Publix Coupon Guidelines

1. Publix Takes Competitors Coupons.

2. On B1G1, use two coupons (you are getting two items.)

3. You do not have to buy two of the B1G1 items to get the sale price (In many FL locations you do have to buy both items. Check with your local store).

4. Always combine store (SC) and manufacturer (MFR) coupons. Instead of a SC, you can use a Competitor Store Coupon (CC.)

5. Many Publix locations double manufacturer coupons that are $.50 or less (Tallahassee and most FL locations do not!) Please note, my calculations are for stores that DO NOT double coupons buying two items.

6. Some Publix sales start Wednesday to Tuesday, others are Thursday to Wednesday. Call your local Publix for their sale dates.

Fore mroe coupon guidelines, please refer to the most recent Publix Coupon Policy.

LEGO Party Favors at $1.22/Favor

This post may contain affiliate links or ads. Read my privacy policy and disclosure policy here.

June 28, 2011 by Ashley at Frugal Coupon Living Filed Under: Online Shopping

I find this next deal rather thrilling – especially for those that have kids who love LEGOs.

First, LEGO Party Favor Packs often cost around $20 (as seen on Amazon). They come with 8 favors, 8 LEGO Club Memberships, and 8 LEGOLAND tickets which would be around $2.50 per favor- not too bad.

Right now, though, Toys R Us and ShopRunner have a great marriage running. LEGOFavor Fun Packs are on clearance at Toys R Us right now for $12.98, but they are also included in the B1G1 50% off sale! So two packs are only $19.47 with FREE S&H from ShopRunner. This makes each $1.22 per favor.

To Get Yours:
1.) Sign up for ShopRunner for a FREE 30-Day Trial of FREE S&H on many major websites.
2.) Visit the Toys R Us page at ShopAtHome.com for 1% cash back ($5 in your account for first time purchases.)
3.) Click Shop Now
4.) Once redirected to the Toys R Us shop – Search for “LEGO Fun Favor Pack”
5.) Add 2 packs to your cart – your total will be $19.47 after the 50% discount on the second set
6.) During checkout, sign into your ShopRunner account to get FREE shipping on your purchase

Your final total should be $19.47 shipped plus any applicable tax.

If you sign up for ShopRunner, this deal gets even better. First get a month’s FREE Trial for signing up. ShopRunner is a service that provides FREE 1 – 2 day shipping on many major sites including Toys R Us. Read about How ShopRunner Works in a previous post.

Using ShopRunner for just a few short weeks, I saved well over the annual membership. Try a FREE month’s trial and decide if it is for you.

I wanted to share this LEGO cake with you too.

Thanks, Centsable Momma

Guest Post: 7 Tips to Gardening on a Budget

This post may contain affiliate links or ads. Read my privacy policy and disclosure policy here.

June 28, 2011 by Ashley at Frugal Coupon Living Filed Under: Amazon, Recipe

With the economy the way it is, home gardening is on the rise. Personally, we started gardening this year and are prepared to reap the benefits soon! While preparing and maintaining a garden is hard work, it is also rewarding… emotionally, physically, and can be easy on the wallet! Here are some quick key lessons I’ve learned to help me garden on a budget…

1. Select an area for your garden/Size of your garden– Always consider the amount of space you will have to garden (including a “working” area for you to move around in). Whether it’s a small section or a large space, make sure iron out exactly how much space you’ll have for your garden.

2. Research your options– With the internet at your fingertips, you can google anything! It takes no time to figure out what you’ll need to prepare for your garden!

3. Consider the climate– Before you select which vegetables you would like to plant, consider the weather! The last thing you want to do is to invest in planting a vegetable in the wrong season/weather (only to find nothing growing and wasting your time/money)!

4. Select your vegetables– When selecting your vegetable that you would like to plant, consider the amount of space you’ll need and what work will be involved.

