Publix Sale Meal Ideas 2/2 - Part 2

Normally I do all my grocery shopping on the weekend, but I decided to stop by Publix on the way home because a) I had a good coupon expiring today and b) after applying to one arm, my dove deodorant fell apart. Thankfully I had a backup travel size suave powder fresh, but I had one pit smelling like dove and the other like powder fresh all day long - don't you hate mornings like that??

But the good news is I saw some more sales which gave me more dinner ideas, plus I scored some free deodorant. Hey, we WW chicks have to exercise which makes deodorant a necessity (well.. at least highly recommended if you have a gym membership!), so I think this deal qualifies for "healthy living"...

Dove Fresh Scent and Sensitive Skin (2.6 oz) - $2.99 - use one $1/1 cpn from Publix Green Adv. Buy Flyer and $2/1 dove deodorant or body mist cpn from 1/30 Red Plum - final cost = free!!

Also on sale this week: Split Chicken Breast (bone-in) - $1.79/lb.
