Sales & Coupons at Publix

Target has coupons in their weekly ad that are accepted at our regional Publix stores (see more on tricks with competitor coupons here). This time around Target was featuring $5 off a $15 purchase of Pepsi products. Good time to stock up!

In addition to this great coupon is the Publix sale on Pepsi 12 packs. The sale is Buy 2 Get 1 Free (B2G1). Each 12 pack is $5.29. With the sale, we will stack the sale and the Target coupon. Not a bad start!

A competitor coupon like this would be counted after sale prices. 3 packs would normally get us to the $15 requirement to use this coupon. Because the sale is B2G1, we arrive at $10.58 for 3 packs. I made an executive decision to purchase 6 packs total (2 of which will be free with the sale).

Publix also has a coupon for $2 off any 2 12 packs of Dr Pepper. In our region, Pepsi distributes Dr Pepper making it a "Pepsi product" in the coupon world. 

Since I committed to buying 6 packs to take advantage of the sale and the Target coupon, I used 2 of the Publix coupons (see photo below). I chose 4 packs of Dr Pepper to use the Publix coupon. 

Checkout 51 (previous post here) has a rebate for 50¢ a single 12 pack of Diet Pepsi. 

That adds up to a quadruple stack (Publix sale + Target coupon + Publix coupon + Checkout 51 rebate). Now we're talkin'!

Here is the soft drink breakdown: 

$21.16 (quantity 6 of 12 packs at sale price after B2G1)

- $4 (quantity 2 of the Publix coupon)

- $5 (Target coupon)

= $12.16 for 6 12 packs (or $2.03 for each 12 pack)

- $0.50 Checkout 51 rebate

= $11.66

Quadruple stacked deal!

The other Publix coupon in the photo above is for Dannon Greek yogurt. These yogurts were on sale also with the price set at 10 for $10. I used a manufacturer coupon that was $1 off 5 single Greek yogurts. The bummer of the situation is that I only had 1 of those manufacturer coupons. 

Here is the yogurt breakdown: 

$10 (for 10 on sale)

- $3 Publix coupon

- $1 manufacturer coupon

= $6 for 10 (or 60¢ each)

Double stacked deal!

I had a coupon for a free Old Orchard juice. Single stack and free!

The retail value of this shopping trip would have been $46.43. After sales, competitor coupons, manufacturer coupons, and Publix coupons, I paid $18.16 + tax. 

I always feel like I win the capitalist game when I save more than I actually pay. This outing was definitely a winner!
