Ask the Readers: Help a New Publix Shopper
March 2, 2012
Okie dokie guys, it’s time for you to weigh in and help another I Heart Publix reader! What suggestions would you have for someone who asks the following:
I am new to Florida and am having a hard time getting the sales right at Publix. I am spending more OOP than I should be and I was just looking for some suggestions on what I can do.
I am trying to plan a menu and stick to it as much as I can but that has been difficult. I am also finding things to be more expensive here than they were in Texas. I also am trying to cut out as much processed food as possible. I know that will make for higher bill, but I am finding what happens most is I get to the store and the item I thought was on sale isn’t, or the item I have a coupon for is still more expensive than the store brand. Do you have any suggestions for how to get started at Publix (especially as a Florida Publix shopper)? I don’t know anyone here yet so I can’t even ask around, so thanks for your help!
What part of Florida are you in? I have found that some Publix are sligh higher than others…example is that the Lake City Publix is higher than the Middleburg one. So you may want to check different ones out. Also I never plan menus personally…I inventory my pantry then see whats on sale first try to create a meal from that.
I live in north Florida and I understand your challenge of adjusting to a new place … stores, etc. A few years ago I stopped shopping at Publix because the prices were higher than Walmart … but last year when I started couponing I started back to Publix … the first few months you may have to shop between stores to get a stockpile built up … we are retired and there is only the two of us … took me about 3 months or so … I was shopping at CVS for milk … buying it on sale there and also using any Carebucks I have accrued … Walgreens has sales that can be combined with coupons … I stockpile a few items at a time … I am not a shelf clearer … I am at a point now where I am shopping mostly from the BOGO deals at Publix and combine that with coupons as much as possible … having a stockpile I think is the key … because once it is built your shopping trips will be mostly filling in as the sales come about … this month has been a good month for us … the past few weeks I only spent $30 each week … which is very unusual but every so often it happens … but this month I need to replenish some of my meat … so I will watch for the sales and buy accordingly … I will be spending a lot more this month because of that … menus are created from the sale flyer and my stockpile weekly. it takes rethinking how you shop … my husband is amazed … good luck … I have confidence you will figure this out in time … good luck
I think that was good advise Kellie gave Im the same way I startes my stock pile by only getting the item that are on BOGO and matching the coupon to those items and as you go along you will see the value of what you are saving. It took me about four months to really understand Q’s and you should also take a class this will HELP alot. Good luck to you.
I am finding that, living in Florida as a couponer can be tough when you are just starting out.
When I first started, I noticed that couponing wasn’t about getting the items that i wanted right away, but about getting the items that were the best deals. Eventually over time your stock pile will grow to have almost everything you need for the meals your family loves.But when I first started, I really had to weigh things out and say ‘Do I buy this now just because the family wants it, or do I wait for a stock pile deal?’
Since we don’t get double coupon deals here at Publix in Florida, we don’t have the luxury of buying random items and still snagging a great deal.Our trips have to be carefully planned and ‘By the book’ in order to save.
But there is hope! My stock pile is very large, and I owe that all to Publix, as I barely shop anywhere else.
Tips:
*If you are trying to cut back on processed foods, watch out for the sales that include coupon matchups to ‘Whole Foods’. Many Publix locations accept coupons from Whole Foods.
*Publix often has sales on organic foods,Fruits, & Veggies. However, when the sales come around,STOCK UP and take full advantage of that sale! Because you may not see a sale on that item for a few months.
*Florida Couponers have been getting some really good coupons in the mail and the Sunday paper. Depending on what region you live in, you may be skipping over some awesome coupons. If you cannot find them, some coupon clipping services offer them in groups of 10 or more.Take advantage of those by breaking your transaction up as many times as needed to reap the benefits. (Ex: $5 off $50 Coupon. Everytime your order reaches $50 Have your cashier stop the transaction so you can use multiple coupons)
Hope this helps!
Ask your store manager about the $X/$XX coupons. I have three different Publix where I am and two downsouth by my mother and all five Publix say you don’t have to separate your transactions with those coupons. You just have to make sure your total equals or is greater than the sum of those coupons. Saved me a ton of time especially shopping with a 3 yr old.
