publix - getting back into coupons

ok, so w/ jon getting out of the military at the end of the year and us not knowing if he'll have a job by then, i figured it was time for me to get back into coupons in a major way to help save some money. i saved big on the things i got, but i bought larger quantities than i would have in the past. . . combined w/ the few things we needed RIGHT NOW, i spent a little less than normal on proceries, but not significantly. i'm hoping that in the weeks and months to come, i'll be able to save more so that i can really cut our grocery bill as much as possible. anyways, here's what i got:

14 jars ragu spaghetti sauce (46 oz. each)
40 breyers yocrunch yogurts
2 all small and mighty free and clear laundry detergent (32 loads each)
3 bags chex mix
1 pompeiian olive oils
4 i can't believe it's not butter sprays
4 boxes pillsbury brownie mix

i realized this morning that i forgot to include a couple of key coupons, so i'll be going back to use them tonight, but in the end i still got a graet deal - i paid $43.73, but SAVED $96.64 or 68.85%. obviously, if i hadn't forgotten those few coupons, i'd have saved even more, i just was in a hurry and wasn't paying attention. . . oh well. i'll be going back for some more chex mix and the all small and mighty. . . i also forgot the olive oil coupons, but i don't need to buy any more of that, so i'll see if there's anyone around here who wants them. . . i also forget to get myself soe rainchecks for the brownies, lysol wipes, and ragu sauce b/c they ran out before i'd used all my coupons. . . so i'll have to do that today too. oh well, not bad for a first try, huh? :) (the picture doesn't have the yogurts or spray butters b/c i'd already put them away when i thought to take the picture and didn't feel like getting them back out)
