Great savings!!! We shopped at the Farmers Market this week and saved a bundle and got ALOT of fresh fruit and veggies- Im thinking mostly We are going to be doing that from now on- Can you tell me which Publix had the coup for the scrubbing bubbles?
I always enjoy seeing that you buy real groceries (not just 20 tubes of toothpaste)and save a bunch doing so! You're very inspiring. Thanks!
Thanks awesome, Maria! I love Farmers Markets. =) There's an AWESOME one on Beaver Street that I want to try out, but it's far away from me. Which do you go to? My Publix had the one stop one store booklet - it's on Race Track Road in Julington Creek. Many store should have them. It's just totally random. Usually my store doesn't have the booklets, but I got lucky!
Anonymous - Thanks so much for the encouragement! =)
