Well, it has been a long week for us! I found this week to be a slow week at Publix, but despite that, I certainly seemed to have bought a lot!  I used one $5.00 off $30.00 Publix coupon, one Free $10.00 Target Gift Card when you spend $50+ AND a $10.00 off $100.00 American Express Gift Card when you buy $25.00+ in groceries.  SO, I had to spend $105.00 worth of groceries before coupons which was a very difficult feat this week.  Fortunately, I still had six $5.00 off Bengay coupons and the Bengay was on sale for $5.99.  So, I was able to add $35.94 worth of groceries just by getting the Bengay.  (And, I will put it to good use as I’m sidelined with an injury right now. That is another story though. sigh.) I’m still loving the zucchini and squash sales!  And, I meant to buy a cantaloupe but forgot (it is on sale 2/$4.00 which is a great price).  **I didn’t include the AMEX gift card in my final totals since I look at it basically as a gift card to put towards future grocery shopping trips 🙂 The AMEX deal really isn’t that good when you factor in the activation fee.

How did you do this week shopping? I hope you were able to spend less and save more than I did! Please leave a comment letting everyone know how you did!
