PUBLIX Saved Over $63, paid Nothing!!

I went in with a list and a certain outcome, but as always things never happen as you planned. I priced some of the items at one store and when they didn't have some of things I went to another store, which had completely different prices. This a point where it is good to have a contigency plan, which includes coupons for FREE items. But overall the deals worked out better than I expected.

PS the numbers may be a little off, as I am writing this without my receipt in front of me.

Free Shopping at Publix on the Fly!

I went into Publix on Friday with an idea of what I was going to buy, but as usual some of the items that I wanted were not in house so how had to improvise. I wanted to use a $5 off $30 Winn Dixie coupon that I had, but because the $1.29 Carefree pantyliners were out I made a substitution and got free milk in the process. Not like I need anymore, as show in my first post, but hey I'll take it. Here's my breakdown:

-2 Stayfree Ultra Thin Pads $3.47 = $6.94
     used (1) $2/2 Man 3/18 SS and (2) $2/1 Publix Green Advantage Flyer Coupon
= $0.94 or $0.48 each

-2 Carefree Pantiliners $2.39 = $4.78 (little more expensive than $1.29 I wanted, worked out in the end)
     used (2) $1/1 Man 3/18 SS  and (2) $2/1 Publix Advantage Flyer Coupon

This what I would have paid regular price w/o coupons or sales = $57.27
Total with sales price, but w/o coupons: $32.87
Total  with sales price w/ coupons = $ -.04

The overage would have been more, but the I got the milk to absorb that amount. Besides the only thing I kept were the sweet teas everything else was given away.
