I went to Publix and asked to talk to a manager. I told her it was my first trip to Publix and I wanted to know houw the store worked – coupon doubling, senior discount, location of ads, etc. She gave me a coupon for ice cream because it was my first time to shop there. ( BTW- the next day I dropped back by and told them how much I appreciated my first visit,how clean and well organized the store was and friendly the staff. I was given another coupon for ice cream… if this keeps up I will only shop at stores with WIDE asiles)

BTW Publix has Muir Glen products and their 8 oz tomato sauce was .79.I used the 1.00 coupon for it. I got 5 cans. In the same visit I got hamburger buns and 24 oz of Hunts ketchup and paid a little over $4.00. I will use the rebate for the Hunts. This was my best trip as far as savings goes.

I am blessed with a Rite Aid/Kroger at the end of my street. Walgreens 2 miles down the same road next door to Publix, 1/2 mile further is CVS, 1 mile later is Target and Walmart.

Thank you to all you kind shoppers for your posts so that others might learn a thing or two.
