12/17 Publix ... Spent $80.94 ... Saved $194.07


We used rainchecks, store, competitor, and manufacturer's coupons, and store sales to save 71% on this shopping trip.  We used 68 coupons total.  Manufacturer's coupons worth $37.25.  Store and competitor's coupons worth $46.25.  Sale prices saved us $110.57 off regular price. 

So at this time of year when everyone is trying to take advantage of deals and sales for presents just changing your shopping habits to include buying things when they are on sale and stockpiling you can save a substantial amount all year long.  Our savings from sale prices alone this year is $4,408.54.  Adding the coupons saved us another $3,704.10.  That does not include the $1,202.95 we saved at CVS because they do not break down your savings on their receipts.
