Publix and Winn-Dixie Weekly Trips

Ok, my first post got deleted so here I go again! This weeks trips to Winn-Dixie and Publix weren’t bad. There were a few items at Publix that they were out of which messed up my totals a bit but still saved quite a bit! Here’s how what I got and the totals:

Winn-Dixie
12 Hershey Candy Bars B1G1 (FREE after B1G1 Q’s!)
1 Wisk Detergent
Total Value= 20.81
Total OOP= 2.73
Savings= 18.08 or 87%!

Publix
2 Betty Crocker Fruit Snacks B1G1
6 Ronzoni Pasta B1G1
20 Shedd’s Country Crock Butter B1G1
1/2 Gallon Milk

Not bad! If you click on the store names, you’ll be able to pull up my shopping lists to see the prices and the amounts off with coupons. If it’s a B1G1, the item price listed is the price per item. I didn’t do it this week but I’ll try and have it set up next week so you can see what Q’s I used with each item.
