Publix Trip 7/18 - Spent $115.69 Saved $164.70! 59% Savings!

Wondering how I get my Percentage Saved? I use the following equation:

Total Savings / (Total Spent + Total Savings) = % Saved

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 is my receipt:

We are at $256.71 Spending on Food/household items this month. I'm trying to stay under $400. I went a little over the past 2 months so we are doing okay. I'm keeping track of all my household spending for the year and I hope to decrease my monthly spending next year.

We had a great trip today and will be sharing/donating 4 of the coffees this week. I encourage you also to share/donate your abundance. Couponing is a very rewarding thing. God has used our over abundance to bless others and in return continues to bless us!

Have a question or comment?

I'd love to hear it...
