Saturday Savings, 8/28 -- Publix -- Saved 83%!

We started this weekend with $40 spendable cash -- boy, will we be glad to get to payday! In addition to the Publix shopping trip that will be the focus of this post, we were also able to do the following and still have a couple of dollars and some change left:

1. Breakfast at McDonald's on Friday before heading to work/school. (under $10)
2. An emergency run to Wal-Mart at 2:00 a.m. this morning to get Orajel for my poor tooth pain that was keeping me awake. (around $3)
3. Breakfast at McDonald's this morning. A much more relaxing breakfast today than yesterday. (under $10)
4. An $8 trip to Wal-Mart. We got 2 loaves of bakery bread from the reduced rack, a pair of pantyhose, a spare key for the front door, and toilet paper. Not a single coupon, so the checkout went smoothly. (sarcasm. :) )
