Photo Show & Tell: FREE Fresh Express Salad, FREE Country Crock, FREE Kraft Homestyle Mac & Cheese and More

Liza — Fri, 02 Nov 2012 21:02:33 +0000

Today’s shopping trip was a quick shopping trip! We were able to do really well by breaking our transaction into two. We used one $5/$30 Winn Dixie coupon on my transaction and hubby used the $5/$25 Save-a-Lot coupon on his transaction. Gotta love Publix! We did really well on the Country Crock, Kashi Steamed Meals (who says you can’t save on organic food??), Fresh Express Salad and Kraft Homestyle Mac & Cheese.

I also received a great haul at this week’s fruit & veggie coop. I haven’t posted this on Addicted to Saving yet but starting this upcoming week, I’m going to try readjusting my diet to see if it will eliminate (or at least ease) some of the health conditions I have. I’ve done so much research the past month and have really started to understand how foods impact your body both positively and negatively. So, I am going on the Paleo Diet as there have been countless people with my conditions who have found that this diet helped them drastically. So the coop is really important to me. It is a way that I can save a ton of money on fresh produce and at the same time keep my fridge stocked on foods that are Paleo friendly. If you live in Tampa Bay and would like to learn about this coop, go HERE. If you sign up to be on their mailing list, they will let you know if/when they open a pick-up location in your city or a nearby city to you!

How did you do this week? I would love to hear!

Photo Show & Tell: Cheez-It, Knorr Sides, Bugles, Van’s Waffles, Welch’s Essentials Juice, FREE Gum and more!

Liza — Fri, 26 Oct 2012 23:26:05 +0000

After today’s Publix shopping trip, I officially have enough candy for our trick-or-treaters! Today was a great shopping trip! You will see that we purchased a ton of Knorr Side Dishes. We are going to be sending them to my hubby’s sister who is a teacher in Africa. Their local grocery store doesn’t have packaged mixes like this and she misses them. So, this will be part of our Christmas present to her – she doesn’t need to know we got them for $0.29 each right? I also got two boxes of Van’s Waffles because my $2.00/1 coupons expire tomorrow. They weren’t on sale so I didn’t get the best deal in the world, but the coupons I had were high value AND I’m starting to wonder if I have a gluten allergy. I’m getting blood work in the next week and regardless of the results, I think I’m going to go off gluten and wheat. Eek. So, at least I will have two boxes of gluten-free waffles to help get me started!

We are also really trying to watch our spending every week because we are now participating in weekly coop. Our coop isn’t cheap, but we are getting a ton of produce. (above is this week’s share.) So you will no longer see me purchasing produce (unless I really need it or unless there is a spectacular sale). Also – as a reminder, my freezer is stocked of meat courtesy of Zaycon Foods. So you won’t see me purchasing a lot of fresh meat.

How did you do this week? I would love to hear!

Publix Photo Show & Tell: Halloween Candy, FREE Nestle Toll House Cookie Dough, Cascadian Farm Veggies and More

Liza — Sat, 20 Oct 2012 01:19:03 +0000

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!

Liza — Sat, 13 Oct 2012 00:30:58 +0000

I was thinking tonight that it feels like I just went shopping and in fact, I did just go shopping since I went four days ago! We’ve been home from the blogging conference we attended last weekend for five days now and I joke that I have a to-do list a mile long after attending the conference. Sadly, it isn’t quite a joke but I am seeing a little progress as I slowly cross tasks off the list. (Isn’t that the best feeling?) With all of my things to do, I’ve been quite busy. We’ve also had some concerns about my 8 year old cavalier king charles spaniel Pacey. Pacey has been having problems swallowing and he’s been quite lethargic. We have to bring him back to the vet tomorrow but our vet suspects he either has a mass somewhere in his throat or he has a condition where either his esophagus or larynx become paralyzed. We don’t know for sure what is going on and I keep thinking (hoping) he has a cold.. Our vet has assured us, however, that this is not cold related which is just a major bummer. But that is life right?

So tonight’s shopping trip was a diverse trip. I was able to get some Spaghettios to donate (I’m starting to “stockpile” items to donate over the holiday season. Remember that food pantries run low over the holidays so I strongly encourage you to put your couponing skills to good use and set some of your groceries aside to give away!). Hubby is THRILLED that Totino’s Party Pizza was on sale. I will be upfront and admit that I have no idea why he likes them! We got some other good deals and everything is listed below.

