Publix Trip Details

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.

Publix Trip Details!

Okay, so before you take a look at all the stuff, please remember that I don't shop like this every week. This trip was very EXTREME and most of my trips look nothing like this. I just wanted to show you all how much you could get and how much you can save. ( My weekly trips usually involve smaller quantities and fewer coupons) Everything that I bought, my family will use and we are also going to give most of it away. (If you know of a local family who is struggling and would love to have some groceries, please email me and I can take them some stuff or will be glad to meet you somewhere) Always remember that if you can get items FREE or even better if you can be paid to buy the items then grab them and donate to those in need. My family feels like God has blessed us so much and we love that he is my couponing classes and even shopping trips to bless others as well. He has given us so much and we are forever grateful!

Okay, so on to the trip!

Here are the items I purchased:

2 Bags of Shredded Cheese (Not Pictured)
