Weekly Shopping: 9/30 - 10/6

As usual, a wonderful week at Publix! I was able to use several $5 off coupons this week thanks to splitting up my trips and how many great deals were available. I stopped in at the store three times - I feel like my favorite customer service guy must think I'm there every day - I swear he was working during each of my trips and happened to check me out on two of those days. Still, he's so nice and always compliments me on my savings. This week I bought a few splurge items; some I had coupons for I wanted to use up before they expired on the 30th (hello Snickers and TGIF) as well as some I wanted to get for our anniversary picnic. I also grabbed two bags of salad for Collin to contribute to a work 'Salad Bar' party. One more reason I love shopping this way, I'm able to happily buy items not on sale and for special occasions without busting our grocery budget.


On 9/30, 10/2, and 10/4 I saved a total of $104.47 and spent $61.26.

That's about 63%!

Thanks again to Michelle over at I Heart Publix for matching my weekly sales ad with the coupons (and for constantly posting even more coupons as they pop up all over the internet). I couldn't do it without her! See the current sale matchup here and make sure to check out next week's ad sneak peek to get your coupons ready for the sale.
