PUBLIX: 12 FREE Boxes Cereal -AND- $8 Overage - You'll need these coupons:

MORE EXTREME SAVINGS
This deal will be around in Florida Publix stores through Wednesday, February 1.

Buy 12 Boxes Fiber One - Any variety @ $2.50 ea = $30

• USE:  12 manufacturer coupons $0.75 off 1 Fiber One, SmartSource insert of 1/1/12
• USE:  12 Publix store coupons from current weekly ad (back page, $2 off General Mills cereals)
• USE:  1 competitor coupon, Winn-Dixie $5.00 off $30, from Enjoy The City coupon book.  (If you don't have this coupon, you'll still make $0.25 per box purchased, but there's no need to buy $30 worth.)*

________

*If you really want the Winn-Dixie $5 coupon, you could check-out ebay.  I saw them listed 2 for $3.50 (incl. shipping).  So you would still be $6.50 ahead -- that's green money in your pocket.  If you order and they are shipped on Saturday, you ought to be able to get them in time.

PUBLIX: SUPER EXTREME SAVINGS: Everything Free Today ($136.72) + $4.12 Overage / MoneyMaker

My strategy today was to drive up my total as high as I could today so that I would be able to use the $5 Off With $30 Purchase (Winn-Dixie Coupons from the Enjoy The City Books).  So I had to keep track of what was going in my cart and stop shopping as close to $30, $60, $90, or $120 (I had 4 coupons with me).  What made it so easy was the MoneyMakers still available from the Yellow Advantage Flyer (see my previous post for details). 

PUBLIX GAVE ME: $4.12
