It seems like I’ve been shopping less often lately since the summer started.  We’ve traveled a bit, and I’ve been stocked up so it’s worked out well.  I usually try not to spend over $100 each week on groceries so this total may seem high, but I haven’t been shopping since my last Publix Shopping trip other than to have Bryan pick up a few needed items so I feel really good about this trip.

We just got back from a week long vacation so I had to pay full price for some things.  I was totally out of trash bags & didn’t see a deal right away.  I went ahead & picked up a box to get me through till the next deal.  I think overall it was a really good trip.  I was able to stock up on a few things like barbecue sauce.  Plus….I got tons of great produce.  Is anyone else so super excited about the Fresh Cherries on sale?  I would probably buy them at full price because I love them so much(well, maybe).

I found a few great tearpads and a couple of peelies in the store that went great with my list.  There was a tearpad for $1.50 off fresh fruit when you buy Fig Newtons (which are BOGO).  Also, There was a peelie for $1.00 off Fresh Chicken when you buy Hellman’s Mayo(also BOGO).

I also had a Winn Dixie coupon for $5 off a $50 purchase from the Enjoy the City Booklet that I used as a competitor’s coupon.

Most of these deals are still available.  You can see all the Publix Deals this week here.
