Grocery Shopping at Publix

We are out of town visiting family- and I was thrilled to go grocery shopping for some items needed for dinner. I have never shopped at a Publix before- but I was game! I checked out the sales ad online before we left- and just had coupons for one item- one is better than none!


We needed rice for our dinner- and so I pulled all three rice coupons out of my box and brought them with me to the store. Since Uncle Ben's rice was advertised as being on sale- I made sure to bring those coupons- but since I was unfamiliar with what the usual store prices were on the other rice products- I brought the other coupons just in case.

The Success rice was our best purchase price- normally $1.29 per box and I had (6) $1 coupons. Even Uncle Ben's with coupons couldn't touch that price! We bought 6 boxes (because of our 6 coupons). We only needed ONE box, but we bought all SIX boxes for $.45 more than the price of ONE box!

FYI: Publix has super cute store packaging!

Total items: $22.94

Spent: $15.74 & Saved: $7.20
6 coupons used.

Coupon Lady Snippet:

Building a stockpile one item at a time! Because I was able to buy 6 boxes of rice for less the the price of 1.5 boxes- I bought all that I had coupons for. I checked the expiration dates on the boxes to make sure that there was a reasonable time frame to be able to realistically eat all of the rice.
