I decided to make a crazy day and go couponing at 3 stores!
Here is my break downs at each store I went to.
First Stop Winn Dixie
(6) Boxes of Anytizers Snacks on Sale for $1.98 or $11.88
(3) 5 Count Zyrtex 6.79 each or $20.37
Total: $32.25 plus tax
USED:
(6) .50/1 Anytizers Hot Wings (see note) 3/17 SS brought total to 29.25
(3) $6/1 Zyrtec 4/28 SS brought total to 11.25
(1) $5 off $30 WD
Total: $6.25 plus tax
Saved $ 38.00
Note: The coupon is for the Hot wings but when I asked for those they said they do not have them but if I have the coupon I can use it for any of the boxes or bags. Go Figure?%$#! They argued with me about how I can not get a clearance item for bogo even when it matches the sale perfectly but they will accept and encourage me to use the coupon for the wrong item. Got to love Winn Dixie.
NEXT STOP PUBLIX
(12) Bottles of Fuze $1.99 each but had raincheck for B2G1 so it was $17.91
Total $33.91 plus tax
Used
(4) Buy One Regular HP get HP Aloha Free Publix Yellow Flyer (see Note) brought total to 25.91
(6) Buy One Get One Free Fuze Publix Yellow Flyer brought total to $13.97
(1) $5 off $30 brought total to $8.97
(1) $6.00 Gift Card from coupons that I left at home from last order
Total $2.87 plus tax
Saved $38.94
Note: The Publix Coupon states buy one Hawian Punch get a Hawian Punch Aloha Free but manager stated that they cannot keep the Aloha out on the shelf due to the coupon so they will allow you to get just the Regular Hawian and still use the coupon. NOW... Publix has every right to do this since it is there coupon and since I had no other coupon ($1/1 Aloha) there was no issues.

My trip today goes to show you that sometimes the risk does not pay off.
I made a mistake today but in the end I got a lot of items and things that my family needs for pennies on the dollar but I am still kicking myself for seeing it did not work and then trying it again like a fool!
OH WELL... SCOOP IT UP TO EXPERIENCE AND MOVE ON!
HAPPY COUPONING!
