Publix Menu-Feed your family for $50.02 this week!

Here's this weeks Publix menu.  If you have a family of four, this should give you seven dinners to serve spending only $50.  I use these prices/coupon matchups to see what's on sale this week and what Q's are available.  This week, I gave you one beef option, one pork option, one vegetarian option, and 4 chicken options.  I guess it's a good week for chicken!  Happy cooking.
