Sorry...once again, Blogger is messing up my spacing???????

My publix shopping was a HUGE success. I managed to stick to my budget. I have some really random things, but they were so cheap or free that I might as well buy them! :) This was a classic trip for stockpiling. There were only a few items that I needed, but I took advantage of some of the great deals to build up my supply. Next week, I will need to buy more milk, lunchmeat and fresh produce. I spent more time planning my trip transactions than normal because I was on a limited budget of $20 to spend. Remember, I spent $15 and $6 at Kroger/CVS on Saturday for this week's budget.

Oh, and "Q" means coupon and all my coupons that were under 50 cents were doubled.
