Groceries - Last Week of October/First of November



Publix had such good deals this week, I went twice!  :)  If you missed it so far, they have a $4/4 General Mills products coupon right now that is a Publix coupon...that means you can combine it with manufacturer's coupons for SUPER deals!  Here's what I got:

Trip 1

4 Pillsbury Ready to Bake Cookie Packs - Normally $2.97 each, on sale for $2 each, had 2 coupons for $1.50/2, Pillsbury is a GM product so $1 off each pack - $1 total for 4 packs!

6 packs Pillsbury Biscuits (Small) - Normally 89 cents each, had 3 coupons for 40 cents off 2 (which all double) General Mills Product (so $1 off each) - $1.86 OVERAGE!!

2 Pillsbury Orange Rolls - Normally $2.39 each, had 50 cents off 2 coupon (which doubles), then General Mills product (so $1 off each) -  $1.78 for both

2 Pillsbury Cinnamon Rolls - Normally $2.39 each, had 50 cents off 2 coupon (which doubles), then General Mills product (so $1 off each) - $1.78 for both

Betty Crocker Cream Cheese Frosting - normally $1.89, had coupon for 50 cents off 1 (which doubles), then General Mills Product - 11 cents OVERAGE!!

Progresso Chicken Broth - Normally $2, had a coupon for 50 cents off 1 (which doubles), then a General Mills product - FREE!

2 Progresso Soups - Normally $2.29 each, had a coupon for 75 cents off 2, then a General Mills product - $1.85 for 2

Yoplait Delights 4 pack - Normally $2.99 each, had a coupon for $1/1, then a General Mills product - $1 total

Yoplait Yogurt (just needed 1 to get to 20 GM products) - Normally 89 cents, General Mills product - 11 cents overage!

Publix Peanut Butter - Normally $2.39, penny item this week

2 Santtitas Tortilla Chips - $2 each (not on sale, but ounce for ounce cheaper than the Publix brand tortilla chips that were on sale) - $4 total

Lettuce - $1.49

Total for Trip 1 - $47.46 worth of products for $10.46 (pretax) - that's a 78% savings!


Trip 2

5 packs Pillsbury Ready to Bake Cookies - Normally $2.97 each, on sale for $2 each, had 2 of the $1.50/2 coupons and 1 50 cents/1 (which doubled), then all GM products - $1 for all 5!

4 Bird's Eye Steamfresh Meals - Normally $7.99 each, on sale for $4.99 each, had 2 B1G1 free coupons - $10 total for all 4

Publix Peanut Butter - Normally $2.39, penny item this week

2 Packs Nature Valley Granola Bars - Normally $3.19 each, on sale for $2.50 each, had 1 55 cents/1 coupon and 1 70 cents/1 coupon, then those are GM products - $1.75 for both packs

1 pack Nature Valley Nut Clusters - Normally $3.19 each, on sale for $2.50 each, had a $1/1 coupon, then a GM product - 50 cents total

Burrito Sized Tortillas - Normal price of $1.85

Total for Trip 2 - $57.04 worth of products for $15.09 (pretax) - that's a 74% savings!

All in all this week, I paid $25.55 (pretax) for $104.43 worth of products - that's 76% off.  Not too bad of a week!

I've had a lot of people asking how they can get into all of this...this is actually a great week!  You can find the ad at the front of the store - the general mills coupons are about halfway through the ad, on the top left.  Try buying GM products that are under/close to a dollar to receive several products for free or very cheap!  Some of the things in my store that are pretty close are Pillsbury Grands biscuits (the small pack), Progresso veggies, Old El Paso products, and Yoplait yogurts.  Try it and see what you come up with!
