I had so much fun at Publix today. I actually threw together all of my coupons this morning and for the first time in a long time, I didn’t go into Publix knowing ahead of time what I was going to spend. (Usually, I have the math done ahead of time for my entire grocery list.) It was a bit of a gamble, but I knew that I had a lot of great deals in my cart so I was able to stock up on two bags of apples, plums, bananas, acorn squash and asparagus. Despite all of the produce I bought, I still ended up spending $0.09 before tax. With tax, I spent $4.15! I was thrilled and I have to say that my cashier was the best. She is one of my store’s customer service managers and she never flinches when she sees me coming with a huge wad of coupons.
Also – stay tuned for next week’s Photo Show and Tell which will be posted sometime Friday, October 8th.. I will be a bit under the weather next week so you will have a guest blogger for my Photo Show and Tell. I’m really excited about it and I can’t wait to see how they do on their shopping trip! 🙂
The items I purchased today coincide with this week’s Publix Weekly ad. To see this week’s ad & coupon matchups, go HERE.
