My Shopping Trip 2/1

I am SUPER happy about this shopping trip!! 

Reason #1: I was happy with the shopping experience... if you don't shop at Publix- you should!!  The whole time I shopped, the employees were so nice and offered any help they could offer. 

Reason #2: I saved a ton of money and stocked up on some things all the while earning a $10 giftcard to use next time (probably next week).  I was so close to getting another $10 card too!

Okay, so on to my trip and how I did it:
