I had an AWESOME Publix trip today. This trip was done over two trips, because I actually rode my bike to Publix this morning and was using a backpack. (I have TWO Publix stores five blocks from my house…I’m a lucky guy.)
One of my transactions was over $50 before coupons, so I used the $10 off a $50 Visa Gift Card coupon when you buy $50 of groceries Publix store coupon in the Health & Beauty Advantage Flyer. The $50 gift card costs $54.95 to purchase because of the activation fee, so after the $10 coupon I paid $44.95. That’s a nice $5.05 profit that is carried down to the final stats for this trip at the bottom of this post.
Also worth mentioning…my store is one of the stores that does not carry the French’s Spicy or French’s Sweet Mustard. I had to buy four “Classic Yellow” ones and I didn’t have the correct coupons with me. Luckily, I was heading back for a second round so I picked up the coupons in between the trips and had Customer Service reimburse me for my two $0.50/1 coupons when I returned to the store.
Here’s what I bought, along with the coupons used:
FOUR HELLMANN’S SQUEEZE MAYO 20 OZ, on sale BOGO $4.99

For those of you wondering, there was also $1.59 of sales tax not accounted for in the statistics above, so my total cost was $2.89 for everything including the tax.
In case you’re wondering, there’s no picture of this haul because we lost the original image while moving the site to a new server some time ago.
