I had a great trip to Publix today! I was unsure about whether or not my Publix would consider that $5/$15 Personal Care Purchase Target printable coupon to be a “total purchase” coupon or a store coupon on the items themselves. When I asked, they ruled that it was a “total purchase” coupon. I had to shuffle things around a bit, but I found a way to make it all work out. I ended up doing a gas card deal in one of the transactions instead and I had to add some Maybelline Eye Pencils to get up to $50 for that order. Because the gas was going to be purchased anyways, the gas card savings are attributed to the grocery purchase below. That means there’s an extra $10 of savings beyond what is listed with the individual items.
Oh…in case you’re wondering why there isn’t much “real food” in here…we ended up with most of the leftovers from Stephanie’s boyfriend’s company picnic. There just isn’t much need for anything that isn’t free right now.
Stephanie accompanied me on the trip, so that’s why we were able to use two of each Target store coupon without violating coupon terms. Here’s what we bought, along with the coupons used:
