| Got everything in all three pictures for under $50. Saved $170 |
Today's Publix trip was so HUGE that I needed three different pictures to show it all. I saved $170 and had close to $10 in MONEYMAKERS and lots of items under $1! I also was able to use two $5/$30 Target printable coupons too.
Today's trip was almost a disaster. I actually spent a decent amount of time getting everything ready for this trip and I had an extensive list with prices, coupons, totals and the breakdown of what went in each transaction. When I walked into Publix, I realized that my list was sitting on the counter at home. I really didn't feel like going back to get it so I just winged it. Shockingly I actually got everything on my list and manged to get it all worked out in my head. Not gonna lie, I am pretty proud of myself : )

The most exciting part of my shopping trip was finding that my Publix started carrying the the trial sized Crest White Strips again! I hadn't seen them since my crazy moneymaking Valentine's Day shopping trip. They weren't on clearance like they were in February but they still made me $1 each. I have tons of $7 off coupons (without the travel sized exclusion wording) but I only used eight due to the 4 like coupons per transaction limit and not wanting to split my trip up more than twice.
We are having a big Christmas party on Friday so I stocked up on tons of stuff for that as well as items for all the dishes and desserts I will be bringing to all of Christmas dinners and parties we are invited to.
We actually have a dinner party or family event every night from now until December 26th so we didn't need any fresh veggies or fruit. I wanted to grab some of the great deals on meat right now but our freezer is still too full with our stockpile and party prep so I am going to have to wait on those. My cart was actually overflowing so it's probably good that I skipped the big turkey and ham I was thinking of.
Since I never went to Publix last Thursday today's trip used my grocery cash from that budget and then I will be hitting up Publix one last time this Thursday or Friday to get the fresh items for our party.
