Publix Trip 7/31 ~ Spent $130.49, Saved $$202.18 ~ 61% Savings!

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


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


Here's what all we got:







Abbreviations:


SS - Smart Source (Sunday paper Insert), RP - Red Plum (Sunday Paper Insert), MQ - Manufacturer Coupon, IP-Internet Printable 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!



We did 1 big transaction and they let me use (3) $3/$30 Publix Recyclebank Q, and (2) $3/$50 Publix Recyclebank Q! My total before coupons was over $200. I did not know they would let me use all of them, but it never hurts to ask! ;-)  Here is the breakdown for ya:
