Publix Trip 2/3

I spent more yesterday than I EVER have at Publix. I did get a bunch of items though. Here is a great example of why you need to check your ad and clarify all prices before you start throwing things in your buggy. I thought that the Kraft 8-oz. blocks of cheese were part of the 2/$4 deal. So, I had coupons to stack that were supposed to make them $1 each. So, I bought 14 blocks. When I was checking out my total did seem higher than I had planned, but I bought so much, I didn't really worry about it. When I got home and looked at my receipt I noticed that the cheese was not part of that deal. They rang up $3.09 EACH. So they ended up costing me $2 each instead of $1 each. Not a bad deal, but I would not have bought 14 at that price had I known. So, my total ended up being about $14 more than what I thought it was going to be. Live and learn. I have cheese though :)

I got lots of stuff yesterday shopping. More than I have spent in one week in a long time. But, I will not be doing a lot of shopping next week since my oldest daughter and I are taking a trip to Disney World! So, I will not be in my kitchen for a few days. I hope my husband isn't going to starve! We aren't leaving until next Friday, so I'll be posting recipes until then.
