My week of couponing June 7-12

Publix.

Well I kind of went over my budget this week so I am going to have to really be good the next couple weeks. (it would be nice if there were no HUGE deals!!! ha ha) I honestly paid too much for some things because I was desperate even though I didn't have coupons... I gotta be better about that)

Here's what I got

Publix:

4 cases of coke products (B3G1 sale, used a B2G1 Dr pepper coupon as well as (2) .60 off coupons)

So basically I got those 12 packs for $1.74 a piece! YAY!!!

And for those of you that asked.. you should be able to add comments without registering now! So comment away :)

Publix this week

Well this week went pretty well. Had a cashier that was a little uncooperative (a first for my Publix) She laid out all of my coupons and then as she scanned each item she READ and scanned the coupon to go with it.. Took over 20 minutes to check me out. Kind of annoying. And then she would second guess a lot of them.. even though I knew she should take them. But I convinced her MOST of the time to take it.

Spent $43.40 Would have cost $136.70!!! Not bad! That's 68% savings!!

(Minus the $5 rebate I am now eligible for!!)Keep in mind those razors usually cost around $10 a piece :) The toy wasn't on sale, but I basically got it free because I had target gift cards left and chose to get something for Henry and Isaac since I had to drag them along with me to many of the trips.
