SPEND A DOLLAR, SAVE A DOLLAR

What a successful shopping day! I apologize that I'm going to share all my savings without knowing the source of my coupons, but I promise to keep better track in the future - and hopefully to share them before the weekly savings at the stores come to an end. :)

My shopping list for Winn Dixie included toilet paper, laundry detergent, and paper towels. I don't have certain brands that I'm totally attached to, so I'm able to buy where the buying's good. One rule, however: no Charmin per Robbie's request - reason not to be shared via blog. :) So with Angel Soft TP, 2 things of Purex detergent, and a big thing of Brawny paper towels, I walked out with $16.13 out of pocket and $14.78 in savings. The majority of my savings came from the purchase of the Purex - Normal price is $7.49, but Winn Dixie had it on sale for $4.99, and I had a BOGO free coupon, making it $2.50 per bottle. I am almost positive this coupon was in the SmartSource from the Sunday paper on 2/21. If interested in using it, find it quick because it expires on 3/6.

As far as Publix goes, I'll just mention my better finds. This week's Publix ad is offering $1 off any Sure anti-perspirant deoderant, which can be combined with one of the following manufacturers' coupons: $1/1 anti-perspirant deoderant or $1.50/1 Men's anti-perspirant deoderant.. This makes the total cost either .39 or FREE (with .11 extra)! This too was in the SmartSource from either 2/21 or 2/28. I also had many other random coupons and applied those to the already marked BOGO items. My total trip resulted in the use of 11 coupons, totalling $9.45 in savings, and $23.62 in store savings. Out of pocket expense: $31.70; Total savings: $33.07.

When the new ads for the next week come out, I'll try to post the good deals, as well as any accompanying coupons.
