Bought a lot of pasta and cheese this week, as well as a fair amount of produce. Just goes to show that you really can save on FOOD using coupons. Even some organic foods can be a part of my budget now! The Viva Italia sale at Publix isn’t as good as it was last year, but I am still finding some good deals. The BOGO lasagna noodles are probably my favorite. I think I will pick up a couple more boxes before the sale ends. Wait, maybe the cheese is my favorite deal… yeah, the cheese at $1.50 per lb. is pretty great!
Total before sales and coupons: $291.50
Total paid, including tax: $43.77
