The Coupon Queen gets $66 in groceries for $12 in Publix


I'm getting anxious because a lot of my coupons are expiring on 4/30. So I went shopping! Have I truly lost it?

The grandkids love Crustables, the frozen PB&J sandwiches, usually $2.79 a box, on sale at Publix for $2, the .55 coupon expires 4/30. Now, I know, I'm nuts to pay even $1.50 for 4 PB&Js, but for some reason they like them better than the ones we make. Go figure!

Thanks to Andrea's reminder, I bought 4 of the StarKist SeaSations, frozen fish entrees, which are BOGO thru Wednesday, and with 4 $3 off coupons, FREE! Has anyone tried them...are they edible? There were 4 flavors, is one better than the others?

Fresh Express Salad Mixes are on sale for $2.50, and there's a $1 off coupon in the yellow Publix flyer at the front of the store.

My favorite Ocean Spray Cranberry 100% Juice, is BOGO use two $1 coupons. I know we've had reports of folks having trouble with this coupon. Sorry. I used it tonight again. I find if you just buy a few they will take it. The day I tried to buy 8 bottles at one time, they wouldn't.

So, in a nutshell, I got $66 worth of groceries for $12. When I checked out, the sweet cashier said, "You are the Coupon Queen of the night." If she only knew!
