Combining Coupons

The trick to combining coupons is to find a grocery store that allows this to happen. Publix is the best when it comes to doing this (in my opinion). To combine...you find a manufacturer coupon and put it with a store coupon. I love to combine my manufacturer coupons and a competitor coupon (such as Super Target). Be on the lookout for the flyers in the lobby at Publix. They also have GREAT store coupons that can be combined with MQ's. (Remember my rotel and aleve deal) Doing this allows me to get items CHEAP and sometimes FREE.

This upcoming week at Publix, Quaker Chewy Granola Bars are BOGO. There are manufacturer coupons available AND a target printable coupon is available. So here is a scenario...
$1.49 each - $1.00/2 Q - $.50 TQ = $1.49 for 2

I am not sure if Publix doubles competitor coupons or not. Does anyone else know? If so, your deal would be even sweeter!

Target coupons are available at Hot coupon world

Okay, look at what I just copied from one of my blogs into my grocery list....

Quaker Chewy Granola Bars, save up to $3.07

-.50/1 Quaker Granola bars printable (Target)

-$1/2 Quaker Chewy Bars RP 01/04 or in store dispenser (buy 2, use 2 competitor and 1 manuf coupon makes it .50¢ ea)

(willTarget Qs double?)

Okay--that last sentence I typed myself! Isn't that funny?

I was thinking the exact same thing on the same product!!

How is it that we've used these coupons before, but we are still wondering if Publix doubles them?! Ha! Ha!

I just read the Target coupon, and it doesn't say anything about NOT doubling...so maybe they do!

Of couse, I don't shop Publix until Monday night, so if you find out before me, let me know! :D

I'll shop there earlier than normal this week (on Sunday) because of the big game and of course the mystery item. I think it's going to be coffee which I am about to NEED! Amazing...I used to be such a coffee snob! I didn't even know how to make it until November...now I can't imagine paying for it! How far we come!!
