Got $172 worth of groceries for $62 at Publix!

I spent quite a bit more than I normally would at Publix, but I had a $20/80 Heineken rebate I found at Winn Dixie last week, and this week's ad was so good I decided to go ahead and do it. Plus, I won't be shopping next week, so I used two weeks worth of the grocery budget this week.
