It was a great day to shop at Publix! I ended up spending much less than I anticipated. And, I was able to get some fruit and veggies for the new juicer I just got. I haven’t tried my juicer yet (I’m scared :)) but I’m excited to try out some recipes for fresh juice! **If you have a juicer, I would love it if you would leave some juicing tips and recipes! I was able to score some great deals thanks to a lot of store and manufacturer coupon matchups. My major challenge for the day today was paying attention to sizes on the coupons. For example, the Free Kraft Macaroni & Cheese coupons only covered the 7.25 oz sized boxes of the Kraft Mac & Cheese on sale BOGO. Most of the Kraft Mac & Cheese on sale were smaller boxes. This happened for a couple of other deals I took advantage of so my message to all of you is to really read your coupons to make sure they work on the items you are buying. If they don’t work, the store will not be reimbursed for them.

Sara Logan says
Awesome savings!!!! I love juicing carrots and grapes together SO GOOD
Brenda says
Don’t feel bad about the Kashi. I tried to do the exact scenario you mentioned, and the cashier pointed out the $1/2 Publix Q from Greenwise isn’t able to be used until April 1st. Maybe we can find another good use for it in April. Love your website, Liza!
Charlotte says
my favorite juice combo is 2 apples, 2 oranges, 2 large carrots (or several smaller ones) 1/2 to 1 lemon and a 1″ or so knob of ginger. I usually peel off most of the lemon rind with a knife, I core the apples and peel the skin off the ginger. Throw everything in and yum!
tiffany says
wow what a great haul!
Carol Anne says
Awesome job! I’ll have to go back and do a few of the deals that you did and I missed! 🙂 I like the cover girl one since I really need nail files! I loose those things all the time. I think my purse swallows them.
Doug says
What about the Cure 81 ham posted about earlier? Did Publix not have it?
Jennifer Sullivan-Obrien says
Hey! Love your show and tells! I always look through yours, see what I missed in my thursdays Publix trip and go back, lol…
You asked for juicing recipes, this is my FAV! 4 carrots 2 apples, OMG its awesome! My daughter LOVES it too!
Brittany says
If you like the flavor of real lemonade this is what I do: 2-3 yellow apples (or red) and half of a lemon. It tastes like fresh lemonade without the artificial flavoring or sugar. Peaches and white grapes are also really yummy. I like to juice a pear with any of the other fruit and it tastes yummy.
Chandra Menefee says
Love looking at your shopping trip! Thanks for all the juice recipes!
Ann-Marie says
There is also a $1/1 Publix Q for the Milk Bones. Would have made them free + overage.
Sarah says
Love the photo show & tells! I tried to get 2 of the I can’t believe it’s not butter deals, but cashier pointed out that the .75 off 2 target coupon says limit 1 per customer. 🙁
Diana says
Wow you did awesome! Wish I knew about some of those deals. I need to be better about following your site as well. Since i live in McDonough, GA I mostly go to Southern Savers. But I found out about the ICBINB deal because of you! My Publix accepts Target coupons so I saved even more on the butter, they were a total of $0.80 MM for every 2 I bought. 🙂
