Today’s Publix shopping trip was a fun one!  I’ve had a jam packed week so walking through Publix and spending a little time away from my computer was refreshing.  (I must say that sometimes it is so nice to be able to take advantage of the deals I post ;))  I replenished my dwindling pasta sauce stockpile and I was able to score what seemed like tons of awesome deals!  I did take advantage of the $10.00 off $50.00 Gas Gift Card deal.  This is a great deal if you can afford to spend $40.00 on a gas card!  I didn’t add the gift card into my amount spent (shown below) because the gas card goes under our gas budget.  I also want to make a note that I used 10 of the $0.75/1 Bertolli Sauce Target store coupons (found in the 8/7/11 Target Insert – I ordered the inserts online since my papers didn’t include them).  I normally only use one Target coupon in one transaction but these coupons did not limit one coupon per transaction.  Despite this, not all stores will allow you to use multiples of the same coupon so ask your customer service first to make sure you can do it.

I’m still set on chicken.  I have at least 30 lbs of boneless, skinless, chicken breast stockpile courtesy of Zaycon Foods, go HERE to read how to score awesome deals on boneless, skinless chicken breasts.  I do need, however, lean ground beef so I will have to find a good deal soon.

The items I purchased today coincide with this week’s Publix Weekly ad. To see this week’s ad & coupon matchups, go HERE.
