So....I had to go to the doctor today and the receptionists are amazed at how much I can save, but they seemed to have their doubts. The doctor's office is right around the corner from a Publix and I had my coupons with me so I made a trip there and then went back to the doctor's office to show them what I got. All the Hamburger Helpers here are being donated to a family.

7/21/10 Publix Trip
Okay...I need to preface this with a couple of things....
1. When I went to Publix last night, I stopped at the Customer Service desk and asked them if they would like for me to order the Crest and Hamburger Helper because I was going to get a lot of them. They told me that I didn't need to as long as I did not clean the shelves.
2. My dad went with me so he was able to do 2 transactions (he kept his receipts) and I did 2. Since he was with me, the cashier put the 5% senior citizen discount on all 4 transactions. I did not ask for the discount and inquired as to why it was being applied to my order.
3. We were at the store at 7:10 this morning so there were no lines and no crowds since they had just opened. We were in and out in less than 30 minutes (and that's with getting a cup of their free coffee!).
Here goes....

7/20/10 Piggly Wiggly
I usually don't shop at Piggly Wiggly because they aren't really "coupon friendly". They don't double coupons or accept competitors' coupons. However, there are times that they do give you a book of Greenbax stamps for every manufacturer coupon that you use. This was one of those times, I have been wanting to try this salad, and the coupons were about to expire.
