clips "FREE" Limit 2

BIC Pens are B1G1. Should be FREE or really close to free—if we can use 2 coupons.

MY PUBLIX SAVINGS 7/22/09



Order Total $8.95
Tax $1.58
Grand Total $10.53

Savings $44.69

WHAT'S IN THE BUGGY?
4 bottles of Mott's apple juice
6 Yoplait Gogurts (my kids like these frozen)
2 bags of Spinach (I was granted permission to use Fresh Express coupons on these since they were out of the FE brand.)
2.29 lbs of bananas(.49 lb)
2 bags of Alexia Chips
1 container of Simply Potatoes
1 pint of Starbucks ice cream
1 16 oz Lawry's Seasoning

Coupons that I used:
$5/$30 (2) 1 Bruno's and 1 Publix--Hand these to the cashier FIRST!!!
.40 off Yoplait(6)
1.00 off Fresh Express(used to buy Publix brand since they were out) (2)
1.00 off Alexia Chips (2)
1 Free Simply Potatoes
1 Free Pint of Starbucks Ice Cream
.55 off Lawry's Seasoning Salt


LITTLE trip--but good savings. I will now submit my receipt and receive a coupon for a FREE bag of Alexia chips!
You may notice that the items that actually ended up in the buggy are a little different than the items originally on the list. For starters the Tyson Skillet meals were $7.99...I will wait until a B1G1 comes around to buy them. I also added a couple of small items to hit the $30 mark so I could use my $5/$30s.


***Please comment and let us know how your shopping trip went!!!!!!***

Tidbits to Note

Hey guys--Just a little note on some coupons that are being wrongly promoted elsewhere. If a coupon says RETAILER it is a MANUFACTURER coupon. You can tell by the code on the bottom of the coupon and the mailing address listed in the fine print.
I have confirmed this with Publix corporate...and have informed the Asst. Manager at the Fairhope store of these fraudulent attempts.
I stay as honest and true with my couponing as possible...so we all get a better deal. :)

Also, when matching up always remember that I HEART PUBLIX is located in a different area...And prices will vary slightly(a couple cents) from store to store. My blog is to show you what I use. I love an early ad!!! I get a ball park on the price to determine if it is a good deal for me to add to the list. I actually use a calculator to add up prices as I drop things into the buggy.

Hopefully you all are finding my blog helpful!!! Please comment and let me know how your shopping trips go!!!! :)

Friday Night--Channel 5!!!

Be sure to tune into Channel 5(WKRG) Friday night. They will be airing a story about our friend, Eastern Shore Mom.

FREE Roastburger at Arby's today.

The girls and I ran by Arby's today in Daphne to try our luck with the FREE Arby's Roastburger. They were indeed giving them away--as long as you bought a medium drink(always a catch right). All and all it cost $1.95(for the drink plus tax).
I ordered the American Roastburger. Good--but would have been better without the shredded lettuce, tomato, ketchup, mustard, mayo...in other words just plain with some Arby's sauce. :)
Find an Arby's close to you and try it!

More Coupons to Print...ConAgra

I keep a folder for just printable coupons...When I first started I printed EVERYTHING...now I am more selective. These are good and I am sure to use them.

$1 off ONE (1) Chef Boyardee 15-oz can (This coupon would make Chef Boyardee FREE at Publix)
$.50 off any ONE (1) Peter Pan Peanut Butter
$.50 off any TWO (2) Crunch 'n Munch
$1 off any FOUR (4) Snack Pack 4-packs

PRINT HERE

YOU CAN ALSO PRINT OUT THE $1 COUPON FOR THE HEBREW NATIONAL HOTDOGS ON THIS SITE--B1G1 AT PUBLIX NOW!!!

CVS 8/2 - Coupons to print NOW!!!

Here are a couple coupons that I recommend you go ahead and print out.

The week of 8/2 at CVS is going to be a moneymaker. Here are the coupons that you will want.

