I can’t believe a year has passed since last year’s Publix Italian Days sale! I must admit that this year’s sale isn’t quite as impressive as last year’s. Last year Publix gave us slightly better coupons. Despite this, you can still get great deals at Publix right now! I had fun putting together my scenarios for today’s shopping trip – and yes – you will see that despite the stockpile I currently have of canned beans, I bought more today. 😉 I can’t wait to hear how all of you did – please leave me comment and let me know!

**P.S. If you are shopping at Publix Saturday 2/18 or Sunday 2/19 read my post HERE to HEREto print two sets of awesome $5/5 Kellogg’s cereal coupon that will go perfectly with the 50% off sale!!
