My Publix Trip - Paid $2, Saved $64

I was planning on waiting to do my trips on the weekend so I could get a couple gas cards, but I wanted to get some prices for some items. I got mostly the salad stuff plus some of the items which had Target coupons and limited me to two per trip. Also I wanted to see if the Spring Savings booklets are out yet (which they are not in Temple Terrace) even though I have the printed coupons. The stores are getting strict now in anticipation of the new coupon policy updates coming in April and they are reading all the small print. I'm going to plan to do all my gas cards as $50 trips with two transactions so I already have them divided up correctly at the register instead of them telling me I can only get one gas card per order and then having to divide my $100 order into two.
 
I've read on the internet that the new coupon policy starting April 1st at Publix just clarifies their rules, but also states that Rainchecks will no longer extend the life of coupons. No expired coupons will be accepted, even with Rainchecks. That means one of our best strategies to get MM deals after the sale will be over. I anticipate they won't get more of items so we can all use our coupons in the time period so it may mean buying the item full price before the sale, and just return it and repurchase during the sale period, therefore assuring that you get the items instead of finding empty shelves. I know I'll continue to nuture relationships with the stocker guys who order the products and they can keep them in back for me until I shop. That's the only way I got any Poise during that deal. I also intend to contact corporate when stores are consistently out of an item during a sale therefore making our coupons worthless. I think its bullshit when they say the warehouse is out, but the day after the sale is over they have stock again. Anyway, enough of my rant. We'll all adjust and reminisce how good it used to be. 
 
So I paid $2 and saved $64.91.