Blink Tears or Gel Tears, $7.99
Get $7.99 ECBs (limit 1)
Blink Tears PRINT
You make $1.50 using the coupon.

Stayfree Pads (28-48 ct.), $5
Get $5 ECBs wyb $10 (limit 1)
BOGO Stayfree Product, exp. 8-31-09 (SS 6/28/09)
Stayfree coupon PRINT

Moneymakers come around every now and then. They can be unadvertised deals, glitches in the system, or just plain ole good deals. I have made up to $32 on moneymakers. But I highly recommend getting out and taking advantage of them as soon as possible--some get pulled after a day or so.

*****
Another CVS deal that is not a moneymaker but includes FREE stuff...
I ordered some of the $2.50 off Electrasol coupons off Ebay awhile back. I may use them the week of 8/2 to score some FREE dishwasher detergent. HOWEVER, would LOVE to see Publix have a B1G1 on this too!!! These are good coupons to order. :)
Here is what the CVS deal looks like for 8/2 on Electrasol.
Electrasol Dish Detergent, 2/$9
Get $10 ECBs wyb $20
$2.50/1 Finish/Electrasol, exp. 8-9-09 (SS 7/12/09)
FREE wyb 5 after 5 coupons and ECBs!

FREE BIC highlighters anyone?

Walgreen's has the BIC 5 pack of highlighters on sale for .49 each. Use the BIC $1/2 coupon found HERE(under household) and get them FREE. You can print it twice by simply hitting the back button. I bought four packs along with a .9 Penway highlighter. So I would be able to use the full amount of both coupons...I paid .23, .18 of that being tax.

Last Day to get the "FREE" school supplies at CVS for this week!!!

I did make my way to CVS today. I had some ECBs to roll over on the "FREE" items.

If you are just starting your CVSing, you will have to pay the balance due out of pocket for your purchase--BUT you will get it all back in ECBs(CVS money) on the bottom of your receipt. I use the ECBs I get back each week and buy the "free" stuff next week. You can use the ECBs to buy anything at CVS. I roll week to week. :) Tax on items comes out of pocket--so ECBs are used before tax.
Sure to be questions--so ask away.

All you need is a CVS card which you can get at the counter. They will scan before each purchase.
It helps to grab an ad by the front door to make sure that you are getting the right things-right counts, brand, etc...


Here are the "FREE" items good through today, TUESDAY:

Caliber or CVS brand Filler Paper, 150 sheets *Limit 2
Price $2 each (Receive $2 ECB)
Final Price FREE

Caliber or CVS brand Memo Book, 50-80 sheets *Limit 2

HOW TO GET THE BEST DEALS AT PUBLIX-The Basics

1. You do not have to buy 2 of the B1G1 items to get the sale price. Items ring up 1/2 and 1/2.

2. If you do buy 2 items that are B1G1 you will get your best deal if you have 2 coupons--sometimes 4 if you have store coupons to stack with the manufacturer coupons.

3. Publix accepts competitor coupons(Target, CVS, Walgreens, Rite Aid, Bruno's, Winn Dixie).

4. You can use ONE PUBLIX/or competitor coupon and ONE manufacturer’s coupon on ONE item. So, a max of TWO coupons per item. This is called stacking.

5. OB and Fairhope Publix locations do NOT double manufacturer coupons. Some Publix stores do double coupons that are.50¢ or less.

6. Orange Beach and Fairhope locations will accept drugstore coupons as competitors(CVS, Walgreens, Rite Aid).
Now this may be helpful if you happen to receive a $5/30 or even a $10/50 at CVS. These CVS coupons are found: on the bottom of your receipt, CVS emails, or price scanners where you can scan your CVS card for additional coupons. THEY DO NOT TAKE ECBs.
Walgreen's Rebate Rewards, which are manufacturer coupons printed at the register are also accepted. You can use these to pay...BUT you may only use one RR of a particular Retailer. You will notice on the RR that in the fine print it will say Retailer:Dial, Dove, Pilot...Whoever it is...You can only use one. One Pilot RR. One Dove RR. One Dial RR. You could use three...but they each have to be from a different retailer.

