Second trip to Publix in one week

I am not one to go to the same store more than once a week, but I did this week. We were low on cereal (only 4 unopened boxes left - gasp!). Plus, they had coffee for .99. Come on - who is going to pass that up? Not this coffee junkie!!

In total, I spent $8.94 and saved $22.66.

And here is the breakdown:

Raisin Bran Crunch $1.99 - $1.00Q = .99 (bought 2)

Frosted Flacks $1.99 - $1.00Q = .99

Dole Pineapple Slices $0.99 - .50Q (doubled) = FREE (bought 2)

Maxwell House $1.99x2 =3.98 - $2/2Q = $1.98 (.99 ea.)

Cambell's Soup $1.00x2 = $2.00 - $1.00/2 = $1.00 (0.50 ea.)

Dr Pepper $1.00x2 = $2.00

Pink Lemonade $1.00

The eggs were free because I had a Q for free eggs if you bought 2 boxes of Kelloggs cereal.

Publx Finale

Let's do this quick:

I spent $13.81 at Publix and saved $33.13. Sweet!

Produce at Kroger

I usually go to Kroger every week and get the Manager Special meats. These are meats that are about to expire or they just have too much of in the meat case. I go home, freeze it and it is just fine.

Today, I went and only saw some chicken thighs and lunch meat. I did take a stroll through produce section and WOW! I got so much produce for amazing prices!! With the produce I bought, I spent $11.53 and saved $24.94.

Why do they mark it down? They mark down veggies and fruit that there is too much of, ugly, or they will not get any replacement stock. The corn was marked down because they got a new shipment in this morning (talked to the produce guy) and there was just too much. The peaches were dinged up (doesn't matter, they are going in a cobbler). The mushrooms are going out of date in two days. They mark down the produce and bag it up and sit it aside the rest of the fruit. You cannot miss the huge orange stickers on them!

With all of the other goodies shown in the picture, I spent a total of $30.53 and saved $28.89! It is a bit low for my average savings, but the Tide threw off the savings.

Before I pick Abby up from Pre-K, I am going to make a peach cobbler, oh yum!
