This post is a bit late considering I went shopping yesterday (Thursday) around 9 a.m.! That is an example of my life right now – a bit crazy! Publix has an amazing deal on TombStone pizzas and as you can see, I stocked up! I actually spent THE MOST money on one purchase since starting this website. I’m not quite sure what happened besides the fact that I bought juice, Miracle Whip and a few veggies? The Fresh Express salad is on sale B1G1 and I didn’t have a coupon for them *gasp*. So, I did spend a lot out of pocket on the salad.. Oh well! I’m still pleased! I ended up saving 84.8% which I am thrilled about considering the amount I spent out of pocket 
The items I purchased today coincide with this week’s Publix Weekly ad. To see this week’s ad & coupon matchups, go HERE.

my 4 yr old grand daughter just saw this picture and said Liza bought the same stuff as us today!!! LOL. She knows your name from watching the videos! to cute
HI Liza, I noticed on some of my Crest coupons it says (excludes, cavity, tartar and baking soda protection). I have about 3 (.75) coupons which stated that. Therefore, I did not use them, was I correct for not using those coupons.
I still do not know how you spend so little.. I wish I could come home with paying the OOP and that much savings. I have done it once but it had to be luck!!! You did awesome and should be very proud!! way to go!
Hi Marie – I used the $0.75/1 Crest Toothpaste coupon from 7/4/10 PG. Check that coupon and see what the verbiage says on that one? I have used all mine but I think it said any Crest Toothpaste 4oz+?
Marie & Liza,
It seems there are two versions of the Crest coupon as I have both! They are each for .75/1 Crest paste 4.0 oz or larger however one states ‘excludes Cavity, Baking Sada & Tartar Protection) while the other has something in Spanish written below instead. Also, they both expire on 7/31/10.
Stupid question… do you have to buy 10 toothpastes to get the 10/$10 deal or are they $1 each regardless if you buys less than 10?
Hi Karen! Not a stupid question at all! You do not have to buy 10. If you live in FL, the only time you have to buy a certain amount of items is during B1G1 sales. $10/10 deals or 2/$5.00 deals are totally different. You only have to buy one item in those deals.
There were $1/1 peelies on some of the crest toothpaste. I only took four. I didn’t clear the shelf!
Liza thanks for the posting, I wanted to let everyone know that the fat free ravioli are included in the sale ( good to have during hurricane season ).
I got also 4 free Oral B toothbrushes stacking 2 of the $2/2 coupon and 4 of the $.50/1 target coupon.4 ..(as it was listed in one of the postings). I also bought 4 boxes of special k and 2 of kellogs lowfat granola. On the cereal I paid $.25 each box using 2 target coupons $1.50/3 special K cereals(previously printed from the Target site, 2 – $1/2 on kellogs cereal and 2- $1 kellogs lowfat granola.
Thanks for all you,
Millie

Hi Liza,
I wanted to share this great coupon for Honest Kids juice pouches,I buy @ Publix. My daughter loves them and they have much less sugar than Capri Sun. They are not on sale, I just thought I would share the site:
