Learning To Use Coupons Day 4

Now that you are organized it is time to start checking the Sales list at Southern Savers. I have learned, that there is absolutely no way to shop every store on the list every week unless you spend 40 hours a week planning shopping trips.

Cheerios- $1.00 per box
Yogurt- free
Apple Sauce - Free
Mrs. Pauls Fish - Free

Bread and Charmin were regular price. The charmin was on sale and I had 50 cents off but the bread wasn't on sale and I didn't have a coupon but it's our favorite bread so I splurged on it. All of it for around $15.00. I save $68.00. The Cereal alone not on sale would have been over $40.00 and it cost me $8. People look at you kind of funny when your buying 8 boxes of cereal, but you have to stock up when its on sale.

I personally prefer Publix (above picture is my latest deal at Publix) and CVS. Publix is especially good because they take copmpetitors coupons. So if you have a Food Lion Coupon, Manufacture Coupon , and Publix coupon for a certain item, you will most likely get it for next to nothing or free. Free groceries are the best groceries, in my opinion. I will tell you though, different Publix stores have different competitors and policies. One Publix may take Target coupons  when the other  Publix 1 mile down the road will not. The best thing to do is ask to speak to the manager and ask them. They want you to shop there and they will not mind you asking.
Also if Publix has an item buy 1 get one free, you don't have to buy 2 items. The items ring up half off. The Publix Sales come out on Wednesday every week where most of the others are Friday and Sunday. 

CVS is my favorite drugstore because I can get in and out of there without having to spend a dime.Your first purchase you will have to use cash but after that you may have to pay $1:00 here or there to cover tax but the ECB that print become your cash to use at CVS. It is all explained on Southern Savers.
Your homework for wednesday is look over the Publix list on Southern Savers and if you need to print some of the coupons, print them and then see if you have any of the coupons from the paper and then go get some good deals.
