As a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN), I teach my clients how to save at the supermarket. Shopping the BOGO items Publix is a great way to save.

Here in North Carolina, you can buy one BOGO item for half price or buy two for the price of one. At my local Publix, BOGO items change every Tuesday night. The examples shown are a very small sample of the food, beverage, and household items offered at BOGO prices this week.

Check out the Just Bare boneless, skinless chicken breast 18 oz trays-if you buy just one, the price is $4.25.

Dave's Killer Bread brand is a dietitian favorite, and the BOGO price on one bag of bagels is $3.30.

Prices shown were viewed on shelf tags at my local store in 28078 and do not include taxes.

To view the BOGO items on sale each week at Publix, download the Publix app, click the "Savings" tab on the bottom menu bar, then click the "BOGOs" box. Create your shopping list using sale items.

My family enjoyed these new salt-free seasonings from Newman's Own so I am now sending them to my clients via Amazon.com to try.

I often send dietitian written cookbooks, meal planning and/or grocery shopping tear pads, food diary books, and other nutrition and meal planning tools to my clients.

These seasonings will be fun for my clients to try since I am always talking about avoiding adding salt and high sodium seasoning blends to food.
