I had a pretty nice trip to Publix today. I used my BOGO Pretzel Crisps coupons that were about to expire, plus I picked up free hummus and dirt cheap guacamole. We had no mustard left in our stockpile, other than the fraction of a bottle in the refrigerator, so I was relieved to see this week’s BOGO sale. I used one $5 off $40 Publix coupon from the 5/19 St. Petersburg Tribune newspaper (my local version of the Tampa Tribune), so there’s an extra $5 of savings beyond what is listed with the items below.

Here is what I bought, along with the coupons used:

I made it to Publix today before the sale ended. It has been a while since I have been and man I forgot the high that I get when I check out just watching the total fall! I felt like a newbie all over again. The adrenaline gets to pumping, my face gets red, and then the final total pops up and I feel like I am going to explode. Man I missed that feeling! The only thing they didn’t have today that I really wanted was the Suddenly Salad Ranch but I got a raincheck (I am surprised I even remembered to get it!)

 I made a quick stop into Publix today to get some stuff to make dinner tonight, and a few snacks for the week. Usually we get out meat at Costco because they have better deals on organic meats than Publix but last time we went they didn’t have any organic meat. With our stockpile running low I decided that turkey burgers would be a good option for dinner because we haven’t had any in a long time. I had a feeling that if I used the Sabra coupon today it would be BOGO next week (the coupon expires on Thursday) and of course as soon as I get home from Publix the Weekly Ad was up at I Heart Publix and it will be BOGO next week. So if you were lucky enough to get one save it!

I had an awesome trip to Publix today! This was the first time in a long time I have been excited about going to shop. I took a friend with me to the store today and we both did two transactions. We actually exited the store and re-entered so we could be on a “new visit” to comply with the terms on the Winn-Dixie competitor coupons.

We used four $5 off $30 Winn-Dixie competitor coupons, plus one of our orders qualified for the $10 “Running Out. Run In.” rebate. (Look for a display in your store with the Running Out coupons and rebate forms.) Between the Winn-Dixie coupons and the rebate there’s an additional $30 of savings beyond what is listed with the items below.

Here is what we bought, along with the coupons used:
