[...] 60 coupons, you will in essence save $86.40! I would also encourage all of you to check out my Follow You Monday video filmed back in February in Tampa, Florida at a Publix store…after coupons, we spent $3.45 out [...]

I know some of these videos are a bit older, but I just wanted to say how much I have been enjoying watching them. They’re great. I loved watching the video from Publix (though I don’t have one in my area and I’m super jealous). The next time you mention the $80+ per hour, mention that it’s also not taxable income. This makes it a much bigger coo!!!

Seriously, for some of us, it makes more economical sense to be a stay at home mom because this is not taxable income. Yet the savings are as real as they would be if we held a full time job.

While I would LOVE to have a Publix my area, I am very fortunate to have a grocery store that allows you to work toward gas rewards. I’ve not bought a gallon of gas in years!!! Our grocery bill and our gas bill are all in one!!! I love it! If I were to work 40 hours a week, all I’d manage to do would be to get caught up in the rat race, as I did for WAYYYY too many years. I can’t make this kind of money from a job.

Oh yes, Publix is the best! Ever since I stopped shopping at Super Wal-Mart and started doing 90% of my grocery shopping at Publix I’ve cut my grocery bill about 95%! (I spend less than $5 a week on groceries!) I love Publix!! (I even drive 55 miles one way to shop there once a week Totally worth it!)

Hi Collin, I shop at Publix in Lutz Florida, but have never been able to save anywhere near the amount that Sarah and you saved, I would love to find out more on how to meet up with shopping buddies like Sarah. I am new to your website and couponing and have decided to shop at Citrus Park Publix from now on. Hope you can help me with a shopping bubbie, I love your webite and enjoy your Monday video’s very much. I just wish I had found out about your site a lot earlier. You are awesome

Collin!!! I just moved to Colorado six months ago from Jacksonville, FL and I MISS PUBLIX SOOO MUCH!!! I saved so much money there it’s unbelievable! I seriously wrote it on my pros/cons list when we were deciding to move as a big ‘ol CON that we would be leaving the land of Publix!!!!! BOOO HOOOOO!!!

Anyway, I wanted to point out as well that our Publix in Jacksonville took Walgreens Register Rewards as well, because they considered them a competitor! How awesome is THAT?!?

I would love for you to come visit my hometown and teach me how to coupon at these stores that I’m so not used to yet!

I loved your video! You’re awesome!!!

I live in the land of no doubles and hardly any coupon-friendly stores at all (Sacramento area, CA). Coupons are still amazing though. I have saved money on so many non-grocery items, but grocery savings are very few and far between. I mainly just buy food at Winco.

WOW!!!! You guys did awesome! I am sitting here watching this, excited for the deals that you got—but, at the same time depressed because we don’t have any stores around here that come even close to that. We don’t have stores that double, most are retarded about coupons and don’t understand them. I so wish that we had some good stores near by to be able to join in on the awesome coupon deals. Thanks so much for your site, I love looking at it everytime I get on the computer.

You need to convert them! Show them receipts..show them your stockpile! It took me 10 months to convince some of my family to start…now they make great couponing buddies!

Amy, if you are driving 30 minutes to Orange Beach, you may want to try the Fairhope Publix. Apparently they are much more liberal with their coupon policy. I was at Frances from Frugal Fairhope’s coupon class a few weeks ago with a couple of ladies from Orange Beach, and they were saying that the Orange Beach Publix would not allow many of the things that Frances was saying we could use at Fairhope. I didn’t know they were opening one in Foley, but I’m sure excited that we are getting one in Daphne this summer! How do you get the $10 gift card?

I just watched your Publix shopping video and I was wondering how do you keep all this organized. Do you make a list of cupons you find on Cupons.com and store cupons to mach them and stake them? YOu must have a very good memmory. I am very impressed. I just started cuponing and I am teaming us with a couple of girl friends her in Colorado Springs. I love and hate it in the same time. Kee up the good work. Vio

Congratulations, Sarah — that was great! Around here (Tulsa area) we don’t have very many coupon-friendly grocery stores. Food Pyramid will double coupons up to 50 cents, and Homeland, a store not near enough to me to make the trip worth it, will double up to a dollar, but only one like coupon per customer per day. Otherwise, we’re on our own! If anyone knows of better options in our area, please share!

So impressed with your Publix purchases. I live in the Tampa Bay area and am a frequent Publix shopper, but have never saved as much as you girls. Tell me how Sara created her list. Did she only use SouthernSavers website, or does she have other resources? I’ve never managed to walk away paying less than $5 out of pocket. I’m very inspired to improve my couponing capabilities!!!!! Please share, Sara and Collin!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE your videos Collin. And thanks for introducing your sis. Does anyone else have the same problem I’m having, in that I can’t hear you when you are not close to the audio on the camera?

great video, with we had Publix in MN.
one question–how much time did it take you to assemble the coupons and shopping list?

My cousin and I do our shopping together. We were just discussing how much it helps to have a couponing buddy. Saves time, you can split big quantity stock up sales, you get more coupons-she print them and I print them-, lots of plusses to having a buddy!!

Does any one know where the Band Aid coupons came from?? I’ve been looking for them and can’t find them.

I too, buy items that are free or provide overage, and then donate them to all kinds of Christian Organizations. Lots of my items right now are going to Haiti. My cousin’s church in El Dorado, KS has a missionary down there.
