--one of the bottles of dressing is leaking,  needs to be returned.
--notice the tall bottles of dressing in the back...I got 2 of the wrong size.  I usually watch them ring everything up..but I was busy unloading my other orders and didn't pay any attention.....FAIL...Those 2 were larger and cost $3.79 instead of $1.31.   I'm sure your asking why I didn't question it while I was paying.  I had enough coupons to make the vegies free, so I made $5 by buying the frozen vegies.  I didn't do my math very well or I would have know that I needed to buy something else.  I'll see if I can exchange those 2 bottles for 6 of the bottles that are on sale  :-)
--I replaced the leaking bottle of dressing this morning, no problem.  Publix is such a friendly store.
--I asked the CS desk at Publix if I could exchange the larger bottles of dressing for the bogo bottles.  They were fine with that.  The bottles I wanted were just a few ounces smaller.  Because of the price difference I was able to get 6 of the smaller bottles of dressing and only had to pay an additional $.25.

I stopped at Bi-Lo and bought 10 dozen eggs.  They are on sale 4/$5 this week.  I used 5 $.55/2 coupons I got from Jennie's Bilo post .  The date on the eggs is the end of March.  Between making free cookies, free mini muffins, egg salad and boiled eggs we'll use those eggs up no problem.

I also stopped at CVS.   I was hoping to use some of my RainChecks but they still didn't have the items in stock.  I bought 2-20oz Diet Cokes.  Used a CVS B1G1 coupon and use a $.75/2 MQ.  Not bad.

I stopped at Rite Aid to pick up a couple of rainchecks.  I got some more free Hormel Compleats, 3 bottles of Gain dish detergent, a gallon on milk and a loaf of bread.
