$120.02 of GROCERIES FREE PLUS++ OVERAGE @ PUBLIX!!!

This week we decided to challenge ourselves . What was challenging you ask???? We went to the store with NO money!! that's right nothing, zip,zilch, nada, not a penny in our pocket. Faced with the fear of something going wrong, did we calculate it right?, did we bring all the coupons?, is everything going to be stock? In fact everything worked out perfect. We calculated right, we had all the coupons, and everything was in stock!! We did 2 transactions, we had 2 $5/$25 competitor coupons which helped us maxamize our savings.

You did great. 2011 had the free Fiber One deal in the summer or fall. Hopefully we'll see it again in 2012.

Ok, overall you did a great job and I wouldv'e been sweating so bad if I tried what you did with not taking any "backup" money so that is awesome but I do have to ask. What are you going to do with 20 boxs of cereal? I am assuming you will use some and donate some but wouldn't 20 boxes pretty much clear a good chunk of the selves and leave none for the people that just want to actually have cereal in their cabinets to eat?

Thank you,well to answer your question about the 20 boxes of cereal,yes in our household we like to stock up on those types of deals when they come around.When we do get a lot of some items we Always,donate food and other goods to our FAMILY and FRIENDS,on a regular basis.and for the shelve clearing,we actually went to 2 different stores and only bought 10 at each..and each store was completely stocked on the cereal that we barely put a dent on the shelves.
