Publix Trip Spent $53.64, Saved $156.46 ~ 74% 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)
• MQ - Manufacturer Coupon
•  IP - Printable Coupon
•  WYB - When You Buy
• FAR - Free after rebate
•  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 takes competitor Q's (find out which stores YOUR Publix considers  Competitors)
• Publix doubles MQ, but not STORE q's, up to and including $.50!
• You can do multiple transactions and use (1) $5/$25 Competitor + (1) $/$$ Publix purchase Q per $25 spent! 

I have been feeling a bit under the weather. (I got my wisdom teeth out, then got dry socket!) I did manage to go to Publix this week, but I did not take a pic this time.
