Coupon Boolkets Sighted at Publix

Coupon sightings folks. My hubby and I went to 2 Publix stores yesterday and found 2 different coupon booklets. At the Publix on Brown bridge and Salem road, we found the one with the $55 on it. Go towards the bakery department and you will see it in a school bus display. They have coupons for the Nabisco cookies that are BOGO today.

The second one was at the Publix off 138 across from Rockdale hospitol. Thanks to Cassandra for this one. This can be found in the back of the store straight down the School supplies aisle. I used 5 of the $2 off fresh fruit when you buy 2 eggo waffles coupons to get $10 worth of fruits free lastnight. The Bogo on the waffles will end today as well so this is the time to get it folks.

There is also a rebate form for $10 back when you buy(wyb) 10 kelloggs product. This is a great time to buy

10 waffles, $10 fresh fruits, use 5 coupons and submit your rebate form with the upcs off the boxes. So everything will be free.

Take advantage of this shoppers.

As always, happy shopping.

Staples Awesome Paper Deal - 7-13-09

Good Moringi All,

I hope you all had a great weekend. I was in Savannah with my hubby and two friends this weekend so I did miss out on getting all of my newspaper and some of the CVS deals. I did go to Staples and got some great deals and the $5 off $20 coupon made up for what I missed.

The paper pictured is on sale for $3.69 with a limit of 2 reams. Still awesome and there is a easy rebate of $3.68 on each of them so you will end up paying only 0.01 for each ream.

You will need paper to print your printable coupons, shopping lists etc so please do not let this one pass you by.

They also hace 12 count pencils for .01 each with a limit of 2. I would get 2 on my way out and another 2 on my way in. I actually will be going with the kids today and letting them buy their own :)

The easy rebate can be entered online at www.staples.com just look for the easy rebate section. I usually do mine as soon as I get home because I am not very good at keeping my receipts safe. :)lol.

Please let me know if you have any questions

Awesome Rite Aid Deals - 7/05/09

I went to Rite Aid and CVS today and met my friend Katina for some coupon lessons and she did great. I think she is officially hooked on coupons :) I am currently working on 2 Single Check Rebate (SCR) deals at rite aid and when I am finished I will get back 2 - $25.00 Rite aid gift card by mail. The one I worked o today is offer#61 in the July rebate booklet. These can be found in the stores next to the weekly circular, please keep one handy so you are know what is being offered. There are some great deals.

This requires that you buy $50 worth of specific products and after that you can submit the information online. I bought the Schick Quattro Razors and the kotex liners 20/22 ct today that are a part of the deal. Here are my 2 deals.

Transaction #1
2 - Schick quatro 13.98
1 - Crest Pro health 2.84 $1.84 rebate on this
1 - 5 Kotex liners 5.00 on sale 5 for $5 this week
2 - AJC 4.00

Coupons Used
1 - Quatro Buy One Get One Free Coupons -6.99
1- Quatro 4.00 off coupon -4.00
2 - Kotex coupons I could not print from my other pc's -2.00
1 - rite aid coupon $5 off $25 -5.00

My total was $5.33 plus $1.53 tax
It would have been $3.00 less if I could print my other 3 kotex coupons buy I really cannot complain since it will all end up being free after the rebates.

My second deal was better

4 - Quatros 27.96
2 - bogo q's - 13.98
1 - Rite Aid Q - 5.00

So I have 46.96 towards my $50 requirement. I will see if I can get more Kotex coupons.

Please send me any questions ladies.
As always happy shopping ladies

Publix test trip 7/05/09

I did not go out as early as I usually do today but I still did pretty well. I needed to get some Raid from Publix because I heard they were free and it is summertime so you may have some ants problems like we do living out here in the bushes. I did not get much but wanted my penny item just the same since I was buying something that was 3.89 each.

Here is what I did:
Deli Iced Tea 1.20 BOGO this sale period - I already started drinking it : ) lol
Publix Tortilla Chips 2.59 Penny item
Raid Ants 3.89
Raid Ants 3.89

Coupons used:
1 - Deli item coupon -1.00
2 - Publix Raid coupons -4.00 from the Publix yellow advantage flyer pictured
2 - Manufacturer coupons -4.00 from the smart summer savings flyer pictured
1 - penny item coupon -2.89 from publix ad paper in this weeks AJC

My total was -0.01 and tax was 0.54

Drama
I had 2 bags of rice on the bill as well, which I had coupons for but the computer/register would not take any more coupons. The cashier told me that I now had to have as many coupons as I did items. So I had her take off the rice coupons put on my 2 coupons that I really wanted her to use and then take the 2 bads of rice off, thus I was able to use all of my coupons for what I really wanted.

This is something new I guess so please let me know if you encountered this at your publix. I will go to another publix and see.

Ad always happy shopping ladies
