End of the cycle shopping

Wednesdays are when I try to get in my last minute sale shopping done. My Publix sale cycle starts on Thursdays so when Wednesday comes around I am ready to shop the rest or get rain checks. Today also marked the expiration of the all the P&G coupons and a GREAT Find of a coupon BOGO Nature's Path Cereal!! My husbands favorite. At $5.69 a box it is not cheap and when it is I STOCK UP!!! I also had another $5/$30 Publix coupon that expired today.

You never know what the mail man will bring!

Many times I sign up for stuff and never remember or keep track of what offer or when...
SURPRISE... Look what I got in the mail!

All for $40!!! And I did it with 2 kids in tow! PHEW what a great trip!

I had 2 kids with me today i debated whether to venture out and take advantage of the Publix $5/$30 and the $5/$50 Albertson's coupon I had! What a great trip.

I noticed at the particular Publix there were Airborn products on clearance for $0.25. And to my wonderful surprise there is a $2 off ANY Airborne product Making each one I bought a $1.75 MONEY MAKER! Armed with my money making coupons I was off!

Here is a picture of what I got I only had coupons for the Airborne, the Method Dish Soap (Raincheck of $2.50 sale price), and the Albertsons and Publix $/$$ coupons. Every thing else I paid full or sale price for! Here is a break down of what I got.

10 Method Dish Soap (Rain Check) $2.50ea
Used $1 Method Item (Whole Foods) and $1.50 Method Manufacturer coupon FREE

12 Airborne Clearance Price $.25ea
Used $2 off ANY Airborne found in SS 1/08 $1.75 MONEY MAKER of $22.75

Watermelon $2.46
Badia Cinnamon Sticks $0.79
Badia Star Anis $0.79
4 Conchita Red Beans @$.85
2 BOGO Arnold Bread @ $2.79

6 Rice Dream @2.50 each

 publix milk $2.55
With out coupons (airborne and method) Total Price would have been $70 and I would only be able to use 1 $/$$ coupon saving me $5 and bringing my total to $65

By cashing in on my raincheck method soap and getting the airborne my total was high enough to add the other $5 off coupon and Cash in on the airborne overage! End price for it all $40! I think that was a success! $40 Would have only gotten me the 6 Rice Milk,  6 Jars of Pasta, 2 Loaves of Bread, 1 better than boullion, 1 cantelope, 1 strawberrry jam!

Love the power of coupons!
