Publix Shopping Trip 5/2 Spent $130.87 & Saved $176.27 -- 57% Savings!



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

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


*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!
  • Be sure to check Southern Savers & I Heart Publix
    for complete Ad matchup's with direct links to the printable coupons mentioned below!
