Publix, Monday 5/18/09

Well, now that we have a new baby it looks like my weekly shopping trip is going to change to Monday nights. I went to the Maryland Farms store tonight and checked out with my favorite cashier (Herjin....pronounced Her-sheen) and my favorite bagger (Jonathan). I got to the store at about 8:00pm and checked out at around 9:30pm.

I spent the majority of the time that I was in the store looking for the new publix coupons that everyone has been talking about. I found a few of them which I will post about tomorrow.

I had a really fun trip tonight. It was very relaxing checking out and I enjoyed the banter with my favorite cashier. She knows that I am a serious couponer and she and Jonathan were both guessing at my total.