Amanda, you’re absolutely correct. I work at the Service Desk at Publix in Orlando. If you have a coupon good for $5 off a $30 order, and you buy $90 worth of groceries (before tax and coupons), you can use 3 of those $5 off $30 order coupons. I should note, however, that if you’re using Albertson’s $5 off $50 order coupons, the fine print on those says that you have to purchase $50 AFTER other coupons are applied. When we accept competitors’ coupons, we do follow the rules printed on them.
Did we find out what part of Florida our new-to-FL shopper lives in?
I have that problem too. I don’t eat things that are processed so it is very hard to keep a low OOP at Publix when you are trying to eat healthy food. I try to buy at publix only when the deals are worth it and supplement with with other supermarkets. I do this: I try to get other flyers from surrounding supermarkets and “food shop” at home first.I write down where I can get my meats the lowest,produce,dairy, etc. and stock up so I don’t have to make multiple trips during the month. i know with gas prices you maybe not want to run around,but by being organized and setting a day just to shop,your OOP will be lower and you wont have to sacrifice your healthy eating habits.
If your store accepts Winn-Dixie competitor coupons: I believe the enjoythecity.com deal for leap year is still ongoing until Tuesday (buy 5 books and use the code “leap” to get them all for $29… the books include $100 in Winn-Dixie coupons, plus others for restaurants/activities you may use). Bottom line – These coupons are $5 off $30 so they really help with produce and milk that are rarely on sale/have matching coupons.
Publix store brand is great! If Publix brand is cheaper, than get it!
I don’t meal plan too much. Maybe I’ll have an idea of what I’d like to cook for a few of our meals over the next week or two. I always use the Publix flyer to help me, varying my shopping list/meal plan based on what is on sale. For instance I typically only buy asparagus and have it with meals when it is on sale.
Be flexible and not brand/product specific. I know it’s hard and we all have those products we cannot live without! But try new things and you might be surprised. Also, depending on where you live, you occasionally can get items like powdered garlic in the ethnic section for cheaper.
I love that Publix has the online Weekly Ad + Grocery List feature! You view the weekly ad online and can click on a product to add it to your list. Then at the end of the weekly add, when you re-view your list, you get a prompt that asks if you would like to remove the items that are no longer on sale. You can send your grocery list (as a link by text) to your Smartphone (or hubby’s phone if I send him to do the shopping). The grocery list feature keeps me organized by having it all on an easily accessible list, organized by aisle (!), and you can mark if you have a coupon for something. There is a notes section, which is where I make notes about the coupon flyers mentioned on blogs, so I remember to ask Customer Service for a copy.
I got the enjoy the city books last time this deal was around, but I’m skeptical to do so this time. Winn-Dixie was bought out by Bilo about a month ago. I’m afraid if they change the stores to Bilo stores, the WD coupons will no longer be good at Publix. I’m afraid to spend $29 and then not get to use $29 worth of WD coupons. I don’t think I’ve used any of the otehr coupons from the last books. Any thoughts or info on the Bilo/ WD store buyouts?
From what I have read about the buy out they are planning on leaving Winn-Dixie stores as the are name wise.
I had the same problem when I moved down here from Chicago a few months ago. The prices here were a lot higher, and while I was a big couponer before, having to start over on a stock pile after a big move was making my grocery budget go through the roof. After a few months I learned some of the couponing perks down here–like finding out what stores your Publix takes competitor coupons from, and just generally having a new understanding of what is a good enough deal down here to stock up on, and what things to buy just enough to get by until your stockpile is more built up. At first, I was doing a lot of shopping at Walmart and BJ’s to just get necessities that I didn’t have in my pantry yet. However,after being here five months, I have a nice stockpile, I almost only shop at Publix for groceries (their coupon policy and customer service far outways other stores). At first, I thought Publix was so expensive, but now I really love them, and the deals you can get. Give yourself a little time, and your budget will start to come down to a more comfortable level.
Great advice abouve and I agree. I would just add, for you to check out what you store considers a competitor. Mine considers EarthFare a competitor and I can get great coupons on organic items from them and use them at Publix. Also, in addition to my stock pile items, I visit my local farmer’s market for my fresh produce and get most of my meat from Winn Dixie. I know that makes for several stops but being here in Florida we are lucky to have such great produce available mostly year round. Good Luck.
I moved FROM Florida 19 years ago and in our new location I just kept hauling home food because the prices were so great in comparison to what I was used to. Then I realized that the prices were what the prices were always like here and I could stop stuffing my kitchen with food! Moral of the story is that prices are high in Florida, my family still lives there and I am always shocked at the prices. I have noticed from looking at the ads when visiting my parents that Publix may just not be the store to shop at in Florida as many others have better prices and deals.
