Here are two pictures from a recent trip to Publix. The first shows what I could’ve spent $5 on. The second shows what I actually got with $5 because I used coupons! The interesting thing to note, is that the chicken patties were on sale. If they had NOT been on sale, my $5 would’ve been blown on just them. They are $4.99 regular price.
Because I shopped a sale, without coupons I could get the patties ($2.50), buns ($1.29) and pudding ($1.25) for $5.04 (tax not included because it varies so much state to state.)
Because I had coupons, I saved $1.50 on the chicken, $.50 on the buns and got THREE puddings because I had a buy 2 get 1 free coupon. That put my total at $4.29. Throw in a pack of hot dogs on sale for $1.00 and my total was $5.29. For a quarter more, I was able to get twice as many things just because I took the time to clip three coupons!
If you think couponing doesn’t work and it doesn’t really save you money, well…the proof is in the pudding. ;)
