Freebie Day...Yeah

January 4, 2014 Freebie Day....Yeah! As promised, today I ventured into Publix to grab a few things in the unlikely event we get snow this week. My shopping trip was a worthwhile effort as I scored two free 12 packs of Coke and Mellow Yellow thanks to the www.mycokerewwards.com program which I just love. (We will blog about them in a separate post.) This was a savings of $10.98 since I also picked a free package of bacon thanks to an in-store promotion of buy 2 packs get one free, a savings of $5.99. Yes, we eat a lot of bacon in my house. Last but not least, I ended the trip with a free pack of Peanut M&Ms, a savings of .99. Altogether my savings totaled $31.42 off a bill that would have been $102.79. I paid $71.37 thanks to the freebies and other coupons and sales. 30% is not bad for this small trip but I know I can do better. Day 1 Savings: $31.42.