I used to think that way, too. but not so much anymore. And on some items it is true that you can find them cheaper elsewhere if they don’t go on sale … BOGO deals at Publix combined with coupons (you can use 2 coupons for each item in the BOGO deal) makes the price even lower than Walmart! My store will accept Target coupons also so on those occasions when I have two Target coupons and 2 manufacturer coupons along with the BOGO sale I walk away with a great deal! That’s the time to stockpile!
I agree Kathy! I’m in Florida and used to do all my shopping on the Navy base because the prices were cheap and I didn’t have to pay sales tax, but I stopped shopping there. I just shop Publix’s BOGO deals and save a ton more money. I use a meal plan as well (keeps my hubby from wanting to go out and eat all the time) but I plan my meals according to the sales ad. We eat fresh produce and fresh meat, no canned junk, and I only pay about $40 OOP for two adults (one currently pregnant) and one three year old. That $40 also includes a growing stockpile for the baby on the way.
I not only shop at Publix,I am a former Publix employee and married to a Publix Assistant Store Manager. I found the best thing for me is to stock pile my coupons. I plan my meals based on whats on sale and what i have stock piled in my pantry and coupon binder. Publix prices are based on their location, the one I shop at has lower prices because it’s located across the street from a Walmart, as apposed to a store that’s by maybe a busier location with not a lot of grocer competition. I also scour the aisle when i shop for coupons located on products or shippers and displays and know which competitor coupons you can use at the location. I write to the companies of products that i can’t usually find in the news paper. If you’re looking for inexpensive produce your best bet might be a farmers market or flea market even though Publix has the best produce in my opinion it’s always the bulk of my shopping expenses.
I’m not sure when you started couponing in Florida, but I would suggest that other than great cereal deals lately the sales have been less than exciting. Come summer months, deals on meats will start arriving as well as fruits and vegetables. If you have the money, buy a freezer and freeze the meats and veggies so that you can use them in the winter months. I think has summer approaches hopefully we will see sales on meat. But, with that said, I’ve heard the summer predictions of gasoline, so who knows where prices will go from there.
One thing that is difficult to plan your shopping trip is the fact that many of the best couponing sites are not in Florida and thus they have different prices or deals. I still look at the websites and make a list of what I want, but then I compare my list to the Publix flyer that arrives weekly at my house so I know exactly how much items are. Also, you might have a Publix Sabor in your area. Note that Publix Sabor does not have the same great sales or prices as a normal Publix.
You’re in Florida- find a farmers market! I got crazy good deals yesterday (like HUGE squash that were 4/$1)
I personally find I get much better deals in FL than I did in GA (who doubles). Just take note of competitors Qs when you can (ask your store who they accept) and always figure out those moneymakers!
You’ll be fine- give it time and you’ll learn the cycles enough to know when to stock up!
I suggest getting advice from someone who lives in your city. That way, you get information based on the stores that you might actually go to. Also, they will know the quirks (i.e.coupon policies, sales patterns) of the local Publix stores. Good luck!
I have never used this (family has tons of food allergies) but I have had friends who love this site
http://emeals.com/how-it-works
You can do a meal plan based on what is on sale at Publix. It will take a while to get to know your shopping grounds… Hope this helps
Another site that meal plans around Publix sales is foodonthetable.com. A few weeks ago they were offering free membership. I signed up but haven’t looked through the entire site yet.
I think making up a menu is a good idea. But in order to save money, you may need to adjust your menus to what is on sale. I would concentrate your efforts first on learning all you can about the Publix store that you shop at most.
Florida sales for Publix stores start on Thursday and end the following Wed. Inside of each Publix store is a “roundabout” where you can pick up the sales flyer, as well as any “special” sales flyers like the Yellow Advantage Buy (YAB) or the Green Advantage Buy flyer (GAB). The YAB and GAB will list products on sale as well as have coupons for Publix and coupons that are manufacturer coupons. These sales last around 3 weeks (date is on each flyer). If you don’t see them on the Roundabout, then ask if they have any at Customer Service desk. Some Publix have had problems with folks taking more than they need, therefore, Customer service may have some behind the
counter.
