Tips from this weeks trip:
- Grabbed an extra ham to stock up at Easter prices (lowest price until the next “family” holiday)
- Bought 4 Wheat Thins, using (2) B1G1 and (2) -.55/1 coupons — Always remember that a B1G1 coupon is really a coupon off one item and the other item is still full store price and can have another coupon used.
- Used a coupon found in a Publix flyer at Bi-Lo because it was a manufacturers coupon — don’t let the words “Redeem at” scare you. If it is a manufacturers coupon use it where you want to!
- Redeemed a raincheck for the skillet meals. When I got the raincheck I told customer service that I had a coupon that would expire before they were restocked — they wrote okay to use expired coupons on the raincheck!! Made the meals $1.50 ea instead of $7.99 ea. (I love Publix.)
