It has been another crazy week over here! Time is flying and I can’t believe that it is already almost the middle of September. Crazy! Today’s Publix trip was another great one! We did spend a bit more than I would probably like - especially since I’ve already been to Publix twice this month prior to today. But, I didn’t think that this week’s sales flyer was very impressive. So, with the sales being less than stellar - especially considering the lack of coupons to use on the current sales - I knew that we would end up spending a bit more out of pocket than we would like. I did want to make a note that I have used multiples of the same Publix coupons from the Toss 4 Cash coupon booklet. My store allowed this because the coupons do not limit “one per customer” or “one per purchase.” Also - we asked customer service if we could use the T.G.I. Friday’s Entree for One coupons on the sales items and we were told yes. Definitely ask your customer service prior to doing that deal as I have a feeling stores will vary on how to handle this situation.
