The Yellow Advantage Buys are additional sales that Publix runs in addition to the weekly ad. These sales run for four weeks. Typically these deals are not as good as the weekly sales, but there is usually at least one or two good deals to be found.
Fall Savings October 11 - November 7:
Sobe Life Water 20 oz. $1
FREE after .50/1 doubled (tearpad)
If you live in FL, GA, NC, SC, TN be sure to save the entire labels from your Sobe bottles for free Sobe items. For more details see the thread here. Post number 5 provides a phone number to obtain the form. I must admit I am disappointed that the promotion for the Southeast did not include the free movie tickets which some areas got.
The following is only a deal if you were planning to buy a deli or bakery item anyway. If you are paying more or buying something that you had not planned to buy then it isn't a deal.
8 Pack Selected Coca-Cola Products 12 oz. bottles
3/$10.00 - I know this is not a deal
$1.33/8 pack after $2 coupon for Deli or Bakery item
Equivalent to paying $1.99 for a 12 pack of 12 oz Cokes. - Which is a good deal.
Note: According to the Rules at MyCokeRewards these packages do not contain points.
Manufacturer's coupons:
There were an above average number of manufuacturer's coupons included in this edition. These coupons say Redeem at Publix because Publix wants to encourage you to use them at their store, but you should be able to use them at any store that accepts manufacturer's coupons. These coupons will not be listed in the Coupon Mom Database or most subscription coupon sales matching services so be sure to add them to your personal database.
$1/1 Gatorade Tiger 8 Pack
.55/2 Hunt's Diced Tomatoes 14.5-28 oz. (if your store doubles the .40/2 coupon (9/21 S) is better as it would be .80/2) Seeing this coupon makes me think that we will not be seeing the BOGO sale I was hoping for.
.55/2 Hunt's Tomato Sauce 15-29 oz.
$1.00/3 Hunt's Tomato Paste 6-12 oz.
$1/2 Hillshire Farm Smoked Sausages
.55/2 Silver Floss Krrrrisp Kraut
$1/1 Ball Park Beef Franks
.75/1 Super Pretzels
Publix Coupon and Rebate:
$1/1 Arm & Hammer Degreaser/Multi surface Cleaner 32 oz or Essentials Cleaner or Multi Refill 2.4 oz - Publix in ad coupon
Try Me Free Rebate for Essentials Cleaners can be found here.
$1/1 manufacturer's coupon can be found here if you are planning to buy it at another store or do not have the Publix coupon. My store will not let me use a Publix coupon and a Manufacturer's coupon together if the Publix coupon states that it may not be used in conjunction with any other coupon. It is my understanding that Publix is refunded by the manufacturer for Publix coupons that have that wording. Not all Publix coupons say that so be sure to check.
For more current Publix deals please check my other Publix posts here.

Menu Planning by Using the Sales Circluar - Eggplant Casserole Recipe
Eggplant is one of my favorite foods. As promised earlier this week, I'm sharing one of my favorite eggplant recipes. My parents made this when we had fresh eggplant from the garden so it brings back several good childhood memories for me.
This is a very simple recipe that can be used as a side dish or as a main dish if you are vegetarian or have a meatless night in your menu plan. Like most casseroles, it travels well so it is great for a potluck dinner or when taking a meal to one who is ill.
I chose to share this particular dish this week since the ingredients are currently on sale at Publix. I wanted to provide an example of being able to reduce your budget by planning a menu around items that can be found on sale and demonstrate that you don't have to eat junk food in order to save money.
Eggplant Casserole:
Recipe makes 9x13 casserole dish. 6 healthy portions. Leftovers can be frozen for homemade "tv dinners".
Ingredients:
2 Smaller Eggplants- Look for firm eggplant with a shiny peel. $1.29/lb at Publix
2 28 oz Cans Diced Tomatoes - The Muir Glen Organic Tomatoes are on Advantage Buy at Publix for $1.75/28 oz can see scenario here to get these for FREE.
1 package (tube) of crackers - (like Ritz, Town House, etc.) OR
Substitute the crackers for the Progresso Bread Crumbs that are on sale BOGO and have a $1/2 printable coupon.
1 8oz package of shredded cheese - Publix has their brand on sale for $2.00 this week. Not the best deal, but at least it is discounted some.
