Using $5 off coupons...

I used one Rite Aid $5/25 coupon and one Publix $5/50 coupon(asked permission to use OB coupon). My order total was over the $75 that I was required to have to use both coupons. You will want to hand those coupons to the cashier before any other coupons. I added a link to $5 off coupons on the right sidebar. You can use one competitor and one Publix coupon at the Fairhope location.


*Charcoal deal items

Today's trip really surprised me. There just was not a whole lot of B1G1 or sales items that I REALLY wanted...but there was 1 thing that stuck out to me...Kingsford Matchlight. I have been holding 5-$4 coupons for Kingsford(exp8/31) for a couple weeks now. I was thinking Labor Day would be the next big sale on charcoal. But there are no guarantees and I decided not to try my luck. I purchased the charcoal today at the sale price of $7.99.

This is the information that you need to successfully do a charcoal deal yourself.
You must purchase the following three items each time you want to do this deal:
1. Kingsford Charcoal or MatchLight (13.5 lb bag or larger)
I purchased $4 off Kingsford coupons a while back off of Ebay. However, even without those coupons you can get a good deal. The bags at the Fairhope location have $1 peelie coupon on them.
2. One of the qualifying items(on the coupon)...Today I purchased KFC BBQ sauce and GLAD straws. Glad straws are the cheapest item at 0.59.
3. $6 in pork. Today I purchased $30+ in pork because I worked this deal 5 times.
I use I HEART PUBLIX for the link to the pork coupon while the Gather Round the Grill site is under construction. GO HERE FOR THE $6 PORK COUPON. Scroll down to the Kingsford matchups.

Using Walgreen's Register Rewards to Pay:
REMEMBER you can use Walgreen's Register Rewards to pay. Posted a pic below. You can only use 1 RR per Retailer. Today, I had three Register Rewards from three different Retailers that I was allowed to use.

Do you go to the Publix in Fairhope? I was told you cannot use register rewards at that one?

As of last week I was able to use Register Rewards in Fairhope...but if the trend continues along the lines of what I have witnessed over this past week...you may not be able to use them this week. It is always best to ask at the customer service counter first.
I know how frustrating it can be to have all coupons ready to go at register..only to be told that TODAY they are not accepting those coupons in particular...
Can you tell that I had a bad Publix experience this weekend?!?!(at another Publix). :)
