2nd small trip to Publix 9/11 saved 63%

I couldnt get a picture of my deals to day, my husband put all the stuff away as soon as we got in the door. I went back to Publix to try and get some of the deals that came out with the new Yellow Advantage Buy Flyer and also to try and get more of the Puff w/ Vicks tissue.  I was unable to get the tissue this time (even though i was able to on Friday) because the manager said that they wouldnt be reimbursed because it is a Puffs product not a Vicks product. (i tried to explain that if you go to the Vicks website under products it lists the tissue, but he still said no) Oh well.  I also forgot my PQ for the Scope but i still got a good deal on it.

My small Publix trip 9/9

$18.97

I couldnt pass up some of the deals i was seeing at Publix so I decided to make a quick run.  I had been seeing posts about using the 8/28 P&G coupon for $3/2 Vicks product on the Puffs w/ Vicks tissue, and since we needed tissue I decided to give it a try. I held those items and coupons until last and asked the cashier about the Q's before she scanned them and she scanned one and then the coupon and said since it didnt beep and the Puffs say Vicks on it then I could use them. YAY!!
