Tips for Shopping This Week and a Note about Next Week's (4/12) Sunday Paper

I’m not going to be available for a few days, which means my Sunday post might be late. You can check http://www.southernsavers.com/ to see what’s available and also check Angela’s Money Saving Tips on Facebook as well. As I’ve mentioned, those are great resources for the same information.

However, I did want to mention a couple of things:

First, be aware that next week (Easter Weekend) there are no coupons in the Sunday paper, so if you’re someone who buys multiple copies for this purpose, you can save your money as well as, perhaps, an extra trip to the store.

Second, if you’re a Publix shopper (and even if you’re not), this weekend has some deals that are G-R-E-A-T!

I picked up the following:

Chex Mix: $0.28 after coupons
Kraft Salad Dressing: Free after coupons
Birds Eye Frozen Veggies (Steam Fresh): $0.19 after coupon. Interestingly, the Birds Eye coupon doesn’t show up on any database search, but it’s in SmartSource for 3/29 (last week)
Duncan Hines Cake Mix $0.11 after coupon
Land O Lakes butter $1.00 after coupon

This is just a sample, so you definitely want to do a little digging. SouthernSavers, as I said, is helpful, but also, in CouponMom.com, the same list can be generated, but it also provides the percent savings after all the eligible deals.

If you don’t normally shop at Publix, do what I do for other stores—I go down the CouponMom list and look for deals in excess of 65%. That’s usually the threshold after which I consider making a trip to a second store.

That’s it for now.
