Publix, Rite Aid, CVS, and Walgreens – oh my!

Today I went to Publix, Rite Aid, CVS, and Walgreens. I briefly freaked out while at Publix when I didn’t see any double papers. I headed to Kroger after wards and they had doubles. Phew! I am starting to reconsider buying doubles – or papers at all. I throw so many coupons in the recycling bin at the end of the month. Perhaps that means I need to do more coupon trains?
