My internal alarm clock woke me up around 7am and I was READY TO GO! I grabbed my coupons that I prepared the night before and took off for Publix. I thought it was a great idea to get there by 8am, thinking it would be relatively empty. Umm... the day before Thanksgiving... not so much. Either it was a bad idea because it was packed OR a really good idea that many others shared with me.
Either way, my plan was still set in motion to ONLY get the items I preplanned to purchase.
Well let's just get to the good stuff, shall we... The savings:
Total before savings: $96.44
Amount I paid: $26.48
"Oh my goodness, that's A-mazing!!" You say! "How on Earth did you do it?" You ask?

This is awesome!! I love a great sale and being able to save this much is inspirational, especially to a college student like myself!
You make me want to really start using the coupons I find! Thanks for sharing.

I did all of my weekly shopping last Saturday, and purchased 215 dollars worth of food/weekly necessaties for 106 dollars. I comparative priced and used coupons! It's easy, but for this week with such a big menu for tomarrow it took me about an hour to figuer out the best deals with the coupons I had (oh! and taking care of two kids who ran off with the coupons.) I would say a few hours shopping (the place was PACKED!) and an hour organizing for the trip was well worth my $109 savings!
Best deal of last Saturday?
A $17-$18 pork roast for $8.27 cents!
SOOO worth my time, as that roast can last my family a week on meals!
