EITC Tax Credit Do you qualify for the federal Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC)?  Many low-income working individuals and families qualify for EITC, and don't claim it.  You could pay less federal tax, pay no tax, or even get a tax refund.  For more information and to find out if you qualify for EITC, go to the IRS EITC Home Page.
Basic Qualifications

All Workers Claiming the EITC Must:

To Claim EITC With a Qualifying Child, the Child Must Pass All of the Following Tests:
Warning: Only one person can claim the same qualifying child for EITC and other tax benefits.  If more than one person claims the same child, IRS applies the tiebreaker rules. Read more about the tiebreaker rules here.

To Claim EITC Without a Qualifying Child, The Worker, and The Worker's Spouse If Filing A Joint Return, Must:
Have lived in the United States for more than half of the tax year,
Be at least age 25 but not age 65 or older,
Cannot qualify as the dependent of another person.

My Publix Trip - Scenario for $10 GC wyb $100 I know I recommended against trying to get the $10 GC wyb $100 at Publix, but it is a good challenge for you advanced couponers. It definitely was something we could plan for with using rainchecks on GM cereal or salad dressing, saving Method dish soap coupons, using overage items like sominex and phazyme, saving the Speed stick and Kotex liner Kimberly Clark PQs from the recent booklet or a few other scenarios.

The problem is we're all looking for the same items and its more than likely that unless the truck just got unloaded, you're going to find your planned shop may not happen. I recommend saving the gift card scan for the end of your order to make sure you have $100 and then let the cashier do the card. If you're not close, then just don't get the gift card. Remember tax is your friend here. There are a lot of items this week that are very cheap after coupons which can help bring up your total - if you saved your coupons. I used Reach floss, Rondele, Steamfresh veggies, Purina One, Beechnut baby food. You could also use Kikkoman sauce mix, Samboazan juice (starting Sat).

On my shop, I asked at CS if I could use a Wags RR. I mentioned it was a MQ and that it scanned. They brought it to the manager and he approved it. Either answer would have been okay, but it was a yes - so I used it. This is very YMMV. Always get approval on unknown coupons before you get to the register.

This is my regular shop day where I get all our salad stuff and fruit. There were only 2 lonely sominex on the shelf, and no phazyme. Everything else was well stocked so for freebies and slight overage I got some of the unadvertised Rondele  Pub Cheese using coupons I printed a while ago (not sure if they're still available - check a coupon database), I got steamfresh veggies and some baby food to donate. I had not planned on using as many speedstick coupons but needed the overage, so I got six. Using the RR was a bonus to help me get the total down, plus a sweetbay $5/$50 and a Publix $5/$30 from the papers this week. So my savings were $135, and I paid $5.32 with a gift card, plus I received the $10 gift card for spending $100.81 - so it was a profit of almost $5.

In case you're wondering how I calculate my cart while I'm shopping when your list goes out the window, I use the Grocery Tracker app on my smartphone. Its a free app from Android market. I enter my list in it before I shop but its easy to add or subtract items or change quantities and coupon amounts so you know how close to zero you are (Isn't that the goal of shopping - to get to zero all the time??). Anyway, I would never shop without it.

Remember to check back next week for another $25 Publix GC Giveaway....
