Shopping Superstars – Fun Publix Group Trip

Today was the group trip where I met with some readers at a local Publix.  It was fun, and I was able to help some local couponers understand Publix a little better.  Here is my trip minus three more boxes of Aunt Jemima pancakes that I gave away to one of the girls that was there.  Thanks for coming with me girls!  It was a lot of fun!  If you would like to join me for a shopping trip next month, I’ll be doing one in Paulding County, Ga.   Leave a comment here if this is something you would be interested in.
