FREE Cereal AND Pasta!

Good morning at the local Publix?  Umm....YES!  Saving money is so addictive....I guess that's a good addiction though, right?  So my total for all of this was.....drumoll please.....$3.02!  I could've gone in the negative using manufacturer coupons, but I figured I'd stay a little positive so Publix wouldn't have to hand me cash, and it's not like I won't be using those coupons in the next week anyway for as fast we go through the granola.  And of course I bought Rotel last week thinking it never goes on sale...and it goes 5/$5 this week.  So I printed my coupon again and bought some more...that stuff is great to have lying around!  All but one of the Garden Delight pastas have been added to my donation pile.  I hadn't planned on buying this many, but then I found .50/1 peelies on all the boxes...which doubled to $1, making each box FREE + overage since they're BOGO this week.

Total before coupons & store sales: $52.06
Total after coupons & store sales: $3.02
Savings: 94.2% :) :) :)

***Also used Rite-Aid $5/25, but it was my last one!  Hope a new one comes out soon!
