Publix, 1/15, 55% savings

Not a good percentage of savings at all, I know. Two mistakes I made: 1 -- I bought a package of meat that I thought I needed to make a coupon work (will explain later) - $4.81. 2 -- I didn't buy a local newspaper on Wednesday, so I missed out on having the $5/$50 coupon - $4 (value of the coupon after cost of newspaper). That more-than-eight-bucks is really going to bother me. Anyway, here's how I did:
