Hi Stephanie! I am new to reading your blog, but I bookmarked it. Thanks for all the info! :)

I have a question. I did the deal on the yogurt too. When I opened one of the cups, it seemed a tiny bit lumpy, almost a slight cottage cheese consistancy, but only SLIGHTLY.
Normally, I can just stir up yogurt and it is fine, but this wouldn't come together and get smooth.
It didn't smell or taste funny.

Is this the way that brand/type usually is? Should I try to exchange it? It is not near its expiration date.

Thanks for your help/advise!

Thanks for bookmarking my site! I'm glad you find it helpful. :) I have bought this yogurt in the past and it definitely is a thicker variety, but I've never had the issue you're having. If it was me, I'd probably exchange it. Publix is very good about ensuring the quality of their food. Hope that helps!
