Reader Trips - My Publix Score - Made Overage

I did well!
*I got my Baby Club coupons this past weekend and matched them to previous receipts and ended up getting $19 back before I even started shopping! *Both my husband and me have accounts and receive almost the same coupons each time.

**I also bought 3 $50 Gas cards for $40 each, the savings was credited to my overall savings, but the gas was NOT credited to the totals at the end of this. Gas is one of those inevitable things we will be paying for, the savings happens today. That's my logic at least :)

Reader Trips - My Publix quick trip - 2/25/12

This was a 30 minute trip (plus 10 minutes planning) while the hubby and baby were asleep on the couch. FTR - My baby turns 2 in 1 month! WOW! I must have blinked. It was just a few days ago I announced that he was here... EARLY by a few weeks and then proceeded to take a whopping 4 days off fro blogging. 


I really wanted to get the Pampers to do the Running Out Run In Rebate (spend $30 in select items, get a $5 Publix gift card by mail - ended 2/25/12) It wasn't a HUGE deal, but I had $4.50 in coupons off each pack anyhow and a $5/$30 Publix coupon... AND they were on sale from $10.99 to $9.49. How could I pass all that up?


Also to note: (had I looked at the ad this week) there is a free Rotisserie chicken wyb 4 of a specific item and Pampers was included. D'oh! Looks like I will return again tomorrow!

I COULD have just bought 3 packs of diapers for a total of $30.49... but I wasnt sure if the rebate people would decide that it was $30 BEFORE tax,, even though the rebate says before coupons, I didnt want to risk them looking at the item price and seeing me come up $1.50 short. Not like I wont use the diapers and it was a good price. PLUS the NB diapers have $10 in coupons inside (I havent looked at them yet)
