Publix: It helps to know the cashiers!

With my children all healthy and Spring Break behind us, it was time yesterday to get some deals!

I first stopped at Publix.  There were a lot of great coupon deals this week.  But, unfortunately, my copies of the coupon inserts didn't have the necessary coupons... oh, well.  Also, when I went to print out the Mueller's coupon, it said "One per customer" on it.  I know I saw lots of bloggers buying 20 or more boxes with as many coupons, so I wonder if this wording is new?

Lastly, when I went to check out, I checked out with one of my favorite cashiers.  She knows how much I love to coupon, so she looked through some coupons she had at the register and gave me a store coupon for $1.00 off grapes - without me asking or anything!  Apparently the store had given out this coupon during a customer appreciation event, which I had missed.  I'll be sure to go to any more events in the future!

Here's what I got:

2 Mueller's spaghetti @ BOGO $1.49
