At first glance, my trip to Publix today didn’t appear to have netted me a good savings:
- (2) Oral B Advantage toothbrushes - $2.00
Reg. $3.69/ea.,
- (8) Knorr Side Dishes - $2.60

- (1) Publix milk - $2.49
- (1) Maxwell House coffee - .01¢
Price $3.51, Mystery Coupon $3.50
Publix Coupon - $5.00 off $35.00
My Total Savings:
Regular Price $76.52
Store Coupons* $8.75
Manufacturer’s Coupons $5.65
Advertised Specials $29.52
*Store Coupons include the doubled amount of manufacturer’s coupons
Total Savings $43.92
Order Total $32.60
But after reviewing the numbers, I determined that I did save a total of 57.4% off regular retail prices. About two-thirds of that savings was through store specials and the rest was in coupons.
My 2-day totals - $132.61 in groceries for $50.78! That’s a savings of $81.83, and I only went over my budget by .78¢. I bought a few items that I needed to add to the food that I already have in order to feed me and my roommate for the week, and I stockpiled several things so that I won’t have to buy more of them until they are on sale again.
