If I had to sum up my Publix shopping trip today, it would be HELLO CHEESE!  I’m armed and ready to make at least two lasagnas and at least one dish of stuffed shells.  YUM.  Publix has some great sales today and I was so excited to get mozzarella cheese, ricotta and to try out the new Kraft Mozzarella w/ Philly Shredded cheese.  I spent a bit more than I desired and expected but I am pleased with 80.6% savings!  I also giggled to myself as I put the two bottles of French’s mustard in my shopping cart because I was picturing myself not buying one bottle but 150 like the lady on Extreme Couponing.  heehee.  I also was able to do the Right Guard deodorant and body wash deal which made me extremely happy. 

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

If you are new to saving money at Publix, read my Intro to Publix post!   

**Disclaimer**
1)  My Publix allows us to use more than one of the same Publix store coupon and/or competitor coupon in one transaction.  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 – mine does.  If your Publix does not allow overage, they will usually adjust the value of the coupon down so that you receive the item for free.
