PUBLIX 10/7/10, SPENT $8.31, SAVED 88%

I wanted to get a jump start on the Martha Stewart Cleaning Products, but someone already beat me to it! There were only 2 of the bathroom cleaner left! I got a raincheck so I could do it at a later date when it is fully stocked. I wasn't impressed with this weeks ad but it had a few good deals for me. This is what I purchased:

2 Classico Sauce
4 Progresso Bread Crumbs
6 Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing
Frozen Artichokes
1/4 lb. pancetta
2 Ronzoni Pasta
2 Classico Sauce
4 Progresso Bread Crumbs
2 Planters Peanuts
6 Hunts Tomatoes
1 Cannellini Bean
16 oz. Cottege Cheese
1 Muir Glen Tomato Paste
Frozen Artichokes
Cottonelle Wipes

I specifically went in to buy frozen artichokes $3.29, Pancetta $1.54 and Planters Peanuts BOGO $2.89. These three items minus the coupons for the peanuts would have been $5.72...my whole bill was $8.31!! Another awesome Publix trip!

NEW CLASS DATE SCHEDULED - OCT. 25th

The October 14th class is FULL! I will schedule another workshop on Monday, October 25th at 6:00. (Note this class will begin at 6:00 due to it getting darker earlier). The fee for the class is $15 per person.

READ THIS AND GET A GOOD LAUGH!

Thank you to Mary Ann T. who sent this to me...it is very clever and I just had to laugh...enjoy!

A new Publix Supermarket opened in Hudson, Florida. It has an automatic water mister to keep the produce fresh. Just before it goes on, you hear the distant sound of thunder and the smell of fresh rain.

When you pass the milk cases, you hear cows mooing and you experience the scent of fresh cut hay.

In the meat department there is the aroma of charcoal grilled steaks and brauts.

In the liquor department, the fresh, clean, crisp smell of tapped Miller Lite.

When you approach the egg case, you hear hens cluck and cackle and the air is filled with the pleasing aroma of bacon and eggs frying.

The bread department features the tantalizing smell of fresh baked bread & cookies.

I don't buy toilet paper there anymore.

PUBLIX 10/6/10, SPENT $6.38, SAVED 92%

My daughter decided she wanted to cook a meal for her boyfriend tonight and wanted to make Fettuccini Alfredo. Heavy cream is not a staple we keep in our house, so off to Publix I go to pick up her ingredients. Of course, I couldn't go to Publix and pass up more FREE cheese! So this is what I bought:

Shredded Parm Cheese (this was NOT on sale and I didn't have a coupon $3.39
5 Kraft shredded cheese (went right in freezer)
5 Kraft Chunk Cheese
2 Armour Meatballs
2 Pkgs. frozen broccoli
2 pkgs. Fettuccini
4 Vigo Yellow Rice
4 Crystal Light
Heavy Cream
2 Cukes
Romaine Lettuce
Garlic
Bananas
2 Mission Tortillas

TOTAL SPENT $6.38

Remember, I went in specifically for the heavy cream $1.89, Shredded Parmasean Cheese $3.39 and garlic $.43. Those items total $5.32. So why not throw in a few more things for $1.06 just for the fun of it! I just can't walk into the grocery store and get three things!!

The best part is they were all out of several kinds of cheese, so I got a raincheck and still have two $5/5! This may be a good time to put all the Dulacalox to good use after eating all that cheese!

Make sure you use the B2G1 Coupon from the Family Favorites Booklet and stack with the BOGO sale starting Thurs, Oct. 7th.