Although Publix has a corporate coupon policy, each store has their own competitors (some take Target coupons, Whole foods, etc, and some don’t) You can also get a copy of the policy at the Roundabout or customer service. Knowing their policy is the first big step in shopping at Publix to save money.
This web site as you may have noticed is a HUGE help in learning about couponing at Publix, as well as at other stores. I would suggest that you click on ” Q & A” “Basic Information”, etc. at the top of this page.
Every Monday, Michelle posts the new upcoming sales at Publix. This will help you to know what is on sale at Publix before our sale begins on Thursday. (Michelle lives in Georgia, so her sales start on Wed. and you probably have noticed some of the prices are different from FL and some of the sale prices will be the same), use this as your guide. You can make up your grocery list ahead of time, then when the sale begins on Thursday you will be able to decide when you want to shop, what you want to buy and what coupons you need. When you have time, go to the forum on here. I have learned alot from the members there. You will too as well as maybe get some other questions you have answered. Hope this helps.
My advice would be to make a list using Michelle’s ad prices and recommendations on Monday, then add to it on wednesday with the Happy Report.
Then, get the publix ad online from Publix.com where you can see the prices for your store and what’s on sale. There ARE differences as you noted by region.
Use your shopping list to plan your menus or your stockpile.
Prices are higher here in Florida for sure.
I print my printable coupons as soon as I see them then pull them out when I’m preparing my shopping list. I shop on the weekend which gives me time to benefit from the other “finds” are reported on IHP. Also, since the new report is posted on Monday, you’ll be able to see what items on your list might be coming up on sale in the next ad and then you can postpone buying them until the following ad week.
Also if they are sold out of the item you want, make sure to get a raincheck at the customer service desk … if your Publix is anything like mine … you will absolutely love shopping there … the store is clean … the staff goes out of their way to be helpful … I am so glad to be back shopping there!
I have been couponing for seven months now, and I have come to realize that Publix is the best place to shop in my area, though if I had one close to me, I would consider Winn-Dixie; they have similar sales, reward programs, and lower prices. I like all of the above suggestions, and would just suggest you go online to the Publix website and join the baby club and pet club if you have pets. I don’t know if you could do it, but I would suggest the baby club even to someone that does not have a baby, b/c you get Publix store coupons in the mail for not just baby items. They are great, I have gotten $1 off dairy, $1 off meat, FREE hand sanitizer, FREE rubbing alcohol, really great coupons from the baby club. That goes for the preschool pals club as well, and the free Publix magazine subscription that includes coupons as well.
First, food in Florida is expensive!! I am always shocked when I go visit my parents in Michigan when I see how much cheaper food is! I definately would follow the above suggestions and take a coupon class. I found what also help me alot is at the end of the week Michelle will post links so people can tell us what they saved and how. Most people will break down what coupons they used etc. I would look for people that live in Florida (since we dont have doubles down here) and use what they posted to tailor my shipping trips. That sounds like the lazy way I guess but I was so overwhelmed when I first started. This really helped me figure out how to use coupons to my best advantage and once I got used to doing it, it became much easier!
Definitely stick with the meal planning – I do a weekly meal planning based on what is on sale that week and what I have in my stockpile and freezer. It may help if you have a set budget to devote a certain percentage to weekly groceries and the rest to stockpile items. I generally know what my bill will be before going to the store (take the prices Michelle lists for Atlanta and round up – i.e if she lists something as $2.49 you can be sure it will be $2.99 in Fl – or use Publix curbside prices).
Also, if you work, remember FL has no state income tax so maybe that helps offset grocery prices some
You’re probably pretty overwhelmed right now, but it’ll get better. One of the things I would NOT recommend right now is looking at what other shoppers say they are saving. It’s easy to become discouraged very quickly by expecting to match them – I’ve been couponing for a couple of years and still don’t, but I still save way more than I would if I didn’t coupon. I agree with most of the suggestions above – choose your Publix and find out which competitor coupons that particular store accepts. Work on your stockpile, it’s easier when you concentrate on what’s on sale that week as well as Michelle’s sneak peek of the upcoming week. Your stockpile will grow in no time. I personally don’t make menus, but do use my pantry stockpile and what happens to be on sale. Michelle’s Super Deals each week help with knowing what the good deals are, although her prices are slightly different than ours in Florida. I don’t want to badmouth another store, but do be careful when comparing their BOGO items to Publix BOGO items. I find their sales are often on the same week or one week apart and you’ll be shocked to see how much cheaper Publix is than another store is. Sometimes another store may have a couple of better deals. If so, go for them….but I’d be surprised if you didn’t end up with Publix as your main store. That said, if you NEED something but can’t find it for what you want to pay (peanut butter, fresh vegetables & fruit, eggs, milk, chips, pretzels, condiments, etc.), check ALDI. They don’t accept coupons, you need a quarter for the shopping cart (you get it back
), and take your own bags….MANY of their prices cannot be beat. Also, the Grocery Circular Roundup for your city on allyou.com may help. Last but not least….relax, and welcome to Florida – I hope you love it here!
