The NEW Publix opened today! in Bellview.

So, we had a new Publix open and we all had to go to get all of the FREEBIES!!! Anyway, sherie was cleaning out her coupon book and found that she had 4 coupons expiring on the 10th for Cheerios. And you mom's out there know how much little ones LOVE Cheerios. So, she had to buy them and they are on sale this week BOGO.

So, she got 4 large boxes of Cheerios and 2 packages of baby carrots (for her adult kid's lunch next week).

So, Sherie was able to get herself together yesterday afternoon. And if you know her and her kids, you know this was a feat :) The little one refused to sleep in his bed for nap yesterday and then he didn't like any of the Xbox games or Wii games and WHINED until his brother got up.

So to say she was frazzled when she left is an understatement! She had to turn around twice and go back to the house. Once because she left her list and the other was because she forgot to print her Target Q's.

Anyway, her daughter went with her and they immediately got 2 baskets because they knew they were getting a lot of stuff and would need them.

And here is what they got:

Total order $555.68. Total OOP $241.36.

That is a saving of 57%!!!! The percentage would have been better, but they were out of meat and didn't have time to go to Winn Dixie this week :(

By the way, the Publix at University and Nine Mile ROCKS!!!! They were friendly and helpful and they all LOVE to see people saving money!!!

Elaine's great savings dispite the rule changes!

Elaine went to the Publix on Pine Forest and Nine Mile on Saturday. She was met by the coupon police and told that they will no longer take Target or Food Lion coupons. So, we will no longer be going to this location.

Anyway, she had a good shopping trip, but it would have been better if they would have taken the $10 in coupons that they told her they wouldn't.

Here is what she got:

Total order $215.61. Total OOP $72.61.

That's still a savings of 67%!!!

Sorry you had to go through that girlie!!!

We went to Publix on the corner of Nine Mile Rd and University Pkwy. We had the BEST cashier, bagger, and manager! You should have seen our baskets, it was hilarious! The manager Jeremy came over and unloaded our buggies for us, which was SUPER nice. Becca had the patience of a saint with all of our coupons. And Travis bagged everything up like it was nobody's business. You know sometimes you have baggers that don't think anything about putting heavy things on light things. Travis was SUPER nice to make sure nothing would get smooshed. Becca, Oh my gosh, we can not say enough about her. She is the BEST cashier EVER!!!! She had to stay late to finish my deal up. We were in her line for 49 minutes, no joke! She took her time with each and every item. Jeremy had to stay because we exceeded the number of coupons we could use in one transaction. He had to key in his manager code after every coupon. It looked like him and Becca were doing a beautiful coupon ballet;)

Anyway, it was the best night of shopping EVER!!! Thanks Becca, Travis, and Jeremy!
