Reader Shares Her Publix Savings (and uses Knox coupons wisely)!

Sarah e-mailed me about her incredible trip to Publix this week. I'm very impressed. =) She was lucky enough to receive some of those $4/1 Knox coupons in the 1-24-10 RP. If you're unfamiliar with the beauty of the $4 Knox coupon, you can go read this post that fully explains why it is so spectacular to use at Publix! (Basically, it's like a coupon for almost $3 off of your entire grocery bill. I've used them countless times before. The link to the above post is from a printable Knox coupon that was available a while back).

Anyways, here is what Sarah bought:

2 Contessa frozen meals

2 Pillsbury toaster strudels

1 box Fruity Pebbles

1 box Honey Combs

2 loaves Pepperidge Farm bread

4 Juicy Juices

I bag of Wonka gummies

I can of Pam cooking spray

6 boxes Knox gelatin

1 Hunts ketchup

2 cans Rotel tomatoes

2 bottles Kraft BBQ sauce

1 gallon Milk

1 bunch of bananas

2 Boxes Honey Grahams

2 boxes Aleve

1 12 pack of Fanta

2 12 packs of Diet Coke

Total Before Sales and Coupons: $101.50
Total saved from sales: $36.12
Manufacturer coupons used: $38.95
Store/Competitor coupons used: $6.75
Total amount saved: $81.82
Total paid after all sales and coupons: $19.68

Did you catch that??? She paid $19.68 for $101.50 worth of groceries. Now that's my kind of shopping! I'm sure you can also see how amazingly wonderful that Knox coupon is. She used 6 of them on the 6 boxed gelatins, giving her approximately $15.66 in overage! ***Your Publix has to allow overage for this to work. It just depends on your store. Some allow it, others do not.

Way to go, Sarah! =)
