I think I did pretty good at Publix today. I saved $171.00 with coupons and sales and paid only $123.00!

Here's what I picked up:

4 Gladware to Go Containers (3 - 5 pack)
4 Publix Cranberry Sauce
8 Dixie Paper Plates
2 Simply Orange OJ 59 oz.
2 Kraft Milk Bites Granola Bars
2 Maries Blue Cheese Dressing from Produce section
2 Steamfresh Veggies
1 Activia Yogurt 4 pack
1 Boneless Skinless Chicken 2lb package
2 uncooked Pizza Dough from bakery
2 Oscar Mayer Pepperoni
4 Hormel Chili No beans
2 Publix Instant Rice
4 Stayfree 36 ct packages (didn't realize these were so expensive, I thought I was picking up the small ones, so it really through off my totals)
2 Bush's Grillin Beans
2 Mount Olive Hamburger Dills
2 Delmonte Cans Spinach
2 Delmonte Cans Green Beans
4 Delmonte Cans Corn
2 Sargento Shredded Mexican Cheese
2 Sargento Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
6 Kraft Velveeta Shells & Cheese
4 Ragu Pasta Sauce
1 Green Leaf Lettuce
1 fresh Sliced Mushrooms
6 Ocean Spray Cranberry Juice Cocktail and Cran-Cherry Drink
1 Clorox Liquid Bleach (the large one)
1 Clorox wipes 2 pack
2 Hellmann's Mayo
4 Kraft American Cheese singles
2 Kraft Cheddar cheese Singles
2 Kraft Fresh Taste
6 Dole Sliced Pineapple
2 Sorrento Mozzarella Cheese
4 Capri Sun 10 packs
4 Fab Laundry Detergent

paid $123.68, saved $171.15! I used $50.01 in store coupons, $47.44 in vendor coupons and had 73.70 in special savings from sales I was surprised at the sell by dates on many of the items! The Cheese slices say sell by some date in September! So I know I will get a chance to use them all!

Also made a trip to CVS and picked up 4 coke 12 packs (my husband has to have his soda) and 10 Mars single serve candy bars after coupons it came to like $6.30 which I thought was a great deal as well!

Now I'm going to go lay down and rest! I way over did it today and I have to go back to work on Monday.... not sure how I'll stay awake all day after being off for a couple of weeks.

I had a lot of time while I was in bed recovering to match up coupons My daughter helped get stuff off the lower shelves and pick up anything heavy and she even loaded the checkout counter for me while I matched up the coupons for the cashier. It took two grocery baskets to bring it all to the car and she helped me lift it all into the car. My Hubby, Son and Daughter unloaded the stuff for me.

I had surgery for a hernia and it's still quite painful, but I have to go back to work on Monday, so I figured I need to start getting around a bit. It's been 2 weeks since the surgery and I have a 4-5 inch cut in my abdomen which is healing, although not pretty looking. I imagine it will be several more weeks before I'm good as new. Can't wait to be able to bend down and pick stuff up off the floor! It's driving me crazy not being able to bend down! LOL
