Some things are identical in the store brand vs. the name brand, some are not; to the extent there is a difference, the cheaper generics seem to use lower-quality shortening and sweetening which degrades the flavor from a bit to pretty significantly.  The better half went through a major couponing phase years ago, it's just not worth the time and effort anymore with fewer mouths to feed and less highly-processed food on the shopping list.

I am blanking on how to make that a clickable link, yet it shows as such.

My short term memory is fading fast, most sincerely.   :-(

Publix sends a $5 coupon in the mail every week, and that's the only one I ever use.
To me, that's extreme couponing.

We used to have a neighbor who had whole room in her basement taken up with coupon files and planning.

Thank you for shopping Publix... I enjoy cashing my dividend checks every quarter.

You're welcome. Once a month, I go to Harris Teeter, because choices at Publix are pretty limited by comparison.

If you get $600 a month in food-stamps to feed 5 people, no way should you be running out a week ahead of time. Geez, plan better!

BTW, Tucker at Conservative Cave correctly pointed out Unions and the high cost of foods. Don’t complain if you support Unions, just pay up and shut up!


No kidding.  Somebody's got to pay for $20/hour + sweeeeet benefits!
