Kroger & Publix Trips 1/15/10

The sales for Kroger end tonight, but the sales for Publix end on Tuesday night. I wanted to use up my Steamfresh coupons (Kroger) from two different inserts (SS 12/6 & SS 1/10) since the vegetables were free after coupon! Also the Bush's beans FLIP that I used at Publix expires on the 19th so if you like beans, now is the time to buy them.

okay I am trying to get coupony now...what's the coupon lingo in this post...i don't know what it all means? I want to get the same deals.

Hi Christa,

Look at the bottom of this page and you will see a section for common coupon lingo. IP Q is Internet printable coupon, MF Q is manufacturer coupon (usually from insert), eQ is a coupon that you load on your customer loyalty card from the Internet. Cellfire and Shortcuts are the websites. Catalina is a coupon that spits out of the little machine when you check out - usually the cashier hands these to you with your receipt. Store coupons usually come from the flyers that you find as you enter the store. FLIPs are Food Lion Internet Printables and you can find these at Southernsavers.com under store coupons. Hope that helps!

I am amazed at the final cost of your Publix trip--It doesn't seem possible that you can pay less out of pocket for all that than it would have cost for the protein alone! Do you ever buy fresh produce? That always adds to my final total and I can't seem to get that total down without buying things I really don't want or need.

It is pretty amazing. I would not have thought it possible a couple of years ago. I do buy fresh produce, usually from Aldi's where it is cheapest. Also, HG Hill often has one or two types of produce as their loss leaders so you can usually get cabbage/onions/potatoes for next to nothing.

I do rely on frozen vegetables probably more frequently as I can get them for free, and I do not have to worry about them going bad in my refrigerator.
