Publix- My Essentials Rebate Trip

I've been on the lookout for the new "Get More from Your Essentials" coupon booklet with $10 rebate wyb $30 of product in one trip. I was able to get a few from customer service at two stores, but the other stores were out already. So, if you haven't found it yet, you may be out of luck. Anyway, I did one trip using some competitor coupons from Sweetbay and Target and the store allowed multiple competitor coupons per transaction. This is not always the case and you need to plan your trips depending on the policy enforced by the different store managers.

 

I bought 4 toilet paper and 4 pinesol to meet the requirements of the rebate. The other items were simply to bring up my total to $50 so I could use a $5 off $50 PQ. I also threw in four of the Sweetbay $2/2 any purchase coupons that I had from the free spanish paper last week. So to qualify for the rebate I purchased $31.92. The rebate is valid 10/13-11/9 and states "Limit maximum (2) gift card per person, per mailing address."

 

In the end, I spent $1.65, saving $63.75. And I will get a $10 rebate.

My Publix Trip - Paid $0.79, Saved $47

This week there are a few things I want to get, but don't really need so its a matter of space. This shop was pretty small, just the salad stuff so we can make our lunches for next week. But later I'll probably get some of the Farm Rich frozen snacks for munching on Friday nights around the fire.

 

I happened to luck out on getting the newer coupons that are out there - The Winn Dixie Moments made Possible Through Early Detection is out in the stores in Tampa, right inside the door next to the regular ad. This has plenty of P&G coupons to stack with the MQs that are coming out this weekend. However, if your store reads the terms carefully, you'll be limited to 1 WD coupon per transaction, so you'll have to mix up your brands. Plan your scenarios now for the P&G pink cookware rebate (Spend $30 on one receipt starting 9/30/12). I'm planning on getting some hair color that is on sale for the current Yellow Advantage Flyer for another week, and possibly some Cover Girl and Pantene, Olay.

 

I also found the new stocking spree sheet of coupons right by the door at Publix. These have a stacking coupon for Puffs tissues that make it $0.25/box after the new MQ this weekend, plus the PQ. It was also mentioned on Slickdeals that the Surf 100 oz laundry detergent is a good deal with the stocking spree $1/1 PQ stacked with the $1/1 MQ in the 9/30 RP, makes it $1.98 each.

 

Anyway, my shop cost me $0.79 on my Publix GC, and I saved almost $47 - a 98% savings rate.

My Publix Trip - 22 cents

This week there are a couple moneymakers on sale, but I'm afraid they are already gone off the shelves. People have been hungry for deals. But don't despair - just get a raincheck. The Airwick candles and Dove deodorant may not come in stock before the Publix coupons expire but more than likely your store will honor an expired PQ. I put a couple of my scenarios in my list but they have 0 quantity since they were out of stock.

I did the get $25 worth of P&G products (in one transaction) for the Bakeware Rebate, and also a duplicate receipt to get the $10 Rebate wyb $50 of products (which can have multiple receipts). Receive one (1) pink bakeware set from Good Cook's® Hope line which includes 3-Piece Mixing Bowl Set with Covers (6-Piece Total), Hi Temp Spatula, Oven Glove with Silicone Pad, 3-Piece Liquid Measuring Cup Set, Silicone Baking Sheet , and Tin Cookie Sheet when you purchase $25 of Procter & Gamble products in one (1) transaction from Publix. See the bakeware rebate form for all the products and rules.

So, back to my trip. I got some salad stuff and fresh fruit with all my overage from the raincheck on Milk Bones. I have one more raincheck I might save to use next week in case the sales aren't as good. I also got a $10 GC to use additional overage since we are pretty well stocked at home. I would like more Stouffers lasagne that is still on sale, but I don't have any more freezer space. I hate having to buy the 2.5 gallon water containers for my DH, but he insists on it to have fresh water at work. If anyone has any ideas how to wean him off this I would be glad to hear it. My pleas of how un-frugal it is don't seem to matter. 

In case you never scored any of the Take Your Budget By the Horns Publix coupon booklets, you've got another chance. The USF store on Fowler found another box of those little green coupon booklets and is handing them out by request only. So stop by customer service and ask if they have any of "those little green coupon booklets" and they'll happily give you one, if you're sweet and ask nice they'll give you a couple.

Remember the current Green Advantage Flyer expires today with the vitamin deal, and a new Green Advantage Flyer starts Saturday with the $3/3 Dove PQ coupons. Get a few extra since it seems the stores run out of flyers early now that there are more of us couponers around.

Happy Shopping!
