Publix Trip (Not so pleasant)

I normally go to Publix on Sunday mornings to take advantage of the penny item but I ventured out today since my husband wanted fresh fish for dinner. I had a very rude cashier, something that I have never encountered at a Publix before. As soon as I got to the line, she saw that I had coupons and asked for them --- my husband joked around saying we had lots of coupons. She sarcastically said, I should have known and then turned to another cashier to say "another one". I had  15 coupons, I am sorry but that is not a lot. I know there are quite a few people out there that really bring a bad name to couponing but please, we arent all like that. It is never my intent to rip off the store, hoard items, etc. I want to save on items that I use on a daily basis. My total was over $100 (meat, beer and produce pushed the limits) --- I spent quite a bit of my hard earned money --- Krogers would have loved to have had me. Enough ranting, here are the deals that I got:

Cocoa Butter - 16 oz bottle - Free with Baby Club Coupon (saved $3.49)
Lysol Cleaner - 2 bottles B1G1 - .70 total after (2) 50 cent coupons.
5 Smart Ones Meals - $9.40 after $2 off 5 entrees coupons
Hunts Tomatoes - 6 cans B1G1 - $1.14 after (3) 50 cent coupons
Betty Crocker Potatoes  - 2 Boxes B1G1 - .19 cents total after (2) 40 cent coupons.
2 cans of Crescent Rolls 3 for $5 - .67 each after (2) $1 coupons
2 Dole fruit bowls  - $.99 each after (2) 50 cent coupons
Rubbing Alcohol - free with baby club coupon (saved .85)
Hand Sanitizer - free with baby club coupon (saved .99)

I didnt list all 70 items, just the really good deals.

My total before Coupons: $151.14
Saved: $43.73
Total OOP: $107.41

I spent more today than I have in quite a long time. It proves that my husband can really blow the budget out of the water and I dont have the will power to stop him. Oh well, you only live once!

I am glad that I listed these out, lots of things seem to have found their way into the cart. I wasnt fully aware of the total price, especially the beer and ham. I knew I shouldn't have left him alone while I was picking out my frozen meals for the week. I guess my husband is breaking me in for when a child will do this.

Target Price Break Find

OK, I found a wonderful deal at Target. I went in intending to use a $2 off 2 Glade products coupon. Target has the gel scents candle holders on a price break for $1.50 each (normally $4). I snatched up 6 of the holders ( opened a couple of boxes to get the $2 coupons). I ended up paying $3.00 plus tax on all 6 items ---- an amazing $21 savings! My teammates at work will be getting Glade candle holders for Christmas --- of course I will get some candles to throw in there but I should skate through these gifts with minimal out of pocket, I am loving this!!!