7. When you are using TWO $5/30(1 Publix, 1 competitor)--Your order total before coupons should be at least $60 dollars!!! Or if you wanted to use a $5/50, $5/30 order total should be at least $80.
Remember always hand these coupons to the cashier first and then your other coupons.

8. Coupon books are usually located in the front of the store.

9. If Publix is out of an item ask for a rain check. Especially if it is B1G1. It is like locking in the lowest price...and you can wait for a good coupon to come around. No exp.

10. Manufacturer coupons mostly come from Sunday papers, magazines, mailings, and the internet(IPs).
Here are good sites for internet printables:
Red Plum
Smart Source
Coupons.com
Always check the manufacturer's websites too!

11. Competitor and store coupons:
I have found Target has some of the BEST competitor coupons--You can find them at Hot Coupon World, click on Target and print.
Publix coupons-mailing and booklets
Target coupons- mailing, newspaper, Hot Coupon World
Walgreen's and CVS see #6,

How do I organize?
I use an accordion file folder which is overflowing into a wicker laundry basket. I tried the binder method but found it to be too much work...and the first time I took it somewhere the coupons fell out! Not good. Each section has a category. I will get more detailed on this later.

How do I prepare for a shopping trip?
When matching up my coupons these are my favorite sites:
I Heart Publix
*These blogs are not in our area--so deals/coupon match up may be slightly different.

I Heart Publix usually gets the sneak peek ad for the upcoming week up on Monday. So I review the list(mostly the B1G1s) and check my coupon files once the list is up. Then as they post their match ups(this is the hard work) I check in and see what links to printable coupons they have found...and look for any coupons that I may have missed.
I put the coupons that I will use on that trip in an envelope(that's what I take in).
Then I print a final list on Publix.com. I stick with the list.

My Publix Savings 7/13/09


My trip tonight was exhausting! I spent a lot of time price checking and trying to find stuff! But here is the deal...I am breaking it down like this-

Order Total $91.07
Tax $2.31
Total $93.38 (***THIS INCLUDES $80 in gas cards***)
So Total without gas cards 13.38!!! Nice, but here it gets better...submitting for the $10 Kraft/Publix Rebate...
So all said and done a whopping total of $3.38 for food tonight!!!!!!
Total Savings $116.38 (Really $126.38 with my rebate)

A PEEK IN THE BUGGY-
2- $50 Shell Gas Cards (in ad $10 coupons)
2- Crystal Light Drink mixes
1- Kraft BBQ sauce*
1- Kraft Dressing*
1- Kraft Mayo*
3- boxes of Jello pudding*
1- carton of eggs
4- boxes of Klondike ice cream bars
1- Digiorno for One
1- 6pk of Danonino Yogurt
4- bags of Simply Potatoes
2- cans of tomato sauce
4- cans of Chef Boy Raviolis
2- boxes of Rice A Roni
1- Knox Gelatin
3- boxes of BandAids
3- bottles of Huggies wash
3- boxes of Tylenol
1- Reach Dental Floss
1-Bakery Item
1- bouquet of flowers

Looking back the stuff seems a bit random...but really we are stocked up on everything! Items tend to cycle on sale--so I buy as many as I have coupons for. I do well buying only what is on sale and on my list. Why the gas cards? Well, I got $50 worth of gas for $40...plus to submit for the Kraft Rebate your receipt must be $50+ after coupons...My totals are usually well under $50.
I did buy milk and bread elsewhere today...Bruno's for the $1.99 milk. I bought bread at the EarthGrains Outlet for .99.
Exactly the same bread you buy at the grocery store--and just as fresh!!!

