Publix: My children's favorites!

It's a yucky, rainy day here in usually beautiful, sunny South Florida, but I braved the heavy showers to head out to Publix once more before the sales week was up!

I got some good deals on ice cream and Cheerios - two of my kids' favorite things to eat!

On my last trip, I was only able to buy two containers of Ben & Jerry's, as I only had one $1/1 Ben & Jerry's Frozen Yogurt or Ice Creams, exp. 6/16/13 (RP 05/19/13) coupon, which I combined with a Publix manufacturer's e-coupon.  But on Sunday I got my free coupon inserts for 5/19, so I was able to get six more containers for only $1.00 each.  Great, yummy deal!

And last week, I bought four boxes of MultiGrain Cheerios.  We only have one left, believe it or not.  So I wanted to get more, but I was out of prints of the $0.75 off ONE BOX Multi Grain Cheerios cereal coupon.  So instead, I saved a little less and used the $0.50 off ONE BOX Original Cheerios cereal coupon to get two boxes of Original Cheerios for $1.49 each.

The whole trip ended costing me nothing out of pocket, as I used a Publix gift card that I had received for running a Publix gift card giveaway.  But I'm still counting the full amount here for my budgeting.

Here are the details of these deals:

2 Original Cheerios @ $1.99 = $3.98
- 2 $0.50 off ONE BOX Original Cheerios cereal
= $2.98 for two, or $1.49 each

6 Ben & Jerry's ice cream @ BOGO $3.99  = $11.97
- 6 $1/1 Ben & Jerry's Frozen Yogurt or Ice Creams, exp. 6/16/13 (RP 05/19/13)
= $5.97 for six, or $1.00 each

Tax: 72¢
Total out of pocket:  $9.67
Total saved compared to Publix full prices: $22.17
