Tips on Saving at the Grocery Store *Giveaway*

Posted by Caryn Bailey 74 Comments

This giveaway is now closed. Thanks for stopping by. The winner is Lala R. Congrats!

It goes without saying that groceries comprise a major part of our budget.  In order to save as much as possible, I cut coupons (when it makes sense), peruse each of our local stores’ ads, comparison shop, and work hard not to deviate from “the list.”  If your local grocery store offers a club card or weekly deals via email, I recommend signing up as an additional way to save on your bill.

Publix,  one of the most popular supermarket chains in the Southeast, is currently running a promotion where you can get a $5 gift card with any $30 purchase from one of the following brands (please see websites for specific product details):

General Mills

Charmin

Totino’s

Pillsbury

Betty Crocker

Tide

Crest

Aussie

Herbal Essences

Luv’s

Purchases must be made between May 16th and June 2nd to quality for the gift card.  Publix offers additional ways to save on their website, including an iPhone app.  One of the tips I like and try to stick to is purchasing store brands when feasible.  You can check out more ways to save on Publix.

Win It!  One of you will win a $25 Publix Gift Card. Simply leave me a comment with your best tip for saving at the grocery store.  Comments will close on June 2nd, 2012 at 11:59 PM PST.

US Residents only. Duplicates and comments not including the above information will be disqualified. Comments are moderated. If you don’t see your comment in a reasonable amount of time, send me an email. Bloggers and non-bloggers may enter. If you don’t want to leave your email address, please be sure to check back for my announcement on the winner. Please note that winners must respond within 48 hours of being announced/contacted or another winner will be drawn.

Want an extra entry? Do any or all of the following and receive an extra entry for each one. Be sure to leave me a separate comment for each additional entry.

Follow me on Twitter and tweet the following (or something like it) “ I just entered a #giveaway to win a @Publix Gift Card @rockinmama  ” Daily tweets are allowed but please put the permalink so I can keep track.

    Best tip for saving money, at Publix, stock up on items that are BOGO and use coupons on those items to make the total really cheap!

    My best shopping tip is to look over the flyer before you go. Publix has it on their website. Then you can look to see if you have coupons before you are at the store.
