Stock Up On Snacks And Easy Meals

Here are the best deals at the new sale at Publix.

Each week, Patch sets out to find the best deals at local grocery stores to help save your family money.

We would love for you to join us in the money saving mission. Save each week's newspaper inserts with the dates marked on the front for easy coupon location and check back with Patch every Monday and Thursday for the best prices and coupon match ups.

As you are shopping, remember, just because an item is on sale does not mean it is a great deal. Buy it if you need it, but the trick is to stock up when you have coupons on these good deal sale items. Soon you will be able to buy items only  when they are sale and save money all year long with out ever running out of the  groceries you love. Sale patterns typically run between 3 weeks and 3 months so if a product you love is very cheap this week, buy enough to get you through to at least the next sale.
