Weekly Grocery Totals: Publix, Walgreens, & CVS

Here are my totals for this week. My first (and main) trip to Publix was, eh barely ok. I did save more than I spent but I spent WAY more than normal, but I had so many needs again this week. But that's just how it rolls sometimes. :) I also bought a few higher priced items too, granted I bought them at great prices but still they were higher priced.
