4/25 Publix 47% Savings


I needed to grab a few extra items which I ran out of and I took my husband with who decided he needed some other items.  I saved 47% and spent a little more than intended, but I still took advantage of some great deals and am happy with the outcome (even if it was less than 50% savings).

Not too bad considering all the large ticket items I bought meat, diapers, lots of produce, and diet pepsi (of course I can't go without that).  Those items are about half of my total bill, but we needed them.  In the end I spent $88.63 and saved $77.58.  The best part is I am not going back to the store until 5/7 except to buy some more Powerade.  I have a few more B1G1 coupons to use and they were limited on flavors tonight so I am hoping they will have some more towards the end of the week or at another store.
