My Publix Savings This Week 51%!

Amanda @ A Few Short Cuts — Fri, 03 Sep 2010 22:12:50 +0000

Ok, this is what I bought for my weekly trip to Publix! This is surprisingly small compared to a normal trip for me, but we didn’t need much this week.

I know I could have done better if I would have waited for some items to go on sale, or had my binder with me, but a 51% savings is still really good in my book!

I bought…

2 Planters Peanuts
Betty Crocker GF Brownie Mix
Betty Crocker GF Bisquick
2 Hilshire Farms Lunch Meats
1 publix bagged salad
1 bag of lettuce shreds
1 pack hamburger buns
1 loaf of bread
1 can of pineapple
2 Ball Park Hot dogs
2 Philly Swirl products
2 Almond Breeze Milk 1/2 gal
2.24 lbs grapes
2 Bush’s Grillin Beans
1 Box of GF Fruit/Granola bars
10 Boxes of Spaghetti
2 Lays Potato Chips
1 Simply orange juice
1 pack Motts Juice Boxes

All for $43.68 after Coupons!

I saved $45.36!

Not bad for a quick trip if I do say so myself! So, what did you save this week?
