Publix 4/20 – Profit $0.46 on $13.14 of Merchandise (103.5% Saved)

April 20, 2012 by

Remember how there were a bunch of Carefree on my store’s shelf last night? Well, since it was the last day of the Green Advantage Flyer deal, I stopped into Publix to scoop up some of what was left. My store still had quite a few, but at least one other somebody took a healthy bite out of the stock.

I ended up buying just six so I could pick up some grilling vegetables for free. Here’s what I bought and the coupons used:

SIX CAREFREE LINERS, regular price $1.27
Used six $2/1 Carefree 16-60 ct Publix Green Advantage Flyer coupon
NET PRICE FOR ALL: $4.38 MONEYMAKER!

ONE PACKAGE OF YELLOW SQUASH, on sale $2.23 (regular price $2.92)
No coupons used
NET PRICE: $2.23

ONE PACKAGE OF ZUCCHINI, on sale $1.69 (regular price $2.60)
No coupons used
NET PRICE: $1.69

Total Retail Value of All Merchandise: $13.14
Special Price Savings (Sales/BOGOs): $1.60

    Steve: what part of town do you live in? All the Publix stores in St. Pete Northside area havenet had any since the beginning of the sale. I think they pulled them off the shelves. Bet they will be there tomorrow!!

    Steve, I went to help my grandmother with grocery shopping and teach her how to save yesterday. Her publix in Brandon had the pantiliners, but there was a limit of 2 per person! That’s crazy! 2! Well, sad the deal is over, now we got to find the next moneymaker.

      Wow… two is a pretty harsh limit. I bet that store gets hit hard by couponers. Look at it this way though. If they didn’t have a limit, there might not have been any left for you ;)

    Currently, if you are a Kraft Fresh Taste member, you can sign in and get a $2.00 off 1 jello-pudding coupon. Print 2 and pair it with the $1.00 Publix stocking spree book for a $1.00 mm.

    Steve, can you explain to me how you the carefree pantyliners is a money maker? The liners are $1.27 but your coupon is for a $1.00. Thanks.

      Ooops that’s an error. The Green Advantage Flyer coupon that expired last week was a $2/1. Thanks for pointing that out. I will correct now.
