Grocery Store Deals

I shopped Sunday and wasn’t going to post the trip because the printables are long gone and the sale week is almost over, but I decided to share it because it’s probably going to be my last Publix (barring a coupon miracle) using a Winn Dixie $5/$40 coupon.  Those of you who completed the Winn Dixie register-receipt surveys to get a printable $5/$40 coupon that could be used at Publix have no doubt become aware that the coupon is no longer printable but can only be activated as a Winn Dixie digital coupon.  Unless Winn Dixie reverts to the printable version, I will no longer have those to use at Publix.  Sad times for us (but Publix will want to throw a parade).

Nevertheless, life goes on.  I’ll miss the extra savings, but it’ll be easier to shop now that I will no longer feel compelled to organize my shopping into $40 transactions.

As always, cashback rebates vary (in kind and value) by account.  Some cashback offers I used may no longer be available to activate and some printable coupons may no longer be available to print when you read this post.

I told Steve the other day that I would probably only run into Publix for the Arla cream cheese and a package of Quilted Northern.  Wasn’t I wrong!  As it turns out, my father just got a new credit card because it pays a $150 bonus if you put $500 on the card in the first three months, so on his behalf, I took advantage of the gas card coupon in this week’s Publix ad.  The coupon is for $10 off a $50 gas card when you spend $50 in groceries.   The stores in my area allow customers to get a gas card for every $50 in groceries in a single transaction, so I am able to get three gas cards in one trip if I start out with $150 in purchases.  I consider the gas card deal to be a discount on the groceries since we all need to buy gas anyway, so an extra $30 discount is factored into the trip tally in addition to the individual discounts listed below.

The Huggies deal was made sweeter by an unexpected price cut on the Snug & Dry diapers (they are now $8.99, down from $9.49 just a couple weeks ago).  Add in the $9 off 3 sale price, the $2/1 manufacturer’s printables, and the $2/1 Publix coupon, and I have more diapers for my niece (due in April) for only $1.99 per jumbo pack!

As always, cashback offers vary (in kind and value) by account.  Some of the coupons (printable and digital) I used may no longer be available when you read this, and some cashback offers may no longer be available to activate.
