Publix Trip 5/13/10

13.77 (saving 87%)

It was a great trip, especially since the things I wanted were in stock! Lately I have been shopping at the Publix in Franklin near Fieldstone Farms. I really like the way the store is laid out and the people are very nice. It's a good time to stock up on cold/flu meds for fall.

For the Locals: Tips for Saving Water Logged Heirlooms

The Tennessee State Museum has created a resource page for details on saving your heirlooms (like pictures) that were recently water logged during the flooding in Tennessee. I had not thought about it before, but if you have many items that must be dealt with, you can start by freezing them so that you will only have to deal with a few items at a time. Check the page for more details.

I Still Love You CVS!

It has been forever since I visited CVS. For a while, I was going at least every week to flip my ECBs (CVS money that prints at the end of your receipt and does expire if not used). If you have never used the CVS system, you are truly missing out. Basically you keep buying the products that produce ECBs with the previous ECBs earned, using very little of your own money. I was an avid shopper for about one year. At the end of the year, I had so many free products that I was giving half of them away and my cabinets were still full. So I stopped going.

Well, I am starting to run out of that very expensive free face cream and I have discovered that we use up a lot more shampoo then conditioner (meaning I now have a cabinet full of conditioner). I also want to start giving more products to charities. So I made a trip today at lunch. I started with no ECBs. I stopped by CVS yesterday afternoon to scan my card on their machine and got a few CVS coupons and a $5/$40 purchase coupon.

Here is what I bought:

80% Off Restaurant.com Gift Certificates!

Restaurant.com has a new 80% off promotional code:

Take 80% off of $25 Gift Certificates and pay ONLY $2! Use promo code ENJOY through 5/13! These are great for trying out new local places and for traveling. We always use these on vacations.

Minimum spending limits for each "gift certificate" and other restrictions often apply so read carefully. For example, say you purchase a $25 gift certificate for $2. You are required to spend at least $35 at the restaurant as part of the deal. Thus, you spend $2 + $10 + gratuity out of pocket. They don’t expire for a year after purchasing, so you’ll definitely have plenty of time to make use of them. You can print them from your computer.