My Publix Savings 7/6/09



Order Total $9.76
Sales Tax $5.10
Grand Total $14.86
Saved $91.43

WHAT'S IN THE CART?
5- 18 lb bags of Kingsford
Used 5-$4 Kingsford coupons So, I paid $2.99 for each bag--A GREAT deal!!!!
5-Glad Flex Straws
5-packs of pork chops
2-pork roasts
1- pack of ground beef and pork for meatloaf
$6 of Boars Head Ham
Used 5- $6 off The Other White Meat Coupon FREE Meat!!!!
1- Digiorno for One
Used 1- Free coupon
1- 6 oz yogurt
Used 1- Free Coupon
Bananas
1/2 loaf of Multi Grain bread
Used 1- $1 off Bakery item in ad
Used $5/30 Competitor coupon and $5/30 Publix coupon

This shopping trip included my FAVORITE Publix deal!!! "The Other White Meat" Coupon is a high dollar coupon--$6!. I use it to purchase all of my pork--lots of pork chops folks!!! You buy Kingsford charcoal (18 lbs. bag), one other qualifying product from the list on the coupon, and at least $6 worth of pork-- "the other white meat".

So I buy:
18 lb bag of Kingsford (regular price 9.99, sale price 6.99 through Tuesday--usually on sale during holidays)
1 pack of Glad straws (.59)
$6 of pork (pork chops, bacon, ham, pork hotdogs, pork roast, pork ribs, etc...) PORK folks and $6 of it!

You could use this manufacturer coupon at any store--However, I am a fan of the Publix meat dept. Also, the charcoal is a fair price here. Good when it is on sale. And GREAT when it is on sale AND you have a charcoal coupon too!!!

Publix Ad 7/8

The new Publix ad is up for review!!! Go to I HEART PUBLIX. Remember your BEST deals will be B1G1s that you have coupons for. Matching up will now begin! :)
I am really tempted with the $10 off the Purchase of a $50 Gas Card --BP Or Shell, This will be an in ad coupon.

CVS UPDATE:
So here are my results--I spent $2.85 out of pocket for the below(which was really my tax). Remember I have been doing this a couple of months. I did have CVS ECBs to use. I used those to pay($20) and got back $18 ECBs. This is also referred to as rolling your ECBs. You will come out a little out of pocket your first trip--but after that use those ECBs to buy other things that produce more ECBs the next week. I had to change a couple things on the list once I got in there because they did not have certain things. :) The Hefty bags were FREE--I found a blinkie machine at a Bruno's that had $1 coupons awhile back. These bags were located in the dollar section (NOTE:Not all CVS stores have a dollar section).



3-Post Trail Mix Crunch, 3/$10

Hope you all had a GREAT 4th! I am eager to return to do a little "cvsing" today. This is another way I get free stuff.
Pay for toothpaste? Never again! We have a 12 month supply now--at least 4 months of shampoo, razors, etc...Again, on some purchases I use coupons--other items are just free(after register rewards print, which is store money you can use to pay for your next purchase)! You get Register Rewards by buying certain items that are on sale that week--and they print on your receipt after you pay.

If you do not have a CVS card--just get one for you and your husband/wife. Walgreens has a similar program but no card is required. I shop both stores when I can get FREE stuff.

Money Saving Madness does a good matchup for this week at CVS.
Happy Shopping!

My Favorite Publix Sites and Matchups for 7/1-7/7

Here is a peek at a couple of my favorite Publix coupon sites and what they matchup for 7/1-7/7:

The site below is usually one of the first sites to get the Publix ad up(Monday usually). I like to find the future ads and match up throughout the week (and request coupons from manufacturers when there is time). She also does a separate post on her SUPER deals.

I Heart Publix

I like the next site because you can print a list here...I also am a big fan of their "HOT" buttons. They help me to find the BEST deals.

Publix 4 Pennies

I like this site strictly because it shows the percentage of savings. This post is for this weeks ad starting July 1.

