My Publix Haul

Okay so in my opinion, this post deserves more than your mere woot woot. It deserves a WOOOOT WOOOOT and think trucker horn when you say it. :)

I know the picture is kind of small, so here's the run down of my loot:

• 6 3-pk rolls of paper towels (penny item of the week)
• 1 skim milk
• 1 Similac formula
• 2 Cool Whip
• 1 Oscar Meyer bacon
• 8 cans Campbell's condensed soups
• 2 TreSemme shampoos
• 1 TreSemme mousse
• 2 16-ct Kraft sandwich cheeses
• 3 Duncan Hines brownie mixes (dude, totally gonna try to stay outta that tonight...) :)
• 1 Planter's mixed nuts (for the mixed nuts who live in my house)
• 2 Vanity Fair 100-ct napkins
• 2 Bird's Eye frozen vegetables
• 2 Pam cooking sprays
• 2 boxes Quaker grits (yup, totally Southern... busted)
• 4 10-ct boxes Quaker chewy granola bars
• 6 bags Idahoan mashed potatoes
• 6 bags Kraft shredded cheeses
• and a partridge in a pear tree (couldn't resist)

If you've added everything up, that's 52 items. Wanna know my total out of pocket cost? $41.43. I saved $92.72. No kidding. If you break it down item for item, that's a mere $0.80/item. Sweet!

If you're wondering how I got so many of the penny items, I broke my order up into 6 purchases. The store I frequent has a cashier that I have developed a friendship with and she says I'm her "favorite coupon-er" (I've always tried to be the teacher's pet). On the flipside of that, I have visited another nearby store that limits my transactions to 2, so I can only get 2 penny items. The nerve! -I'm kidding-

Okay, if you're making a trip to Publix, here's an extra I found today. There was a tear pad coupon by the Vanity Fair napkins that made an already good deal even sweeter. Those 100-ct napkins, that I call my "cump'ny (read: company) napkins" (because we only use them when we have folks over) cost me $0.15 a package! We aren't havin' cump'ny tonight, but I may just bust 'em out and even eat off real dishes. HA!

Hope your Wednesday has been a good one! Get out there and save you some money, honey! They're practically giving stuff away! :)
