One of our local Sweetbays is closing so they  have all of their frozen food on 50% off and are also taking coupons on top that, so I just had to make a run for it to see what deals I could get. They only had about 1/3 of their frozen products left so the picking was slim and most of what they had left i didnt have coupons for but i still did pretty good.

Cheap Vanity Fair products @ Publix

In todays Redplum insert there was a Publix coupon for $1 off any one package of Vanity Fair.  If you pair this with a manufacturer coupon you can get some really cheap products. The price check in my area (tampa) is $1.99 - $2.99. So depending on which MQ you have you can score some pretty good deals.  

PQ $1.00 exp 8/27 (7/24 RP)

Pair with one of the following:

$1 off Vanity Fair hand towels

$0.55/1 Vanity Fair Napkins, bowls, plates, or cups (Redbook june 2011)

$0.55/1 Vanity Fair Napkins, bowls, plates, or cups (Goodhousekeeping june 2011) 

$0.55/1 Vanity Fair Napkins, Plates, Bowls or Cups (Better Homes and Gardens April 2011)

$1 off Vanity Fair hand towels

My Small Publix trip 7/21 saved 62%

Sorry for the blurry picture.  I only needed a few things from the store today, and unfortunately i wasnt able to get everything i wanted.  I was really looking forward to the cheap Solo Plates, but my Publix wouldnt accept 2 Target coupons, so I decided against getting them. I also had to pay for 1 of the tapes on a seperate transaction because of the policy to only take 1 Target coupon.  My budget for this trip was $20 and I spent $20.37. It would have been lower but the deli guy went over on my Boars Head chicken and I told him to just leave it, because i love Boars Head.  I also decided to get 2 Covergirl items for really cheap (instead of free) because I needed new tweezers so instead of 2 free items i got 1 free and 1 really cheap.