Jenn- I AGREE! Great positive attitude & GREAT ADVICE !Happy Shopping friends!
I agree with everyone who has posted there are alot of great ideas. Our Publix here if it is close to a Walmart will complete with them so they will lower their prices to match Walmart. Makes Publix shopping even better. Also if you have an IPhone or an IPad I found a free app called “Grocery Pal”. If you know CVS is having a sale you chose the item it will check your area to see if it is the best deal. You can look and see if you have coupons make a list leave yourself notes etc. It will ask for your zip codes then let it work for you. Check it out if you have either phone or pad. Happy Shopping.
To us meal planning is much easier! Fl is very high priced, but there are ways to work with it. I hardly ever buy meat at Publix it is way to high for a family of four. We wholesale buy meat, but to be honest we have been eating less and less meat and it doesn’t make a difference! I do stockpile, but not anything insane mainly on items we use or family. For sure I use competitors coupons. Here that has saved us more than I can imagine. Our budget from shopping for sale items via Publix, Aldi’s, Produce Markets, Target, etc has saved us 50-75%. It isn’t an average some months we splurge, but there are ways. I keep trying to show family members, neighbors, friends ways to do this because it will save you money. Seriously I think your publix competitors seriously have something to do with it. Having Target as a competitor, really helps. Other family lives up N. FL and they have a hard time getting the deals I do because of the competitor coupons.
If you have a produce market it helps I think because it is fresh, awesome quality and they have mark down racks here. If you can, or freezer can there are ways to save there.
On meat I heart Publix gave us the idea of Zaycon foods which was really helpful for our family saving over $22.
Not sure where you live, but if you are in S. Fl would be glad to help ya!
I felt the same why when I moved to Florida about 6 months ago. Then I found this site, I came from a land of double coupons and slightly lower prices and I was just really starting to be smart about my couponing. I live in Jacksonville and Publix is definitely the best place to shop. There BOGO’s are amazing and you should definitely try to find one that accepts competitor coupons like whole foods, fresh market, or native sun if you can. Also try to make sure Target coupons are accepted too they stack great with the manufacturer q’s. I tend to buy a lot of my fruits and veggies at a Farmers market because they can be so much cheaper. I also check this sight every Monday for the new add. I don’t do menus but will definitely check the meat sales for the week. I will say around here Winn Dixie does beat Publix’s meat price alot. If your not to picky about meat you can start stocking up there. I do prefer the steak at Publix to the one at Winn Dixie but will buy the pork and chicken at which ever is cheaper. Also try talking to your neighbors, I have a few I swap coupons and one I really talk deals too.
Hey Nicole, I’m in Orange Park. I’ve been looking for a good farmer’s market up here since my hubby was stationed here. Haven’t been able to find a decent priced one. Where’s the one you shop at (if you don’t mind).
The Jacksonville Farmer’s market is on Beaver St, near downtown. The prices are very low and have tons of produce in stock. My son loves to go and pickout his own fruit and veggies for the work.
I moved from J’ville a few years ago and really miss that Farmer’s market. Great prices!
I am in Gainesville and will add on to what other Floridians have said. First, do find your local farmers market for fresh fruits and veggies. I have a Sams card and tend to make a trip every 3 months or so for chicken breasts, whole chickens and roasts.
Rather than focus on the things you are finding it hard to save on (meat) focus on the things you can save on (frozen veggies, canned tomatoes,-I am not sure how unprocessed you are- etc.) and use these savings to offset your meat, etc. I have a friend who eats no process food, so she focuses her efforts on laundry items, paper goods, personal care items etc. She really focuses the drug stores for many of these items.
I am not sure how you plan your menus. When I first started couponing, I checked Michelle’s site, looked at my local ad and determined what we would use from the ad and bought these items. I then planned my menu from what I had on hand. Also, read the labels of the processed items on sale. You might find a few you can live with.
