Wondering how I get my Percentage Saved? I use the following equation:
Total Savings / (Total Spent + Total Savings) = % Saved
I did 2 transactions and used 2 $5/$25 competitor Winn-Dixie IP Q HERE !
Abbreviations:
SS - Smart Source (Sunday paper Insert), RP - Red Plum (Sunday Paper Insert), GM - General Mills (Sunday Paper Insert), IP - Internet Printable,
MQ - Manufacturer Coupon, WYB - When You Buy, NLA - No Longer Available
*Things to remember when shopping PUBLIX (Northport, AL):
- When and item is Bogo, you DO NOT have to buy 2, they are 1/2 price.
- You CAN use one MQ plus one STORE coupon per item.
- Publix doubles MQ up to and including $.50!
Here are the pics:

Wow! You did a great job! I've got to start paying more attention! I've kind of let my couponing lapse a bit in the last couple of months and my inattention is definitely showing up in my budget!
ReplyDeleteThanks...Sometimes you have to take a break, or I do at least...Only a couple weeks or so though, and don't stop getting your Sunday paper inserts. Get them every week even if you aren't planning on shopping soon. Thanks for stopping by :-)
