Today was a very good day for us at Publix! We would have ended up with a negative pre-tax subtotal, except I wanted a Publix Ultimate Sub! (For those of you that haven’t tried Publix subs before, you’re truly missing out!) I had brought a few Phazyme and Sominex coupons, but they were already gone. No big deal – I had really good luck with the Gas-X on the last Green Advantage Flyer.
We were sorely in need of pickles, so I was very happy about that Mt. Olive pickles deal. (There were about five pickle slices left in our last jar.) The Planter’s were a pleasant surprise, as the actual price at the store was a dollar less than I expected. It was also nice to load up on Bird’s Eye veggies too.
