Photo Show and Tell – Publix 1/14/11

My cat is going to be SO happy with me.  The one type of cat food she eats (the ONLY type of cat food she eats) is Purina Indoor Cat Food.  So, I was very excited about the bags of cat food being on sale BOGO!  I was also excited that I saved the $1.50/1 Smucker’s Jelly Coupons I posted about back on September 15th HERE.  I saved the coupon hoping there would be a good sale and my persistance paid off.  With my four $1.50/1 Smuckers coupons I was able to score Smuckers Jam for $0.09 each.  Marvelous.  The only major grocery item I needed today was cat food and Band-Aids.  Everything else I bought because they were excellent deals.  Oh – and to prove that I do in fact purchase produce, I took a picture of my grocery trip to Winn Dixie this morning.  With a $25.00 gift card I received over the fall from transferring a ______, I was able to score all of the produce below FREE.  Although – I should admit that I left my bag of grapes at Winn Dixie.  So, yes, I will be going back there to pick up the forgotten bag UGH.

**NOTE** 1)  My Publix allows us to use more than one of the same Publix store coupon and/or competitor coupon.  Not all Publix locations allow this.  You should ask customer service if they allow this before loading up your cart.   2) Not all Publix locations allow overage.  If your Publix does not allow overage, they will adjust the value of the coupon down so that you receive the item for free.
