My Publix Shopping List

I'm back at Publix after taking a week off. Here are my favorite deals.

A few points about Publix:

1.) They will double coupons up to .50 cents.
2.) BOGO items ring up at half price, and you only have to buy one item to get the discount.
3.) You can use a coupon on each BOGO item.
4.) Most Publix will accept competitor coupons, check with your store to see who they consider a competitor.
5.) You can stack a Manuf. coupon with a Publix coupon or competitor coupon for additional savings!

It's Fall Consignment Sale Time!

It's time for the fall consigment sales to startup. I love consigment sales! It's where my daughter has gotten most of her wardrobe her whole life. This fall things will change a little for us because she begins school that has a uniform. But I still plan to hit up my favorite consigment sales for play clothes and maybe even a little early Christmas shopping.

Consignment sales are often huge and overwhelming. Here are some tips for making the most of the sales:

1.) Prepare ahead of time! Check your child(rens) closets and make a list of what is needed. Bring the list with you so that you don't forget what you are really looking for.

2.) Set a dollar limit and stick to it. This rule has helped me so much. It's very easy to get carried away and before you know it, you've got $250 worth of clothes in you basket. Do you really need $250 worth of clothes??

3.) Bring cash. Most consignment sales do accept checks and credit cards, but they always take cash. I believe taking cash helps with tip number 2. If I only have $50 dollars on me, then I can only spend $50 dollars.

4.) Bring a basket. Very few consignment sales provide carts or racks to shop. Bringing a laundry basket or a mesh bag will be a lifesaver!

5.) Pick out boys clothes first. There is almost always less boy clothing than girl. The good stuff goes fast. Make the boy aisles your first stop.
