Getting back to business

Wow!  Seems like it has been forever since I've been here with you all!  I promise to do better in the next coming weeks and year. 
So this past weekend was the first real good shopping trip since the beginning of the year and I am happy with my spending/savings so far.  Yesterday's shopping trip included Kroger, Publix and yes, the dreaded Wal-mart.  I did favor Publix greatly with a lot of VERY good B1G1 sales.  Overall it was a good shopping day and there are still 2 days left to take advantage of this weeks savings at Publix.  There sale is good until midnight on Tuesday 01/25/11. 
Here are a few of my favorite deals (with coupons match-up) from Publix:
All B1G1  (don't forget you can use 2 coupons if you are buying 2 of the B1G1 items)
Fresh Express Salad Blends...$3.99 ($1.99 ea) Smartsource (date ?) .50/1 coupon (use 2) makes it $1.99/2
Kraft Salad Dressing....$3.19 (1.59 ea)  Smartsource (01/23)  $1.00/1 coupon (use 2) makes it $1.20/2
Quaker Instant Oatmeal....$3.69 (1.85 ea) Redplum (01/02) $1.00/1 coupon (use 2) makes it $1.68/2
Kraft Homestyle Macaroni Diner...$2.59 (1.30 ea) Smartsource (01/16) $1.00/1 coupon (use 2) makes it .48/2!!  WOW .24 each!!
Yoplait Yo-Plus Yogurt...$2.00 ($1.00 ea) Smartsource (01/02 & 01/16) $.50/1 coupon (use 2) makes it FREE...yep! FREE!!
Shedd's Spread Country Crock 15oz...$1.89 (.95 ea I had 2 coupons from the printables that Kroger gives you with your receipt both were .50/1 so I used them both and got the butter for FREE also!!  FREE again! and actually had .11 that they applied to the rest of my grocery bill.
There were so many more but these are my favorites from yesterday.  In all I spent $31 and some change at Publix but SAVED $52.42 with sales and coupons!! 
My spending/savings for the day was $190 worth of groceries for only $110.  Now if I can continue to do that for the rest of the year, this will be one happy couponing momma!
P.S.  There is a great A-1 Steaksauce $1.00/1 coupon available if you go to http://www.coupons.com/ and look for it.  It's won't be on the first page so make sure you check every page and find it.  Hopefully it won't be gone by the time you all are getting this.
Happy Monday to you all!  and thanks for hanging in there with me!
