Sometimes, being crazy pays...

At the risk of sounding like a complete nut, I'm going to tell you about my shopping experience, yesterday. Why will I sound like a nut to some? I went to Publix yesterday to take advantage of last week's sale (their sales end on Tuesday) and will go back today, for this week's deals and penny item Wednesday. Having said that, to put some questions to bed, I am not running all over town all week to save a buck. With the price of gas, that would hardly be worth it. One of the twins had practice near Publix, so I took advantage of coupons I scrounged up over the weekend.

Okay, here's what I snagged:

• 1 Red Baron frozen pizza using $1 off coupon- $1.99
• 1 Similac formula using $3 coupon and $5 Similac check- FREE + $2 overage
• 1 BOGO Schick Quatro razors + Skintimate shaving gel using $0.55 Skintimate coupon, $3 Quatro coupon + $2 competitor coupon, when you buy both- $1.45 (for both)
• 2 BOGO Schick Intuition razors using $3 coupons- $3 (for both)
• 1 BOGO Lady Speed Stick using $0.50 coupon- $0.22
• 1 Charmin Freshmates- FREE

Total spent $9.22. Total saved $33.05

Here is where things really get interesting and why it always pays to talk to the people at customer service. Last week, I bought Charmin toilet paper, not because I'm in love with that brand, but because it was on sale and I stacked 2 coupons. Over the weekend, I found a Publix coupon for free Charmin Freshmates, when you buy Charmin toilet paper. I showed the man at customer service my receipt from last week and asked him if he'd honor the coupon, even though I didn't use it at the time of purchase-- he said yes! I honestly didn't expect him to, but am happy he did, anyway. These will be deposited in my car for highly anticipated future spill clean-up.

There are 2 things of note I want to draw your attention to:

1- The Red Baron pizza had a coupon on the back 

An already inexpensive dinner now goes even farther, with a future trip to BWW in mind! Woot woot!

2- The Schick Quatro razors had a coupon inside for 10 FREE song downloads. Woohoo!

Although I know I may look like a complete nut case for going to the same store 2 days in a row, the point of having saved money on my purchase, money on a future trip to BWW, and downloading 10 songs for FREE surely makes it all worthwhile. :) 

Get out there & get some deals! Let me know what you find! Happy Wednesday, everybody!
