Publix Savings For This Week. July 15, 2008

Whooo. I am so glad all of my shopping is done for a little while. Being frugal is not an easy job but I will admit I get an adrenaline rush when I see that total due going down and down and down.

Yesterday, I shopped Walgreen's, today I hit CVS and Publix and now I don't have to go shopping for a good 3 to 4 weeks! I also won't have to buy any shampoo or conditioner for a couple months and I won't need any jelly, jam or preserves until 2010! Seriously.

Here's what I picked up at CVS:
(Oop = Out of Pocket) (ECB = Extra Care Buck which is CVS' way of paying you back!)

3-Pack CVS Paper Towels: Retail $1.99 <$1.00 CVS Coupon> My Oop: $.99
1 -Herbal Essences Shampoo and 1 Conditioner: 2/$5.00 <$3.00 Coupon> My Oop: $2.00
2-Sure Solid Deodorant BOGO $1.89/2 + $3 ECB <2-$1.00 Coupons> My Oop: $0.00

Then I did a separate transaction to purchase a bag of Starbucks coffee : Retail price: $9.99 <$4.00 ECB> My Oop: $5.99

Publix... I am not even going to try to list everything here as the receipt is longer than my arm so I will just give you the low down:

Total Price: $232.01

My Total Oop: $117.11 :)

Yep. I did a little jig right there at the register and that! guy who was all huffy and puffy because he had to wait all that time for the poor girl to scan my coupons did one with me.. lol. He said he'd make people wait to save that kind of money too! Maybe one day I will run into him again and he will have coupons in his hand. That would be great! :)
