Shopper Strategy

Well it’s been a crazy couple of weeks around here! Last week I took the kids to New Orleans for spring break and the day we arrived everything we had planned to do – World War II Museum, Audubon Aquarium and Zoo – all closed due to coronavirus concerns. We made the best of the trip and created our own tours and took the trolleys all over but by the time we got back home all restaurants everywhere had closed to inside dining and all our local stores were out of bread, milk, eggs and toilet paper. While I keep a stockpile of paper goods and cleaning products we did need the rest of those staples so have slowly been able to get eggs, bread and milk and today I just shopped for some BOGO deals to fill in the gaps. Today at Publix I bought $99.77 worth of groceries for $35.91, or 64% off after coupons. Here are the deals:

While I only saved half off this week at Publix I actually think that’s pretty great since everything I bought are things we consider staples at our house – cheese, egg noodles, crackers, peanut butter, sodas and chocolate cake 🙂 This trip I bought $60.03 worth of groceries for $29.95, or 50% off after the one coupon I used. Here are the deals:

I only had time for a quick trip today because I worked late and have a birthday party to go to this evening but I’m happy with the deals I got and the kids will be thrilled with the cereal, cookies and swirl bread.

I always like to take advantage of the $10/$50 gas card deal for extra savings when it’s available but I’m dragging this week as I’ve been studying for a certification test for my job so all I could do was swing in for a quick trip and missed out on that deal. This week at Publix I bought $63.55 worth of groceries for $28.35, or 55% off after coupons. Here are the deals