Also, don’t forget to flag down a fellow couponer in your local store and ask for their suggestions.
coming from the land of doubled coupons (NJ) which I had no idea about – Im surprised how you can get the really cheap items here with the bogo sales matching it with publix coupons and manu or competitors and manu ones.
I cant meal plan bc my husband is a more a meat and potatoes type guy – just keep it simple and he’s happy.
Ive been couponing since May 2011 and just since January Ive been shopping at Publix and its awesome –
just like another reader said – focus on paper products, personal care and detergent and your regular grocery shopping should reduce in costs~
I also don’t like to eat a lot of processed foods. Once a month I go to the local butcher and buy great quality, fresh meats for a fraction of grocery store prices. For example, I buy ground sirloin @ $2.39/lb, fillet mignon @ $6.99/lb, chicken breast @ $1.99/lb and so on. The great thing is the butcher will package them as I need, then I freeze my month’s supply. In addition, I go to the farmers market and buy my fresh fruits and vegetables for cheap!! So, when I go to Publix, I buy mostly BOGO’s with match up coupons to stockpile. Since someone showed me this website, it has made Publix coupon shopping easy! Good luck!!
When I first started couponing, it me about 6 months to build my stockpile and for my spending to go down. It took about 3 months to see any drop in spending at all! The difference was I was bringing home a whole lot more food.
The key to great deals is stacking a manufacturer coupon with a store coupon on top of a sale.
I would also recommend joining the iheartpublix forum. Those people are PHENOMINAL at finding FREE and moneymaker deals every week.
Great advice everyone~ WE love living here in Florida-the Sunshine state. (Proud to say I’m a native Floridian!!)
I have so many couponing friends who live in other states that cannot even touch the deals we can get here. (between our Publix accepting Mulitple store comp.coupons, BOGO & so many other reasons).
I agree, I would recommend to ONLY buy BOGO matched with Manf. coupons & store coupons (4 coupons total per each BOGO deal). I have received $4.00 boxes of cereal for .50 or FREE. You do have to change your way of shopping- you purchase items ONLY on sale (I prefer BOGO first then great deals w/coupons) before YOU EVER RUN OUT OF THEM. NEVER NEVER NEVER PAY FULL PRICE AGAIN FOR ANYTHING!!! lol
You will learn over time how your store sales run on certain items…4 wk, 6 wk, or 12 wk cycles. Try and be flexible with brands…this will change your savings drastically. We do not clear shelves either but will buy up to 3 BOGO deals if it is something we use a lot of (peanut butter, certain cereals, etc).
ALWAYS keep up with the iheart publix FB and deals here-they are AMAZING!! They are my favorite place to get the deals!~
Remember to have fun and meet up with friends who will swap coupons with you…I DO NOT PAY FOR ANY EXTRA COUPONS…I SWAP WITH FRIENDS.
HAPPY SMART COUPON SHOPPING- IT WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE !!
Hey everyone, Thank you so much for your awesome suggestions!! Wow! You guys are great!! I am in Cocoa, Florida and I do not know anyone but my husbands family. Our neighbors keep to themselves and I have only met one other mom so far and I have been in Florida for almost two months!! I would love to get some of the deals you guys are talking about but it is difficult when most of the good coupons and deals are for processed foods. It’s to the point now where I buy a paper and there are only five or six coupons for things that we would actually eat. I like the suggestion of just sticking to paper products and cleaning stuff. I have been to a few farmers markets here and they have one or two organic fruits and vegetables. I’m not saying I only buy organic fruits, veggies and meats, but if I could I definitely would. I actually got a pretty good deal on grass-fed beef at Publix the other day which was really nice. I have kind of a stockpile started but it is quite difficult with us trying to cut all the processed stuff out. I still have all ten of the knorr rices I HAD to buy bc the sale was so good. Publix has a ton of great healthy food, but there are no coupons for the $4.50 flax and chia seed chips that are super good for you but there are 8 million coupons for doritos or lays or what have you. There haven’t been any Seventh Generation diaper coupons for a few months but there are tons of huggies and pampers coupons floating around. My daughter is allergic to regular diapers though so theres not really an option there. If anyone is in my area and would like to meet up and talk coupons, that would be great. Find me on Facebook or email me at sashamaier@gmail.com