5. Determine a budget– Figure out as much of the costs up front as you can. Depending on your space, consider things like Will you select raised beds? Do you have all of the gardening tools you’ll need? How will you protect your garden? Here are a few budget-friendly alternatives to consider when preparing your garden…

Landscape Cloth (for weed prevention) = Newspaper
Landscape Stakes/Spikes = Wire Hangers
Buying Gardening Tools = Borrow Tools (if possible)
Buying a Trellis = Use Old Broomsticks or Wood

6. Keep a journal– Keep track of everything you’re doing, particularly if this is your first time! This helps you keep track of potentially costly mistakes and help you make better decisions or alternatives for the next season! See an example journal on Amazon.

7. Involve the Family– First… cheap labor! Second, it helps create family memories together and bonding. Third, if you consider the family’s opinions/input, the more interested in it they will become. If you allow the kids make suggestions about planting certain vegetables and allow them to help out in the garden, the more likely they are to eat them!

With our fingers crossed we will have a successful garden this season! Hopefully these frugal gardening tips will help inspire and motivate some to consider gardening. It has truly been a blessing for my family and hope that it is for yours as well!

Publix Weekly Ad Recipe: Not Fried Chicken

This post may contain affiliate links or ads. Read my privacy policy and disclosure policy here.

June 25, 2011 by Ashley at Frugal Coupon Living Filed Under: Publix, Recipe, Store Deals

Coupon Chaos Mama is taking the “fried” out of chicken this week, but still leaving all the flavor. This recipe is intended to pair with Publix’s Current Weekly Ad Sales.

NOT Fried Chicken
Ingredient prices are based on the Publix Circular starting Wed. or Thurs. depending on your location.

Ingredients:

1 1/2 lbs Split Chicken Breast $1.79 lb OR Publix GreenWise Market Split Chicken Breast $3.49 lb

1 cup whole wheat flour $3.79
$1 Arrowhead Mills product

Non-fat or low-fat milk
$1.50 Stonyfield Organic Milk Rolling
$1.50 Smart Balance Milks SS 6/5
$.50 off Omega 3 Milk Organic Valley
$.55 Horizon Organic Milk Plus DHA Half Gallon Rolling

Eggland’s Grade A Best Large Eggs – 12 ct $4/2
$1/2 Eggland’s Best SS 5/1
$.50 Eggland’s Best SS 5/1
$.50 Eggland’s Best, Weight Watchers February 2011

3 cups crushed corn flakes $3.29 (Kellogg’s cereals are B1G1 this week, but looks like cornflakes may not be included)
$1/2 Kellogg’s Corn Flakes
OR
B1G1 Nabisco Whole Wheat Ritz Crackers – 9.5 to 16 oz $3.39
$1/2 Nabisco Crackers SS 6/19
$1/2 Ritz crackers SS 5/15

Lawry’s Garlic Salt – 11 oz or Seasoned Salt – 16 oz $2.99 (Optional)

	Raspberries, Blueberries, or Blackberries – 5.6 to 16 oz $6/3 $.50 Driscoll’s Berries Rolling

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Using 1 1/2 lbs split chicken breasts (thighs or legs will work too), remove the skins then rinse and pat dry. Prepare batter by mixing 1 cup milk and 1 egg together and beating until combined, next stir in 1 cup whole wheat flour until thick. Add a dash of salt and pepper to taste.
Prepare 3 cups corn flakes (or Whole Wheat Ritz crackers) by placing in a Ziploc bag and crushing with a rolling pin(or I smash the heck out of them with the back of spoon- kinda therapeutic). You do want some texture so don’t smash them up too badly. Add 1/4 tsp of salt (you can also use garlic powder or another seasoning salt like Lawry’s) and mix with a fork.
Place batter and crushed corn flakes (or Ritz) in shallow bowls. Spray a cookie sheet with cooking spray or line with foil. Dip chicken pieces first in the batter, allowing the excess batter to drip off into the batter bowl, then place the battered chicken piece into the crushed corn flakes. You may have to press the chicken pieces in lightly to make sure they are coated. Flip and repeat.
Place the dipped chicken on the cookie sheet. Bake at 350 for about 45-60 minutes until golden and crisp. Serve with a mixed berry fruit salad.
