[ grocery ] :: weekly deals at publix

It's a brand new week of grocery deals! Here are some of my picks for items that I'll be stocking up on. Go to Southern Savers to see other deals - maybe there is something you need on sale!

Publix: Weekly ad here.

Every week, Publix publishes a "Penny Item" that is valid on the first day of their weekly sale. Here in the Metro Atlanta area, it's on Thursday for most stores. However, you do need the Penny Item coupon, located in the Living section of the AJC. (Note: sometimes the AJC has a $5 off Publix coupon, too!) So, in order to get the Penny Item for the week you need your coupon and you have to spend $10 in groceries before coupons. Easy-peasy!

This week's Penny Item is Publix Greenwise Toilet Paper, 4 ct, limit 1. At my Publix, this item is usually $3.89 - this is a great deal!

There really isn't anything that I need (or want) to buy or stock up on. One thing I'm keeping in mind is what kinds of things I will need for the holiday season. The Hubs and I don't eat cookies or cakes at home, but it would be nice to have a box of mix or dough - home made goodies are always good hostess or party gifts! Here are some of the items on my shopping list this week, plus a few more that may end up on yours!
