Of course, that means cooking my own meals, not eating out, and taking my own lunch to work. BTW, Publix has at least 10 or more BOGO's each week.

For many years if you bought only 1 you got the discount price anyway, now they will charge you the full price if you only buy 1. If this is legal then why did Kroger, Vons repeal this rule in 199 and re-enforce it now. Are they not going to sell 2 anyway. THIS RULE DISCRIMINATES AGAINST POOR PEOPLE AND THOSE WHO DO NOT OWN A FREEZER Hello Wal-Mart Supercenter In San Diego the grocery stores have recently instituted a policy of enforcing the buy 1 get 1 free rule.

I'll have to check out Publix sales this week. I'm an avid coupon clipper... do you happen to know if websites that offer coupons are worth it, or will my Sunday paper coupons be enough? Glad I found your site... its very informative and helpful.
