Okay, since so many people ask about a breakdown of the Publix trip, I grabbed my receipt and typed everything for you. Also, I’ve had a few people that wanted me to explain my shopping trip so here goes:
I always check out the upcoming sales on Mondays. If I see something that I want to buy then I order coupons (ebay, clipping websites, etc), print them or gather them from my binder. (Also, if I need to purchase a large number of one product then I call Publix and have them special order the products. Only do this though for quantities larger than 25) Once that is complete, I make a list of everything that I will be purchasing, how much of each item I want to buy and then I list out the coupons. (It looks very similar to the breakdown below). This helps me because I know how much I should be paying for my groceries and so that I don’t get up being surprised with a $100 bill.
Then I head to the store!! I grab my buggy and start with the produce section and work my way to the freezer section at the opposite side of the store. Once I get my item, I then locate the coupons needed and put them in a separate file in my purse. (This helps me so that I don’t have to go through all the coupons when I’m checking out) Once my buggy is full, I head to the cashier and start checking out. Once all items are scanned I then hand over my coupons!! I usually kindly point out to people behind me that it may me a few minutes if I’m using a ton of coupons. Usually everyone is very nice and most even like to stay in line behind me to see how much a save.