Fiddledeedee

You are sure to find your own favorites too. :)


I have been asked HOW MUCH TIME DO YOU SPEND DOING THIS--GETTING ORGANIZED FOR A TRIP TO THE GROCERY???. Seriously, I am a little OCD and pretty organized--BUT keep in mind that I do have TWO toddlers--I work on it when I feel like it at night or down time during the day--10-20 minutes here and there.
By shopping day, I am ready--list printed(off Publix), coupons being used on that trip in an envelope. Ready.

Kraft Coupons for Publix

Click HERE to find the Kraft Coupons to be redeemed at Publix. According to corporate, these retailer coupons are just like manufacturer coupons. So you could use one of these and stack with a store/competitor coupon. A lot of this stuff has been either B1G1/on sale lately. You should see the amount of Kraft BBQ sauce, cheese in the freezer, etc... that we have! I try and buy as much as I can(have coupons for) when something goes on sale(stockpile)--that way I have enough to hold us over until the next sale.

Here is another HOT source of coupons right now-Nabisco

This gives you an idea of what my past Publix purchases have looked like--My all time best receipt was mailed off in a mail in rebate (saving $145, spending $20) so it's not included.

Grand Opening of Fairhope Publix 7/1/09

So I usually shop Publix once a week...My target is to spend no more than $30, preferably $20. We have a good selection and a nice stockpile in our pantry.


Here are the results from my 7/1 trip:



4 Bounty Paper Towels Rolls
2 75ft. Reynolds Wrap (free die cast car w/ Reynolds MIR HERE)
1 box Wheat Thins
1 box Triscut
2 packages of Jennie O turkey burgers
1 whole chicken
4 Skippy peanut butter
4 cans of Bush's Baked Beans
1 gallon milk
2 boxes Phil. Cream Cheese
2 Cool Whip tubs
1 box Ziploc bags
1/2 loaf Wheat Italian bread (super yummy!)
10 ears of yellow corn
2 Hershey Syrup
1.81 lbs bananas
1 reusable shopping bag

Order Total $17.41
Tax $3.03
GRAND TOTAL $20.44
Saved $61. 17

This was a small trip for me. I was unsure how the new Publix would be with coupons so I went light.

!!!!Make sure to clip the coupon for $5 off WYB $30 in today's Bruno's ad--in the Mobile Press Register!!!

Welcome!

So maybe this is long overdue...I have been shopping Publix for a couple of months now. And have been saving A LOT. Publix--Saving? Yes, you read right. I can hear the unasked question when I tell people that I went to Publix and spent $20 and saved $145(my best trip)--So, WHAT DID YOU BUY??? This blog is that visual!

My Publix Savings is strictly to showcase my buys--maybe a little brag blog if you will. I hit a couple of sites to confirm my match ups. I will share those sites here. Along with other frugal sites that I follow closely.
Enjoy!
FYI-The Fairhope Publix DOES take Target coupons. Items do ring up 1/2, 1/2. And Debbie the manager is SUPER nice!

PUBLIX Coupon Pointers:

Some of your best deals are B1G1s! Especially when you have coupons. You can use one manufacturer coupon per item and "stack" it with one store(PUBLIX)/competitor(Target, etc...) coupon. So on a B1G1, where you are really buying 2--you can use up to 4 coupons on those 2 items! BIG SAVINGS!
B1G1 items usually ring up 1/2 price, 1/2 price on the two items.

I have found Target has some of the BEST competitor coupons--You can find them at Hot Coupon World, click on Target and print.

When matching up my coupons these are my favorite sites:
Publix 4 Pennies
I Heart Publix
I Love Publix
*These blogs are not in our area--so deals/coupon match up may be slightly different. Coupons may differ in other regions.

PUBLIX offers ads online along with a printable grocery list.

Where do I find my coupons?
Manufacturer coupons mostly come from Sunday papers, magazines, mailings, and the internet(also called IPs).
Here are good sites for internet printables:
Red Plum
Smart Source
Coupons.com

Always check the manufacturer's websites too! Like this is a HOT one now-Nabisco

Publix coupons-mailing and booklets
Target coupons- mailing, newspaper, Hot Coupon World
