Wondering how I get my Percentage Saved? I use the following equation:
Total Savings / (Total Spent + Total Savings) = % Saved
Hello stranger!! I know that it has been a while since I posted a break-down of my weekly Publix trip, and I apologize to those of you who have been missing it! I have been busy with...well...life! I had a moment to break this one down for you and I hope that it will be a tool to help you figure out how all this couponing stuff works to give you less out of your pocket!!
First of all, I shop Publix in AL. My store policy may differ from yours, so you have to find out what store's your Publix considers a competitor. You should also find out if the double man. q's up to $.50.
Here are a few reminders about 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!

I was very happy with the overage items to get my total down! I am using the covergirl items from my past trips and in future trips to build baskets for girls/women for Christmas (or to donate...haven't decided yet.) Also I am saving my receipts for the $5 School the Nation Rebate Here:
I plan on adding ketchup, dressing, Covergirl items, panty liners, and vitamins to the donation box! Always Give what you can to others who are in need! That's probably my favorite thing about couponing is being able to help others! I hope that this post helps you in some way! If you have any questions, please leave a comment. Thanks. I hope you all have a blessed week! =)
