Publix, 2/19 -- 86% savings!

Amazing trip today! I am super excited to share what I got.  I want to give two quick notes before I detail my purchases:

1. I didn't use any printable coupons because my printer is psycho.  I decided this morning that I hate it and want a new one.  It figures that it would have a breakdown just AFTER we replaced both ink cartriges.  Laser jet, here we come.

2. I forgot to somehow strategically place the 3 loaves of bakery bread into the picture.

3. I used http://www.mysweetsavings.com/, http://www.addictedtosaving.com/, and http://www.iheartpublix.com/ to compile my list.  And yes, I realize that this is my 3'rd note before detailing my purchases.

BUT THEN . . . .!

The Sundown vitamins were marked $3.34 at the aisle.  After going back to aisle 8 to make sure, I stopped at Customer Service to get it fixed.  A member there double checked the aisle and confirmed that the product should have been $3.34 each instead of $4.99.  SOOO, the wonderful Customer Service person refunded one item completely and gave me back the $1.65 difference on the other 5.  I received a cash refund of $13.24.  This essentially makes our entire second transaction a money-maker!

So when all was said and done today . . .

Total paid: $18.05
