Wondering how I get my Percentage Saved? I use the following equation:
Total Savings / (Total Spent + Total Savings) = % Saved
We had an awesome grocery trip today! We got stocked up on a ton of stuff! I'm hoping that I won't have to shop next week! (Fingers crossed...lol!) I use coupons combined with store sales to get huge savings off retail. The great thing about Publix is that they double manufacturer coupons (up to $.50.) They also have several store coupons available that they allow stacking with a manufacturer coupon on one item. They also accept competitor's store coupons which can be stacked with manufacturer coupons, as well! I love Publix, but it may bee better for you to shop at another grocery store and that is completely fine. Know your store's coupon policy. Check your store's sales ad every week and purchase sale items and combine coupons and you will soon be on your way to saving more at the grocery store!
*Things to remember when shopping PUBLIX (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!
