PUBLIX New Coupon Policy

So a little birdie just gave me a heads up about the new Publix coupon policy! The stores will start letting us know about it around the 14th of May and then on the 23rd they will implement the change. So excited it’s nothing that will be take away from us saving money at Publix!! Here are the basics to the policy:

-Unless your store decides to change the competitors they take it will stay the same (still up to the store)

-Still double coupons in our area

-Still take one MQ and one Store Q (whether it is Publix or competitor) per item

-Still take IP’s

-Takes Pharmacy coupons in the Pharmacy only (for RX)

-Mgr approval needed for coupons over $5

-$ off $ coupons are limited to one Publix AND one competitor coupon per order but order has to total amount of both to use both

-Still give overage in cash if you want it

Mally's perspective on Breastfeeding

First let me clarify.  I am a breastfeeding supporter.  I breastfed Mally for her first 8 weeks and wish it would have worked out so I could have done it her entire first year.  So a few weeks ago Mally and I saw a breastfeeding Mom in the mall.  Mally had a million questions about what that baby being "on" that Momma's boobie was all about.... I didn't think much of it and just said "she is feeding her baby milk I fed you that way when you were born.  Its natural God gives Mommies milk for their babies when they are born."

Well fast forward a couple of weeks after Mally has had time to soak in that information.  She comes up to me last night and lays her head on my chest and says "WOW Momma I just can't believe I drank milk out of your big ole boobies when I was a baby... that's just crazy.... but I am pretty sure they tasted like vanilla wafers"

Let's get it started....

As I sit down to finally start my first blog post Mally walks in the room so excited.... "Momma Momma look what I found in the bottom of the bag.... a coupon a coupon!!!" It reminded me of how I should have started a coupon blog 2 years ago when I started couponing (hindsight is always 20/20).  The coupon was for $.75/1 Sunsweet Prunes (Mally knows them as yummy giant gummies)

I am sure this blog will have some money saving tips, coupon deals and I am sure I will post some "freebie" stuff from time to time just because I love that and it is so much fun.  I will also keep you posted when I am teaching coupon classes and let you know how you can book one yourself. 

Most of all I will be bringing you up to date with the happenings of our family.  The funny things that happen to us or the bad things that are so bad you have to laugh to keep from crying.  My 5 year old daughter Mally gets quite the reponse on facebook with her wit and humor for the past 2 years.  So I will be posting both old and new stories or "Mallyisms" as they have come to be called by others.  I can fit more on a blog then a status update. 

I will end my first offical blog post with this quick story.... So we are in Costco (large discount warehouse store) and we were in a hurry.... Mally exclaims "Mommy I have to go potty" I replied "Mally you just went potty before we got here.... is it a #1 or a #2?" She says "Oh Momma it's a #1 and #6!!!!!!!"
