Great Deals at Several Stores

I am getting ready to head out of town for a week in the morning (don't worry, husband will be sticking around to catch all of the great deals- oh yeah and work!), but before I left I wanted to grab some of the great deals that were available this week. This is from Publix, a little less than $50, which is fairly expensive for us but this was a lot of stuff. I also got 16 pounds of dog food that didn't make it into this picture to bring home to my mom. Cheese is something that goes super fast in our house, so anytime there is a decent price we try to stock up. We got 8 bags for between $1.50 and $1.75 each. As you know from the blog, the Kraft Fresh Take is something that we really enjoy. We got 8 of those for between $1 and $1.25 each. You can't really see it in the picture, but we also got some imitation crab meat, this looks decent and should make a good salad, they were on sale and with coupon we got them for $1 each, which is good enough to at least try it. The humus was an amazing deal- They are bogo this week and with coupons I got three of them for $1 each and one of them completely free. The temptations were also a fabulous deal. If you haven't tried these yet you should, with coupons we got these for about $1 each. Finally that pack of drumsticks was $3.50, I wasn't going to get it because I had a $1 off coupon that I forgot at home. Fortunately husband was there to keep things in perspective and that it was just a dollar!

Speaking of frozen treats, we got some good deals at Kroger too! The ice cream was on sale and with coupons they were only $1.50 each. We haven't tried these flavors before- chocolate brownie and reese's peanut buter- but they look really good. The popsicles were only 50 cents each after coupons. The onions were also a good deal- 5 pounds for only $2. We also got husband some essentials for while I am out of town.

Lastly, husband made a quick stop at Winn Dixie this morning. I really only shop there for the bogo meat deals. The little hormel pork roasts are a great dinner solution. All you have to do is throw it in the oven for 75 minutes, you don't even have to turn it over! With the sale and a coupon these were only $2.50 each. Pork chops were also on sale bogo, making them around $3 per pack.

I also have to take a moment to praise husband for his increased interest/skill in couponing! As you may have saw husband got a great deal on the dr. pepper drinks last week. He also scored a great deal on some snacks, chips and drinks were only $5!

Why Yes, We Do Enjoy Dr. Pepper!

I can't take credit for this one, this was all husband's couponing find! I asked him to make a stop at Publix and while he was there he found this great deal. Coke products (Dr. Pepper is a Coke product here) were B3G1 free- they were on sale making them 3 for $12 and get one free. There was also a coupon in the Publix Yellow flyer for $3/2 12 packs of Dr. Pepper. I would have thought that they would not let him use it because you are getting one free, but they did:) That meant we got 4 12 packs for $6 or $1.50 each! That is an amazing deal on soft drinks, which is how we wound up with 20 of them:) Husband also found some coupons on pepsi next. They were $1.79 each, b2g1 free and there was a yellow flyer coupon for $1 off, which they also let him use on the free one, plus he found manufacturer's coupons at Publix for $1/3, making them better than free!

We also stopped in at Publix this week for some non caffeinated items:) Pop-tarts were a great deal, on sale for $2 a box and there were 50 cent off 1 coupons, which doubled, that came out this week. That is a really great coupon for pop-tarts since they are usually off 3 boxes. So I got these for $1/box. Trash bags were also a pretty good deal. They were $4, but we had $1.85 off coupons, making them $2.15, not bad for 24 trash bags. The coupon was actually pretty cool, it was a $1.35 off coupon and you got a bonus 50 cents for watching a video. I thought it was going to be long, but it was seriously like 10 seconds. I wish more companies would do things like that. 

BOGO Chicken at Publix

Publix has several buy-one-get-one items each week, but one that they never have is on their meat. Well, that changed this week and I certainly hope it stays that way! This week their chicken (boneless, skinless chicken breasts) are on sale bogo. They are $4.49/lb, but if you buy the larger pack it is $4.29/lb, making it $2.15/lb. That makes it just a little bit more than I generally pay for chicken- $1.79-$1.99/lb. But, it is totally worth it because Publix chicken is delicious. We thought you had to buy two packs, but actually, just like all of their other bogo sales, it really just rings up half price. So, we got almost 10 lbs of chicken for about $20, I am planning to go get a little more before it goes off sale on Wednesday. They also had rice-a-roni bogo this week, making it about 80 cents a box, which is a good price. I can sometimes find it cheaper, but Publix is the only store around here that sells the chicken fajita flavor which is great with our fresh take chicken. The lunch meat was also on sale and made it about $2.15 for the pound. Finally, I got those pans for free after a very long ordeal. They were advertised bogo for $1.99, they would not ring up correctly. After several people checked them, an argument about what was actually advertised, and a manager finally telling them I was correct, they rang them up for bogo $1.99, I had two $1 off coupons, so I got two for free and then they insisted on giving me a free one, which I tried to turn down several times, because it rang up incorrectly. This is why I love Publix, even when they get things wrong, they do everything they can to correct it:)
