Cheap Kids Gummy Vitamins @ Publix - Sale ends on 1/28!

It's no secret that my child is getting very little nutrients these days from solid food (between her "picky" eating habits and teething i'm lucky if she even drinks her milk) I know that technically these types of gummy vitamins are for ages 2+ so I mush them up for Hastings.
But if you have older kids...this is a great deal for gummy vitamins.

$25 Grocery Challenge - Week 1

2011 Week 1

Shopping with Hastings is proving to be quite challenging...thank goodness for free balloons and cookies at Publix!
Overall, not a bad week for grocery shopping - if you've got a teething toddler (H is getting her last canine) I highly recommend getting the frozen yoplait smoothie kits. It's just frozen fruit and frozen yogurt bites - a great little snackaroo without making the smoothie. Visit www.iheartpublix.com or www.southernsavers.com for coupon match ups.
