Another week has come and gone. Time flies so quickly! Today’s Publix shopping trip I had one goal in mind and that was to stock up on candy. I like to have 6-8 bags of candy for our trick-or-treaters so after tonight I am just 2 bags away from my goal! You will notice that I did not purchase any produce or fresh meats. I just joined a veggie co-op and starting next week, I will begin picking up my weekly share of produce. The co-op is not cheap at all but since I’m really trying to add more fresh veggies into my diet and since I love to experiment with new foods, I think it will be worth the extra expense. So, unless I am in dire need of produce or unless there is an awesome sale, I will be living off of the produce I get each week. And, most of you know this already, but if you are new to Addicted to Saving, you will very seldom see me purchase fresh meats because I have a freezer full of frozen boneless, skinless chicken breasts as well as lean ground beef courtesy of Zaycon Foods. If you are new to Zaycon Foods, read my post HERE to learn how to get rock-bottom prices on high quality meats.
This week I did pretty good. I saved 77% and was able to get organic frozen veggies (I LOVE Cascadian Farms veggies), Cabot cheddar cheese, free Toll House cookies and much more. How did you do this week? I would love to hear!

Do you think the coupon for the free bag of candy when you buy 4 Tombstone Pizzas could be used along with the Target and Manufacturer coupon? I will be shopping tomorrow and thought about trying that but not sure if that is allowed. Thanks!
how do you sign up for the publix email counpons?
For Seh, yes you can use the coupon for the free bag of chocolate when you buy 4 Tombstone pizzas, but for a fun sized bag as it states on the coupon. In my Publix it was 3.59 @ reg price and think the max on the coupon was either 2.99 or 2.69 off. Still made for a great deal for a fun size bag. Too bad we already cracked into it. That bag of chocolate never had a chance in this house!! That’s why I decided on buying the Skittles for the Treat or Treaters…we really don’t eat those. Hope this helps!
there was a bag of the wonka candy that was 48oz at my publix it was the Wonka Mix ups 3lb bag, so if someone wants to use that target coupon they could get that bag
Nice find Stacy! I didn’t see that at my Publix!
I found one also it was a 48oz bag of wonka laffy taffy
Is the coupon for $1.50 off Ultimates cookies no longer available?
I just printed the coupon!
I found it shortly after I posted! D’oh.. I went to a different page, and didn’t see the little box for the coupon
