I Love a Bargain

Publix is running the gas card promotion again this week.  When you spend $25 in groceries, you can use a $10 off coupon in their flyer to get a $50 BP gas card for $40.  That's 20% savings on gas!  You can get more than one if you have the coupon and make the grocery purchase of $25.










Here are some sale/coupon scenarios to spend $25 before coupons in order to get the deal.  In this case, I did not hand in all of my coupons until I reached the full amount, then I gave the cashier the gas card and the $10 off store coupon in order to meet the requirements, then I handed over my manufacturer and additional store coupons for the final tally.

I did this at two different locations today, and I plan to do it a few more times during the sale.


Trip #1
Lactaid $7.59

These products rang up at about $50 before coupons, plus the gas card for $50 for a total of $100.  After coupons (including $10 off BP gas card in the Publix weekly sale flyer) the total for everything with tax, was $56.99  That includes 50 dollars for gas!
