UPDATE (from Steve): Naomi made a little mistake on the Alexia deal. I called her to let her know that she should have used on manufacturer coupon plus one Publix OR competitor coupon, not all of them. She’s clear on the matter now, but we’re going to leave the trip up as posted so all the numbers add up. FYI – Naomi’s been couponing for just a few months, but she’s doing great, especially because she eats much healthier than most of us
So today I was going to go to Whole Foods, but I decided to go to the Greenwise Market instead to take advantage of the gas card deal. There was a couple of things on my list that they did not have so I may still need to head over to Whole Foods this week, but I may put it off to get one more gas card out of Publix. Again, no carefree but I did get a nice deal on the Van’s and Alexia. The Reeses was a special treat to get me up to $25 and through work tonight!