Directions:
Slice eggplant into 1/3 inch pieces. (Inside of eggplant should be firm and light in color. The seeds will be visible throughout.)
Salt and soak eggplant in water for 30 minutes. This removes the bitter taste often associated with eggplant.
Spray casserole dish with oil (I use canola)
Remove eggplant from water and rinse salt off of eggplant.
Place first layer of eggplant into dish.
Drain tomatoes.
Layer first can of tomatoes on top of eggplant.
Place second layer of eggplant.
Layer second can of tomatoes on top of eggplant.
Crumble crackers into crumbs. Tip: Crumble them in the package to reduce mess.
Sprinkle cracker crumbs (or bread crumbs) over eggplant.
Top with cheese.
Heat oven 350 degrees.
Cover pan with aluminum foil.
Place in oven and cook for 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes.
Cheese should be melted and eggplant should appear dark in color.
Serve over bed of rice (I allow at least 2/3 cup per person, more if serving as main dish.)
For an Easy Meal Serve With These Other Sale Items:
Barber Stuffed Chicken Breasts (2 pieces) $4.99 BOGO
$1.50/1 after $1/1 (9/7 S1) OR $1/1 Printable Coupon
Publix Classic Salad Mix 16 oz. $1.99 BOGO
A complete meal for 6 for just over $2 per person, or skip the chicken and save even more!

Kroger Catalina Promotions
I have two great Catalina offers to share with you. The first is from Sundown Vitamins and the second is from Fleishman's Yeast.
Get Paid To Take Your Vitamins!
In reality it is get paid to take vitamins off of the shelf. These are great items to donate if you don't use them. I know that my regular readers remember the Powerade Deal. This time the promotion comes from Sundown Vitamins.
Buy 2 bottles of Sundown Vitamins that are on sale BOGO this week.
Prices vary depending on the type of vitamin, but the Folic Acid and Vitamin D 400 are less than $3 for two bottles. You can mix and match the types to meet your needs and since Kroger BOGO items ring up 1/2 price there is no need to worry about items being of equal value.
Use one coupon for each bottle and use the appropriate coupon value depending on the price of the bottle.
$1/1 (7/27 S or 10/5 RP) OR $3/1 (9/28 RP)
As you are checking out you will receive a $2.00 coupon off anything during a future shopping order (expires 2 weeks after purchase).
When I did this the Catalina machine also printed a coupon for $2/2 Sundown Vitamins that can be used to repeat the deal.
Example:
Buy:
Folic Acid $1.34/1
Folic Acid $1.34/1
Pay Out of Pocket:
.68/2 after 2 $1/1 coupons or 1 $2/2 coupon
Receive:
$2 coupon for future visit AND
$2/2 coupon to repeat deal
Unrealized Profit (You shouldn't claim the profit until you actually use the Catalina coupon.):
$1.32 - tax (.19 for me)
$1.13
There were no promotional dates listed for this Catalina offer. At HCW it was reported to have ended on October 4, but as of October 9 it was still working. I expect that it will continue working at least through the weekend, but I can't guarantee it.
Fleischmann's Yeast
Just this past weekend I was saying it was cheaper to buy yeast in bulk, but apparently that may not always be the case.
Strip of 3 packets shelf price $1.99
Pay $1.09 after .45/1 doubled (10/5 S1) - This is not a good deal, but you also receive a
.50 Catalina good on any item (not just yeast) in a future visit. Which .60/strip is still not a deal; however, the Catalina is a manufacturer's coupon and since Kroger doubles manufacturer's coupons with a face value of .50 or less the Catalina should double. So after you use the Catalina it is like paying .10/1 strip which is a good deal especially if you do not use yeast on a regular basis.
If you are looking for an even better deal wait until the yeast goes on sale. Since the Catalina offer is not scheduled to expire until December 31, the yeast is likely to go on sale before this offer ends. Even with just a 10 cent discount in the price, the yeast would be FREE after the coupon and Catalina so be sure to periodically check for an unadvertised price reduction.
Like I have said previously, various types of traditional promotions including Catalina offers are where the real deals are often found. Please visit my blog again for information about future promotions as I hope to make this a regular feature. You can find more current Metro Atlanta (Southeast Region) Kroger deals that I have posted here.
