While this is not a deal like some couponers get, I do try to buy items that we actually use. This weekly trip is $92.30 less than my old $150 a week budget. Therefore, I have a nice hunk to go into my savings account this week! This is the first time I have tried to figure out my actual cost before hand so I'll update after I shop and let you know how it goes.

*weighed items are an approximate guess.

While this is not the moneymaker it was last week, it's still a pretty darn good deal. When you register here at BeneVia you'll be allowed to print a $5/1 four pack of nutrition drinks. When you purchase BeneVia at Publix and use the $3/1 Publix coupon from the Green Advantage Flyer you can get it for as low as $0.49! Regional prices may vary.

Thanks, I Heart Publix!

Since I spoke about coupon policies in my last post, I decided to post the policies of the stores where I shop. While I keep them in my coupon binder in a file type pocket, I will be transferring them to protective sleeves soon.

Without further ado, here are the coupon policies for the stores where I shop the most.

CVS Coupon Policy (Thanks to Krazy Coupon Lady)

Publix Coupon Policy (Thanks to Centsible Living)

Target Coupon Policy

Walmart Coupon Policy

Walgreen's Coupon Policy (Thanks to Krazy Coupon Lady)

The three policies that I posted from other blogs are policies that you can get by contacting the stores from their main website.

Winn Dixie Coupon Policy
