My Publix Trip - Spent $1.67, Saved 97%

I haven't been posting my trips lately because I get distracted as soon as I get home and put the stuff away before thinking of taking a picture. Today is no exception, but at least you can see my list which details out everything. I know I've mentioned that I use the Grocery Tracker app (its free on Google Play store) and I've figured out how to have separate lists for each store. This is critical because each store has different rules about expired PQs and TQs. The last couple weeks have brought a lot of change to the stores I usually shop. One store used to take expired PQs for 30 days and they've eliminated that now. They also cracked down on using more than one TQ because of the wording on the TQ. So, my favorite store has fallen off my list and I haven't been there in weeks. Another store that does take expired PQs mentioned that they don't care how old the PQs are, one lady used a PQ that was three years expired! But that store has also started to limit TQ's to 1 per customer as the wording says.  So, since the Papermate pens moneymaker with the TQ is a big motivator, I've been sticking to the couple stores in the neighborhood that gladly accept 10 TQs per transaction.
 
Anyway, I have a lot of the Sweetbay $5 off $30 to use before they expire Sunday so I'll be making the rounds shopping between remodeling the office and painting the living room. I hope the PQ in the paper this weekend is a good one - I'm hoping for produce or a $5 off $30.
 
I did want to point out again that this weekends Sunday Inserts are pretty good and worthy of buying some extra papers. The Redplum inserts have $1/1 reach toothbrushes which you can stack with the $1/1 reach PQ in the GAB for a moneymaker on Reach toothbrushes. Also there is the $1/1 Reach floss which you can get for $0.87 at Walmart with a small moneymaker there. There are a couple school supplies coupons too - the Bic Write Bros $1/1 means free pencils and the $1/3 Roseart coupon means free stuff too.
 
So here's my shop. I'm going again this evening to get the produce because the store I went to yesterday doesn't have the best produce. I'm bummed I didn't get a lot of shrimp earlier in the week when it was on sale, now I can't really find anything more in the seafood dept that's a good deal with the seafood coupon. But I can use it expired at a couple places so I'll wait for a sale again on shrimp. The Stoneyfield yogurt is a good little moneymaker. You can print 3 coupons from each computer so just go to their website and enter a different email address each time to get the $2/3 coupon.