Another week has come and gone. Now that we are almost to the middle of September, I’m already starting to think ahead towards the holidays which is crazy! Time flies, doesn’t it? We have been juggling normal, every day life with all of our adoption preparations and planning. I get a bit overwhelmed if I stop and think about all of the things we have accomplished and yet at the same time still have yet to do. Because I had a major grocery shopping haul last week, this week I didn’t have a ton on my grocery list.

We’ve had a wonderful week this week! I never told all of you this while he was gone, but hubby was away for almost two weeks on a missions trip in Ethiopia and then Uganda. So it was just me “manning” the house, the pets and then of course blogging. Hubby got home over the weekend and life is slowly going back to normal which is nice. I also posted this just a few days ago but we have accepted a referral for a 2 month old baby boy in Ethiopia. (If interested, go HERE to read more info on our adoption blog) So life has been a bit crazy as we are scrambling to gather the necessary paperwork, schedule yet another homestudy and then schedule the necessary doctor appointments needed for us to have our adoption proceed quickly. It is crazy to think that in just two or three months we will be in Ethiopia. Hmm… I wonder if I will be able to blog while in Ethiopia?

With the craziness of my life lately, shopping hasn’t been a huge priority. But for the first time in a long time, I felt excited about this week’s shopping trip since there were some awesome deals to take advantage of! As you all already know, last night I sent hubby to Publix to get us 12 boxes of Dr. Pepper for $0.33 each. (Go HERE to see our photo show and tell from last night.) Tonight, I had enough Dr Pepper coupons to get four more 12-packs. I did get a lot of produce since I was running low. So the produce and eggs drove my total up a bit, but I still saved a ton of money using $49.00 worth of coupons!

What did all of you purchase this week? How did you do? I would love to hear!

Below is what I bought and the coupons I used:

Well – you can see from my picture above that I didn’t purchase that many groceries today! Hubby has been out of the country for almost the past two weeks on a missions trip in Ethiopia and Uganda so I’m not going through a ton of food without him here! Because of that, my grocery list was short and I also didn’t find a lot of sales jumping out at me. But I’m really glad I was able to get the Helmann’s mayo deal and I’m also glad I decided to try the Ben & Jerry’s Greek Frozen Yogurt. (I opened a carton after taking the picture above and it is SO good.) Hopefully you were able to score some great deals this week!

What did all of you purchase this week? How did you do? I would love to hear!

Did everyone have a good week? I’m exhausted! This was a busy week for me. So busy that I contemplated skipping out on today’s Publix shopping trip. But looking at everything I scored, I’m happy I went. I was so excited to buy boxes of crackers for $0.50 each (stockpile price everyone!) and then to get Aquafresh toothpaste (awesome item to donate) and Chips Ahoy! Cookies for free! I noticed today that about 90% of the coupons I used (if not more) were printable coupons. I’m curious, are you finding that you are using more printable coupons than coupons from your Sunday coupon inserts? As a reminder, for those of you who are new to my Photo Show and Tells, I didn’t purchase any meat because I stocked up last time Zaycon Foods came to town (go HERE to learn about Zaycon Foods). And, I have been using Half Off Depot vouchers on Harr’s Surf and Turf to score awesome deals on fresh salmon so I have been set on seafood. Since I have a freezer stocked with meat and seafood, I focus each week on produce, dairy products and then the best deals that are available.

What did all of you purchase this week? How did you do? I would love to hear!

Below is what I bought and the coupons I used:

6 Pepperidge Farms Jingos Crackers on sale BOGO $2.99 for two

I ran to Publix a bit later today than normal. So I was expecting to see my store wiped clean of some of the items on my grocery list.

Photo Show and Tell – Publix 8/3/12

Liza — Fri, 03 Aug 2012 22:16:22 +0000

I can not believe that it is already August. This summer has come and gone so quickly! This week, we had the pleasure of watching a four month old Golden Retriever Puppy. She was the absolute sweetest thing. While she definitely added more work to our daily routines, she was a fun addition and she made the week absolutely fly by.

Today I went to Publix thinking that they would be out of Smucker’s Uncrustables. You all know that I have been posting about this deal for a week now so I assumed you all would have beat me to them. Well, I was pleasantly surprised to see that I was able to use all 8 of my coupons! We will probably go through one box in our house but we have friends with 5 kids so I have a good home to send the remaining seven boxes to Beyond that, today wasn’t a very exciting trip. Although, I was very excited about the green grapes I bought – they are super firm and perhaps the largest grapes I’ve ever bought. I was also happy with the fact that the cherries were again on sale for $1.99/lb. The asparagus was a last minute decision – it looked good and I thought it would be a great addition to the meal I’m preparing for dinner tonight.

