Happy Valentine’s Day Everyone! I am getting the luxury of getting to shop all day and please believe me that is exactly what I want to be doing. I truly get to express my LOVE for couponing by shopping all day. I really do mean that with all seriousness! I ran to Publix this morning and got several things. I didn’t know if I would have enough to actually hit the $50 mark but I blazed right past that with no problems! I was also able to get a $50 Visa Gift Card with $4.95 activation fee but the $10 off coupon will be applied to my groceries for budgeting purposes after I deduct the $4.95 activation fee (so an additional $5.05 in savings!) I got super lucky on a couple of deals. I found Sara Lee Pumpkin Cheesecake on clearance 2/$7.99 and they also rang up 50% off so I got cheesecakes for $1 each! When I got over to the Flintstones Vitamins I also found a great deal because I found a variety that was only $6.21 regular price so after the 25% off they ended up being $4.66 then you factor in my coupons! SWEET! Here is how my trip looks.
