Publix Trip 11/8/12

Here's a trip I put together to pick up supplies for my hubby's birthday party, so there are several items I don't have coupons for, but I still managed to save $114.98 spending only $88.55 for over $200 worth of groceries. That's still over a 56% savings!

Here's how I did it!

 I may have a pizza problem - Publix Trip 10/5

First off, $49.10 for $124.36 in groceries!

Second of all, Yay!! Pizza! I'm not usually one for frozen pizza. It's just not my cup of tea, but Freschetta is different. We love Freschetta pizzas in our house. I usually just get the plain cheese and dress it up with fresh onions, mushrooms, etc... Anyway the pizzas were $5.00 ea and I had a MQ for $1.50/2 (SS 9/30 or printable) and 2 SQ $1/1 ((Target coupon) printable). That made the pizzas $3.25ea (way cheaper than delivery!). They usually go for about $6.85ea. I also had a few money makers in this trip!

Here are the details:

Publix Trip 9/25

One of the most common questions I get when I teach my coupon classes is "So how much time do you spend planning a trip?" Tonight, I timed myself and from planning, printing, clipping, driving, shopping, checking out, loading, driving and unloading, it took me an hour and a half, TOTAL. Now, I know this isn't a huge trip, but since I started couponing, most of my trips are small fill-in, stock-up trips. I generally don't need to make huge trips. I will also say (as I have said before) I get the majority of my produce from my local farmers market and local produce stand, it's way cheaper. (BTW, I know there is an abnormal amount of coffee creamer in this trip, but we go though it like water, don't judge us....)

Anyway, I got all of the above (full retail value $89.67) for $37.30! That's over 58%! I'm happy with that!

Here is how I did it (keep in mind, some of these sales end 9/26):

Winn Dixie Trip 9/21

I did a small trip to Winn Dixie today, not my favorite place to shop, but I saw a few deals that I thought were pretty good. Overall, not a great trip in the "crazy" couponing world, but in my world, saving is saving regardless of how big or small! I still managed to save over half!

Birthday Cookout Shopping Trip!

Ok, so here is a trip that I put together very quickly on Saturday night to prepare for my sweet little Moose's 3rd Birthday Party on Sunday. Talk about last minute... Anyway, I did get some good deals, but there were a lot of things that I didn't have coupons for and they weren't on sale. This was not a great trip by any means, but I still saved over $70.00. I could have gotten some better deals on the sodas (at Walmart) but for the ease of only making one trip and not having to step foot in Walmart, I made the sacrifice. :)

 Stocking UP!

Posted 7/14/12

      

Here's a stock up trip I did today. It has been quite a while since I made a trip and I was out of a lot of stuff. There are a few good deals, a few really good deals and even a money maker... My favortie, of course!

I did manage to save 66% so I feel like that's a successful trip! (I do need to go back and bring $8 in coupons that I forgot, so that percentage will be even higher!) Especially since there are some things that didn't have coupons.

Here's how I did it...