I should note that hubby and I went shopping together so I split my purchase into two transactions so that he could use a $5/$30 Winn Dixie coupon and I could use a $5/$25 Save-a-Lot coupon.

How did you do this week shopping? Please leave a comment letting everyone know how you did!

My friend Kelly emailed me the picture above of the groceries she scored at Publix yesterday! She and I have been talking about how it is challenging to save money at Publix lately. Don’t get me wrong, the sales are still awesome. The problem is that the coupon matchups for the sales are sub par lately. Nonetheless, Kelly was able to spend just $15.23 on everything pictured and she saved $63.48! That is savings of 80.7%!

Phew! Well, another week has come and gone! This has been a tough summer for us. It has flown by and had lots of ups and downs. I can’t believe that August is just next week! So I did a ton of shopping the past two days. I went to two Targets yesterday to take advantage of their awesome July Toy Clearance Sale. (To see my Photo Show and Tell, go HERE.) Then, today I headed out to Publix. Yet again, I am a bit disappointed with the sales/coupon combos available right now. But we have to make do with the sales and I do remind myself that I’m still saving more money by maximizing sales by using coupons versus not using any coupons at all. Right? Hubby and I went shopping together so we broke up our transaction into two transactions

Have you gone grocery shopping this week yet? I’m a bit disappointed with the current sales at Publix. Hence the fact that I didn’t purchase a lot this week. Yesterday we picked up 40 pounds of lean ground beef and 40 pounds of boneless, skinless, chicken breasts from the Zaycon Foods. So we are stocked on fresh meat. Honestly, today I wouldn’t have gone shopping if I hadn’t skipped out last week when we were out of town in St Louis. Today’s haul wasn’t a big one. We needed milk and tomatoes. And we can always use more coffee for pantry. I was excited about the Smithfield and really excited about the Smartfood Selects. (I love Smartfood popcorn and haven’t tried Selects yet, have you?)

How did you do this week shopping? I hope you were able to spend less and save more than I did! Please leave a comment letting everyone know how you did!

Reader Success Photo Show and Tells

Liza — Fri, 06 Jul 2012 22:21:16 +0000

As many of you know, earlier this week I posted asking for all of you to send me your photo show and tells for this week. I was surprised by how many of you responded via either email or Addicted to Saving’s Facebook page! Thank you all so much! To fill you in on my life, we are out of town right now so I don’t have a Publix nearby to go grocery shopping at. Part of me is disappointed that I can’t go grocery shopping but the other part of me is okay with it since this week’s sales ad is a bit slow. Although, now that I’ve reviewed all of your photos, I’m seeing there are actually some great deals to take advantage of this week!

Cindy S did awesome! She spent $8.56 on everything pictured above and saved $71.30!

Jess G. went shopping to Publix and Winn Dixie and ended up spending $35.55 and saving $66.72!

Natalie D. went to CVS and after using coupons and ECBs, she spent $6.99 cash and received a $10.00 Shell gas card! And, Natalie purchased two bottles of Pantene that are not pictured!

Dana R went to Publix and spent $2.23 and saved $37.21! Love it!

And Candy S. went to Publix and they paid her $0.75 to take all of this out of the store. Can you say, “Wow!” Look at her receipt below:

If I missed any of you I am sorry, but I’ll try to get you next time around. I am so impressed with your savings – way to go everyone!

Photo Show and Tell – Publix 6/29/12

Liza — Fri, 29 Jun 2012 21:37:07 +0000

Whew! What a week! So this week we’ve had a ton on our plate! We decided to paint our guest bedroom which will be our nursery in August. I know I’ve said that I didn’t want to get too emotionally involved in decorating until our adoption is final but as we are getting closer and closer to August, we have decided that there are certain things that we need to do prior to baby girl’s arrival. I’m fortunate because hubby used to own a painting company. He painted the nursery (pictured below) in just a few hours. Besides painting the nursery, we’ve torn our flooring up in the majority of our house so hubby and one of his best friends can put down new flooring. All of our furniture is piled on top of each other and basically my house could very easily pass for a pig pen. Today and tomorrow (Saturday, 6/30), we are holding our adoption garage sale fundraiser. We are holding this garage sale at the house of friends who live 40 minutes away so many hours were spent bringing truckloads of stuff to their house in preparation of the sale. Then, this morning, we were up at 4 am loading up yet another truckload and then heading over to get ready for our sale. Today we were able to raise $829.00! Such a blessing. Oh – and this week, my blog crashed twice. SO – with everything on our plate (including adoption ups and downs), we are whipped. Physically and emotionally.

