Nature's Bounty Supplement Printable Coupon

Today was a terrific day for us shopping at Publix! I was a little concerned about the availability of some of our moneymaker items, such as the Nature’s Bounty, Sundown Naturals and Gas-X items, so we decided to get up early and hit the stores in the first few hours they were open today. Surprisingly, even by the time we got to our third store about 9 am, the shelves were full of goodies for us to buy. Because the Green Advantage Flyer moneymaker deals run for a few weeks, we decided to limit ourselves to just a couple of each identical item at each store.

We did a total of six transactions and we showed the tiniest of profits: $0.67 (or only $0.08 if you deduct the tax we paid.) The roommate and I are going to jump on the low-carb diet for a month or two, so I had to devise a plan to score us some cheap or free produce and eggs. We are in very good shape in the meat department, but I couldn’t avoid buying some boneless skinless chicken breast at $1.99/lb. Our refrigerator and freezer is packed with shredded cheese and blocks of cheese, so we won’t need to buy any at any point in the near future, even though we will be eating it like mice!

You will notice that there are some items that are not low-carb friendly….we are not eating those, at least now. Most will be given away to friends and family, but the Tostitos chips and dips are for Superbowl Sunday, when we’ll be pigging out for one day only.

*** Note: I asked customer service about this coupon in advance. It is definitely a borderline issue, as the product has Vicks, so it is a Vicks product…but it’s a Puffs product, so maybe it’s not. It really depends on your store’s decision. The coupon will beep, so it’s probably best that you just ask in advance.
