I went immediately to get this deal at Publix after I printed my coupon. I live in Florida so I got both FREE! Also, you dont have to buy the regular Cranberry juice in order to buy this coupon.

Or have different people in your household print one from their facebooks on different computers.


FREE Sominex and Phazyme Money Maker at Publix

The last couple weeks at Publix shoppers were scrambling to find the Ex-Lax and vitamin deals they had going on. Now starting with the new Green Advantage flyer, the best deals is the Sominex and Phazyme promotion.

I didn't even know what Sominex and Phazyme was, nor did I need it. But for every 2 Sominex that you bought with the corresponding coupons, you got them for free plus made $2.62 in overage.

Sominex 16 tablet $3.19 each, get 2 = $6.38
- $5 off 2 Sominex Publix Green Advantage flyer coupon
- $2 off 1 Sominex printable coupon found HERE (print 2 of these). Click on the Savings tab and you must sign up to print the coupons.
= Free plus $2.62 overage



Phazyme $3.49 each, get 2 = $6.98
-$5 off 2 Phazyme Publix Green Advantage flyer coupon
-$2 off 1 Phazyme printable coupon found HERE (print 2 of these). Its the same website as the Sominex coupon, so you must sign up.



This is the new Green Advantage Flyer. You can grab as many as you like. From my understanding you can only use 6 Publix coupons per transaction. Deals end February 17th 2012.

Unfortunately for me I could not find any Phazyme in stock...but I will keep checking. I applied my overage to buy some chicken.


If you don't use these products donate them.

FREE Speed Stick Deodorant at CVS Plus Money Maker

CVS has this deal with certain products that if you spend $12 you get a $6 extra care buck good on your next purchase. The last day for this deal is this Saturday.


I was running very low on mens deodorant and antiperspirant so I grabbed the opportunity to stock up on lots of Speed Stick Deodorant and Antiperspirant.

I got 7 Speed Sticks to make my total $13.93 so I could qualify for the $6 extra care buck. However, some of the Speed Stick varieties scanned at $0.99 each. This was the Clean Stainguard variety shown below. Maybe it was on clearance or there is a mistake with their system???



So my total was under $12 and I had to grab one more Speed Stick for a total of 8. My CVS only had 3 of the Clean scented ones, if they had more I would have saved even more money and got 13 of them.

So once you get your total to be $12 or more, use the following coupons:
2- Buy One Get One Free Speed Stick found in the Jan 29th Smartsource insert
2- $1/2 Speed Stick found in the Jan 15th Smartsource insert

I only get 2 newspapers so I only had 2 copies of these coupons. If you have more even better.

So my total was $12.92
- $3.99 buy one get one free coupon
-$3.99 buy one get one free coupon
-$1/2 coupon
=  $2.94 I paid out of pocket, and then I got a $6 extra care buck. So I got all the items for free plus made $3.06.
-$1/2 coupon

*Note that each Speed Stick was $1.99 or $0.99 but the buy one get one free coupons took off  $3.99.

When you get enough points you can exchange them for lots of different items. My favorite are the magazine subscriptions which only cost 100-150 points. You can easily obtain 100 points by doing just a few tasks. Everything is free, you just have to spend some time reading and learning about different ways to recycle and help the environment. So far I got subscription to Good Housekeeping which has high value coupons in it.

$0.41 for $37.61 worth of Groceries at Publix

Today my new Publix sales were released. I have been looking since Jan 7th for this deal on Ex-Lax which I definitely don't need but I had a coupon combination that for every 2 that I bought I made $3.02 which was applied to the rest of my grocery total. Finally I found some toady. This deal ends tomorrow along with the green advantage flyer at Publix. So hurry up and see if you can find some in stock at your local Publix.

Ex-Lax 10 count soft gels $2.49 each. Get 2 of them to do the following:
-$5 off 2 Ex-Lax Publix store coupon found in the green advantage flyer which expires after tomorrow
- $3 off 2 Ex-Lax Manufacturer coupon found in Jan 8th Smartsource insert
= -$3.02
I did this twice so I got $6.04 applied to my groceries.

You can do this 2 times to get a total of 4 Ex-Lax. I tried to do it once more but the cashier said there was a limit of some sort...limit of 6 coupons or something I really did not understand. But if your smart you will split up your items into 2 or more transactions so that you can do it multiple times.

Kraft BBQ Sauce: buy one get one free $1.49 for 2. I had no coupons but it was a good deal.



Kraft Homestyle Mac & Cheese: buy one get one free for $2.59. I love this stuff so even though I did not have any coupons I still bought it. I got a total of 4 so I paid $5.18 for 4.



Campbell's Select Harvest Soups: buy one get one free for $2.49. I love the light versions because they are awesome if your on a calorie restricted diet.
-$1 off 2 coupon found in the Jan 8th Smartsource insert
= $1.49 for 2 cans. I got 4 so my total was $2.98.

General Mills Fiber One Cereals: on sale 2 for $5.
-$2 off 1 General Mills Cereal 15.6 oz and up. This Publix store coupon is found on the back of the weekly store flyer. Get 2 of these coupons. Make sure you choose Fiber One boxes that are 15.6oz or bigger.

OR even better print the $0.85 off 1 Fiber One cereals coupon found by signing up on the Pillsbury website by clicking HERE. Print 2 of these.

So, if you used the $0.75 coupons your total would be -$0.50 which is applied to your groceries. If you used the $0.85 coupon your total would be -$0.70.

-$0.50 off 1 manufacturer coupon found in the Jan 1st Redplum insert.

Unfortunately for me I all ready used the $0.50 coupon so I paid $0.50 for each packet but it was still a good deal.



Total without any coupons: $37.61
Total after coupons: $5.41
I had a $5 off $20 Publix coupon I got for changing my address. The post office packet that is mailed to you after you change your address has tons of coupons = $0.41 plus tax

You can find various $5 off some total coupons by using the ones from Winn Dixie or Dollar General. They have coupons like this frequently in their flyers. If your local Publix considers them a competitor they will accept these coupons. To find out who your local Publix considers a competitor go to the customer service desk and ask. They should give you a small piece of paper that lists which stores they consider competitors. Every Publix has a different list.
