Coupons Found at Publix


I found a few new tearpads at Publix today.

I found a $1/2 or more Publix Deli Kid's Meals coupon to go with the School Lunch Meal that is new to Publix. Exp. 9/30.

$1/5 Easy Mac Cups.

Corona - $10 MIR wyb any produce, meat, chips and/or salsa products. No alcohol purchase required. 1 per household. (This is an easy rebate! Who doesn't buy at least that much in 1 purchase? It's always nice to get paid to buy produce!)

Also, I noticed the new Get a Smart Start for Back To School booklet at the Vaughn/Taylor location, by the deli section. The Beautiful Benefits booklet was noted on an end cap in the health and beauty section, facing the center of the store.

Have you found any other good coupons or booklets? Please, let us know!

Savings Saturday - Free Toothpaste, .50 Milk, Cheap Detergent


This week has been a crazy week. If you noticed I didn't make a menu, that's because by the time I got around to it, there was no need! We have had birthdays galore this week, including mine! Needless to say, I did some stocking up, but not much purchasing for our menu.

Publix:
A few of these items were for dinner. I wanted to do something easy and unfortunately, there wasn't much on sale, but I used coupons where I could. I'm not sure why the free coupons ended up giving me overage? I think the cashier either put in the whole value of the coupon or the register took off the whole value automatically. I've noticed this happening at Target as well.

Sunday Coupon Preview 8/1

This weekend is a great weekend to start couponing!

There will be (4) inserts. You should get (1) P&G, (1) Smartsouce, and (2) Red Plum. I find that in my area, when I am supposed to get 2 Red Plum, they are typically combined into one, so you may get some of the coupons from both in 1 insert.

There are variations by region, so plan on buying the largest paper in your area. If you are unable to get a great paper, there are several alternatives. One that I recently found was Whole Coupon Inserts. I have not personally tried it, but would love to hear some feedback if you have. You can also shop The Coupon Clippers and other clipping sites.
