Couponing Gyrls

I special ordered 20 12-pks of Seagrams and NONE came in! They claim the warehouse is out of stock..us couponers have killed them on this deal lol. Anyhow, plan B was to hit as many Publix stores as I could do before my kids got cranky and we went to 5! Got lucky at 2 only so this is 2 separate transactions put together.

8- Seagrams 12 pks @ $5.49/ea on sale buy 2, get 2 free

This was today's big haul, split into 2 transactions, my mom did 1 and I did 1. Transaction #1 was $0.41 total and transaction #2 was $0.09 total! The reason that there are 9 pints of milk instead of just buying a gallon is because I needed fillers for the item-to-coupon ratio in order to get my transactions to go smoothly without needing to wait for a manager override and hold up the line. The pints worked as my fillers and also sucked up the overage plus I needed milk. I didn't get the free Seagrams 12 pk sodas today as my special order of 20 arrives tomorrow (hopefully!) =D  Here's everything that we got:
