I have been asked so many times to show people how to coupon however I just don’t have the time to sit down one on one with that many people. Well, I have a friend that wanted to see couponing in action. She didn’t want to do it but just wanted to go with me and learn by watching. Well, it couldn’t have worked out better because I got those great Earthfare coupons and it fell in the same week as the gas card deal. I have two separate Publix stores that accept Earthfare so my and my friend went to both stores and did a transaction each today. We had a blast and she got to see how to use coupons and come home with a ton of stuff! We each did a transaction at both stores so we were able to use an Earthfare coupon and a gas card coupon on each transaction because my stores do not count the gas card coupon as a total purchase coupon. However, since I would have spent $50 in gas anyways those savings are applied to my grocery bill. I will break these up into transactions in case you would like to copy them but I will grand total everything at the bottom.
