Publix: Preview of Ad with coupon Match-ups for 1/21 with My Routine!

I am not a huge fan of "reinventing the wheel".  I Heart Publix does a fabulous job posting the match-ups of Publix deals with coupons.  These are the match-ups starting 1/21 (1/20 for some):

 This is how I prepare my list and coupons step by step with links for ease:

1. Know your Publix stores coupon policy: If not, call them now!  Do they take competitor coupons? If so, do they take drugstores, food lion, walmart and target coupons? Do they double coupons?
2. SUPER DEALS: I pick out items with their coupons from the Super Deals.  Try to buy enough of the item for 6 weeks or more if they are free.
3. DOLLAR DEALS: I pick out items from the Dollar Deals section.  Again, try to buy enough of the item for 6 weeks or more .
4. Weekly Match-ups: Then I go to the Weekly Match-ups and pick out my menu for the week taking my stockpile of frozen meat and goods into consideration as well as get items that are needed around the house.  I also stock up 6 weeks worth of items that I can freeze or store since it is never a good idea to pay retail :)
5. Competitor coupons and man. coupons: I also check through the Food Lion Printable Coupons,  Target Grocery Coupons and other competitors coupons for the items that are not on sale as well as Coupons.com, Red Plum and Smart Source.You can save even if it is not the BEST DEAL.  I would only buy enough for 1 week since it is NOT the best deal.
6. $5 off:  I print my $5 off for every $25 coupon (if accepted). HERE
7. Rewrite list on envelope:  Break them up in separate purchases if using multiple $5 off coupons.  Paper clip coupons, place them in my envelope with my grocery list and head to the store.  Hand the cashier the coupons in the process of checking out with the $5 off on top.  I always hand them my Publix Upromise card to have them scan to save for my kiddos college fund.  If you have not signed up for Upromise, do it NOW! Upromise is an EASY program to help save for your children, nephews, nieces and grandchildren's college fund with your simple purchases.   

I am no expert. This is just my routine which I am sure I will perfect over time as I know you will.  Let me know what you think!
