Not very much happening at all this week at Publix, but here is a link to the matchups from I Heart Publix anyway. The only thing I came up with is cereal, which we really don't need any more of right now!
General Mills Cereal: Honey Nut, Regular, or Multigrain Cheerios, Lucky Charms, Reese’s Puffs, Cookie Crisp, or Cinnamon Toast Crunch, 15.6 to 21.25 oz, BOGO up to $5.19
-$2/2 General Mills Cheerios Cereal peelie
-FREE 4-pack of Yoplait yogurt WYB Multigrain Cheerios peelie
Use both coupons to get 2 boxes of cereal and 2 packs of yogurt for $3.19 (80 cents each item)
And free Scotch scissors again. I think I may skip Publix and just pick up fresh produce at Costco or the farm stand. We also need milk, but I may be able to get it free at Rite Aid with +UP rewards. Or I may take all the free item coupons I've been hanging on to and finally cash them in. If I can get to $50 before coupons, I could get my milk free with a competitor $5 off $50. Slow week at Publix!

Weekly Totals 7/17/11 edition
Last week I spent $30.32 + tax on items retailing for $296.28, for a savings of 89.8%. That includes a $9 pen for DH because I made the mistake of taking him with me to the office supply stores! Here is what we got:
Orange = Office Max
Red = Staples
Purple = Office Depot
Green = Publix
Blue = Rite Aid
I'm also expecting a $2.50 toward a Mastercard gift card rebate on the Mini Wheats cereal.
My biggest advice for back-to-school shopping: take the loss-leaders and run! Then the week before school you can see what is still missing from your list and go get it. So far I have spent a net total of 25 cents + tax on items for my son's school supply list. We have marked 10 items off the list and have 2 more to go. I will give you a final total when we are all done!
I had more time to shop last week, so I was able to hit several different stores throughout the week. I should have a lot of time this week and maybe next week, too!

Staples freebies 7/10-7/13
Staples has the best school supply deals this week, in my opinion. My Staples accepts Office Max and Office Depot competitor coupons, so I will be using the $5 off $25 Office Max coupon from this week's ad. Here is my plan:
Buy:
2 Staples Multipurpose paper 500-sheet $5.99 ea. = $11.98
1 HP photo paper 50-pack $9.99
1 Germ-X 8 oz. $2
2 Staples Glue Sticks 4-pack $1 ea. = $2
2 Bic Round Stic 8-pack $0.01 ea. = $0.02
2 Staples cap erasers 12-pack $0.01 ea. = $0.02
2 Staples School Glue 4 oz. $0.01 ea. = $0.02
Subtotal = $26.03
Use:
-$5 off $25 Office Max
-$5 Staples rewards Teacher (emailed to me as a thanks for being a teacher, I did not earn it!)
Pay: $16.03 initially
Earn: $21.47 Easy Rebate check
Net: $5.44 moneymaker
FREE School supplies! Even if you do not have the rewards certificate, everything is still a tiny moneymaker. You basically just pay tax!
I would get a $1 item (or 4 of the $0.25 items) and skip the Germ-X if it were not specifically on the list we have from our school. I have plenty of free Purell left that I got last summer, but I don't want to upset the teacher if they are supposed to have Germ-X. Personally, I can't stand the smell of Germ-X, it gives me a headache!!
7/10/11 Update: A little sna-fu at the store, they did not allow me to use the competitor coupon on the "Hot Buys" such as the penny items or 25-cent items. Therefore, I altered my order and bought 2 of the HP photo paper with one ream of multipurpose paper in a single transaction. The total was over $25 and there were no Hot Buys in that transaction, so they allowed the $5 off $25. I bought a second ream of the multipurpose paper along with my Hot Buys and used my $5 reward certificate on that order. My Easy Rebates are showing the full amount, so no deductions for using coupons/rewards, at least not so far. FREE school supplies!

I quickly pulled out my coupons and found a few things still in stock with 30 minutes left in this weeks sale. Remember that I have a 20% discount off the full price with my Wellness Card since I have Gold status. I get the sale price or 20% off the full price, whichever is lower.

I saved 0% this week!
Since we were on vacation, I really took a week off from shopping. However, I made up for it on Thursday and Friday by shopping at Trader Joe's when we were out of town and Costco once we got back. Here is what we got for $75.22 this week:
Red = Costco
Blue = Trader Joe's
Traer Joe's is nostalgic for me. At one time several years back, I lived very close to Wal-Mart and shopped there almost exclusively. I was spending around $100 a week for just myself and my husband. After my first child began eating table food, I wanted healthier options so I drove out of my way to shop at Trader Joe's. I was spending only $70 per week for the same quantity of food. 30% off Wal-Mart prices everyday, and the food is better for you. Now that I have learned to maximize coupon shopping, I have strayed from the healthier foods too far, unfortunately. In the future, I will be trying to purchase fewer junk food items and may even join a vegetable co-op.
