Photo Show and Tell – Publix 1/29/10

So, yesterday (Friday) was the last day of Publix’s Green Advantage Buys for the month of January.  I had a few coupons left to use so I was determined to use each and every one of them and get as much overage as possible.  (Especially since I have received numerous emails and messages about local Publix stores discontinuing overage.)  Since I have a HUGE stockpile at home, and since I don’t really need anything, my goal was to  come out of pocket as little as possible and to only buy food that the overage would cover.  (If you don’t know what overage is, read my post Here)  I had to go to two Publix stores – both within a 5 mile radius – in order to use up all of my remaining coupons.  My Photo Show and Tell above shows all of the items I bought at both stores.  Then, underneath, I show the receipts for each store.  It’s a bit hard to read, but on my first transaction I spent $1.24 (5 cents before tax) and saved $103.83.  The craziest thing about my first transaction is that my cashier literally couldn’t use all of my coupons so he handed them back to me (I used them at the second store to buy more items).  This was a definite first.  On my second transaction, I spent $1.69 and saved $42.29.  In total, I spent $2.93 on $149.05 worth of groceries!
