Which is your favorite grocery store in Snellville?
For me, it's Publix, hands down.
Best service, most knowledgeable/helpful employees - the prices are good on some things, not so good on others, but overall the service overrides everything else. But here's a list of what NOT to buy at Publix . If you combine coupons (most double) with the buy-one-get-one free deals, you can get lots of stuff free or almost free. They will ask you if you need help, you don't have to hunt someone down. I have never, ever had a bad shopping experience at the Snellville Publix on Scenic Highway in Snellville. As good as it is, the Publix store in Loganville at Cooper Road and Highway 20 is even more incredible, service-wise.
Kroger is okay for the things I don't buy at Publix. You can find some deals there if you pay close attention. Kroger also doubles coupons, but they don't double .35 cent coupons and Publix will.
Aldi's Snellville (Hwy 124/Scenic Hwy) - no name brands, can't use coupons, but they say their savings more than makes up for that. You can use a debit card but no credit cards. You need to bring your own bags. Bring a quarter for the shopping cart. I understand why they do all that, but it can be a pain if that's not what you expect when you walk in there. They buy older fruit and vegetables in order to save money and pass the savings along to you, and as a friend of mine (who is a loyal Aldi customer) told me, you need to plan to eat it right away if you buy it from Aldi's, because it will spoil fast. (Illinois)
Sams Club Snellville (Hwy 124/Scenic Hwy) you need to pay a membership fee. There's too much hassle involved for the savings...if you really know prices and compare you will see that they more than make up their money they save you on the "loss leaders." Loss leaders are the items that are super low, to entice you into the store...then they make up their money on overpriced items. I've always felt like the checkout process is like a cattle drive.

Wal-Mart Snellville (Hwy 124/Scenic Hwy) - Savings on groceries, but if you have a problem like moldy bread (I did), expect a fight with customer service to get your money back. (Headquartered in Bentonville AR)
Target on Scenic Hwy in Snellville also has a grocery section. You can find some really good deals on cereal, dairy, and snacks sometimes. Avoid their condiments the prices on those are sometimes twice what they are from the regular grocery stores. Avoid their laundry detergents. Service: I was denied use of Target store coupons I printed out from the Target website. The Snellville Target would not let me use them, even though they were unexpired, valid Target coupons. It's no use to try to reason with a sales clerk, so I contacted Target headquarters for clarification on their coupon policy, and they never communicated with me.
I have none of these difficulties at Publix. I am very frugal, but good service is worth paying for. Another point for Publix is that if you want to help local people more, Publix is based in Florida and has a large warehouse in Lawrenceville, GA.

$10 off gas cards at Publix
At Snellville Publix stores through Wednesday, you can get a BP or Shell gas card with a face value of $50 for $40 plus tax.
BUT you must get the coupon that's in the weekly sales circular. Look for the sales flier near the front doors of the store.
Some stores (or perhaps all) are limiting to 2 the number of gift cards you can purchase in this deal, and you need to have the actual coupon.
UPDATE: Hubs told me when he used the card at the gas station (in our case, Shell) it was as easy as using a debit or credit card at the pump. So, if you have been concerned that it would be extra trouble or inconvenient, it's not.

Free Tampons and PantiLiners at CVS
CVS Pharmacy has ExtraCare Bucks on CVS Brand Pantiliners ... buy at
.99 cents and get .99 cents back in ExtraCare Bucks. (Limit 2). They
also had 1.49 ExtraCare Bucks back on CVS Tampons (also limit 2) So
both of these were free after the ExtraBucks. You need to pay for the four items, but you will get the amount of the items, less tax, back in the form of the coupon that prints out at the end of your receipt. I think this ExtraCare Bucks (ECB) deal is good through July 31, 2008.
I wanted to get 3 Sunday newspapers for the coupons,
so I bought them first, so I could get the nearly $5 in ExtraCare Bucks.
(At the CVS at the corner of US78 and Rockdale Circle (by Quick Trip),
they don't care if I turn right around and use the coupons
right then, instead of using them on a return trip).
It is well worth getting today's paper, because there is a coupon in there for $2.25 off Electrasol dishwasher detergent. That's half price...now that's great but hang on and don't get too eager to use the coupon, especially if you already have plenty of dishwasher detergent stocked away...wait for the Electrasol to go on sale buy one get one free, and guess what? Free dishwasher detergent too!
Electrasol often goes on sale at Publix...you just need to watch for it. In my case, I have lucked out and got a rain check that locked in the BOGO on Electrasol for me, from when they ran out last time it was on the buy one get one free special, so I should end up getting 3 packages of Electrasol for nearly free if not entirely free.
The Sunday Papers are $2.00 each and I got 3, so that was $6 plus some tax. I used the ExtraCare Buck coupons to buy the papers, plus a dollar or so more.

Publix BOGO Deals
Just add your coupons for super savings!
PUBLIX:
Lysol Antibacterial Kitchen Cleaner (3 bottles) and Lysol Multi Surface Cleaner (3 bottles) for .35 cents each after buy one get one special and .50 cent coupons that doubled. 6 spray bottles for a total of $2.10 when the retail price for one bottle is $2.79 (16.74 regular retail for 6) is not too shabby! Six for less than the retail price of one.
Orville Reddenbacher Microwave Popcorn in the 6-packs retails $4.39, is one Buy One Get One Free Sale at Publix in Snellville. That makes each box $2.20. There are.40 cent off coupons circulating that will double to .80 cents each, making your final cost $1.40.
Electrasol Powerball Gelpacs are buy one get one free - not sure of the price, I forgot to write it down because they were out of the product. I went to customer service and got a rain check to be able to buy up to 10 at the BOGO sale price. The clerk told me that the rain check is supposed to be good for 10 days, but added that they wouldn't be firm on that, so I could bring it back just whenever and they'd honor it. So this is like a private sale that will last a long time for me. Always ask for a Rain Check when they are out of something. It only took 5 minutes max to get the Rain Check.
My personal goodies
Yesterday I was able to get a box of Post Honey Bunches of Oats cereal for free (Manufacturer coupon I received for sending in 5 coupons from competing cereals) $3.79 retail value.
Three packages of Banquet Chicken Dinner, retails $1.79 each (I had emailed Banquet with complaints about a couple of their products)
I saved $24 with manufacturer coupons.
