I went to Publix this morning as soon as they opened to be sure to get some of the deals I wanted before the shelves were cleared and I think I did pretty good.  The cashier  was shocked when she read off how much I had saved today.

My Publix trip 10/20 saved 56% spent $18.23

I had fun at Publix this morning because I had a friend (and fellow couponer) to shop with.  Sharing excitement over deals with someone who understands and enjoys it as much as I do (if not more) always makes grocery shopping a little more enjoyable. So thank you Hronn for making this grocery trip more fun and for the cereal coupons! Who knew that grocery shopping could be fun. It used to always feel like a chore to me until I started using coupons and figured out just how much I could save. Now it is kind of like a game, but a game I need to play in order to remain a stay at home mom. 

Todays trip was kind of small, but I still think I did pretty good.
