Publix!

I got a short trip together to hit Publix on their penny item day! Since I procrastinated during the day and wasn't able to head to the store until 6 pm, the hot dog penny item was all out! But they had a good substitute! Ken's salad dressing for a penny! I got the Raspberry Pecan, that just sounds delicious!

One important thing to remember is that you almost always will have to adjust your shopping trip once you get to the store. I had planned on also getting 2 gallons of milk, but they were all out. If they were in stock, we would have added 2 gallons of milk to this order, and our subtotal would have been $1 LESS. But, I will be making a trip again this week, and getting *a few* more boxes of Lucky Charms since it turned out to be a better deal than I was expecting! Love our stockpile!

I should probably add that there is a lot of sweet stuff here! But it is holiday baking season! We're going to see a lot of baking items on sale! ;o)
