Darn, I forgot all about that coupon. I went today, and while I saved a lot, I did not save as much as I wanted. I think it is because of my fruit cravings, as I have really been filling up the cart with fruits and veggies lately...even if they are not always on sale.
And yes, Tammy, I do use iheartpublix.com and LOVE that site! Very helpful! E-mealz also helped me notice some of these deals I might not have gotten otherwise
Have a great gather day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
