So, remember earlier in the week when I posted my first Publix trip for this week’s $40 challege? Well, at that point, I had only spent around $14 of my weekly grocery money and had about $26 left. I did make one other trip before today, but only spent $7 on some more Gatorade and a few things for my hubby.
After that, I still had $18 of my grocery budget left for the week, and was in need of some trash bags. Publix has the Hefty brand on sale BOGO this week for $6.49 and I had another $5/50 competitor coupon that expired today. So, of course, I was not going to let that coupon go to waste! 🙂 Here is what I got for just $4.37!!!! And, I still have $13 left from this week’s budget to combine with next week’s $40!! I must say that I am quite proud of myself! 🙂
