Publix: Stocking up for summer

When I checked out this week's deals with the coupon database, I noticed that a lot of deals this week required the Publix Stock Up for Summer savings book.  The problem was, I didn't have it!

So I decided to plan as if I had it and hope that I'd find the book at the store.  I hadn't seen it at my local store, so I decided to shop at a different store.  This store is actually a little closer to my house than my usual Publix, but it is smaller and much older and not on my usual routes.  But that store often has coupon booklets that mine doesn't.

I went there and, yay! the booklets were there.  So I was able to shop according to my plan.  Since I bought $25 worth of the participating products, I'll be able to send in for a $10 Publix gift card!

Here's what I got:
