Shopping This Week...

PUBLIX:

Everything we bought from Publix this week was on sale. I only matched up a few coupons, but am starting to build up my (newspaper) coupon stash, so I will have to be patient!! :)

Here's what we got so far...

Necessities...
(although not all of these are officially sale prices, they are cheaper due to Publix's recent push for cheaper prices on "staples"):
** Publix 2% milk (1gall)= $2.89
** Publix yogurt (24oz)= $1.69
** Publix sour cream (16oz)= $1.39

Total Spent: $53.14

Percent Savings: 44.5%

Although I'd love to see the savings % close to 70%, I am pretty happy w/ our 1st week of trying to search the deals. We have lots of meat to carry us through at least this week & most of next week. In fact, the baked ziti I made last night will probably last throughout this weekend! It was SOOO much food. And the french bread was kind of a splurge, but it will be so nice to toast w/ the leftovers or grab for a quick breakfast w/ some of Tim & Bekah's or Mama's homemade jelly! Mmmm...

We also got some goodies at CVS, but not nearly as much. I have a new Rx for prenatal vitamins (for $10) which I will purchase w/ my coupon for a (free!) $25 CVS gift card! Yay! That will help w/ building up some ECB!

Sorry no pictures to share... I put it all away before thinking of pics! Definitely next time!