Despite being tired, I was able to sneak away last night to Publix. When I typed up this week’s Publix weekly ad and coupon matchups, I wasn’t that overwhelmed with the sales. But in actuality, if you have the right coupons, you can get some great deals! I had a $25.00 Publix Gift card that was given to me by a company I work with which made my shopping trip fun as I only came out of pocket $1.64 for everything :)!

How did you do at Publix this week? I was hoping for greater savings today but we weren’t able to save as much as I wanted. Hopefully you all saved more money than me this week! I am so excited that Zaycon Foods is coming back to my area so I can stock up on $1.59/lb Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts and $3.29/lb Lean Ground Beef. (Go HERE to read more about Zaycon Foods.) My major scores today at Publix were free Yakisoba Noodles (to donate) and squash for $0.99/lb!

Today’s Publix trip coincided with a huge thunderstorm. Hubby decided to take some pictures to share with you. Hopefully you all stayed dry through the rain and stayed safe if you drove through it!

Another week has come and gone and I’m still not sure where the time has gone! I’m finding that all of my energy is going into working on Addicted to Saving and planning and preparing for our adoptions. So by the end of the week, I’m spent! Today hubby and I waited until the last minute to go on our almost weekly Publix shopping trip/date. And, we were too late. I could tell that many of you had already been to Publix because some of the deals I wanted to take advantage of were sold out! So, hubby dropped me off at home and then graciously went to a different Publix to finish up our shopping trip. The benefit of this is that we were able to use two $5.00/$30.00 Winn Dixie coupons. I’ve split both of the trips up so that you can see what I purchased at each store. I also should note that tomorrow I’m heading to Winn Dixie to purchase some more produce. I’m not loving Publix’s produce sales this week. (I did get a sneak peek at next week’s produce sales and there are some good ones!)

Have you gone grocery shopping yet this week? I was pretty pleased with my trip today. Last week we had friends over and we sent them home with at least 60% of the food in our large freezer in the garage so it was fun to go shopping this week and fill some of all of that empty space again! It was interesting to look in my grocery cart today because almost everything was refrigerated or frozen! I’ve talked about my stockpile in the past and we still have tons of frozen chicken to live off of but our ground beef stockpile is running low. So I am excited that Zaycon Foods is bringing ground beef to their next event so I can stock up on it. Many of you ask me each week how long it takes to get a stockpile sufficient enough to live off of. I think on average, it should take you about 3 – 4 months to get a stockpile large enough that you can cook off of it every day/night. Once your stockpile becomes large, will have the luxury of only buying items when they are dirt cheap as well as the staples you need each week like fresh dairy and produce!

NOTE – you will see pictured on my kitchen table, two boxes of Nestle Drumsticks Ice Cream Cones. (they are pictured behind the Smart Ones) DO NOT get those two boxes. They are not included in the sale. For the first time in over a year, I will be returning groceries that I purchased. I can’t live with keeping them knowing each box cost 6.99

How did you do this week shopping? I hope you were able to spend less and save more than I did! Please leave a comment letting everyone know how you did!

This week’s Publix Weekly Ad is not that exciting for me. After all of the fun I had last week with Publix’s sales, I guess it is okay that this week was a bit slow? I found that this week, there was not a lot of store coupons for me to use on the deals. So, the lack of stacking definitely affected my savings ratio!

We’ve had a busy week this week (when is it not busy though, right?). Lots of adoption progess and if everything goes according to plan, we should be bringing home a newborn baby girl in less than two and a half months. This is the biggest emotional roller coaster I’ve ever been on. We are submerged in big time budgeting, fundraising, filling out grant applications, planning a huge garage sale as well as planning a fundraising event. Life is good though.

How did you do this week shopping? I hope you were able to spend less and save more than I did! Please leave a comment letting everyone know how you did!

I am extremely pleased with this week’s Publix sale! Lots of grilling and summer related sales since Memorial Day is this weekend! If you are new to viewing my Photo Show and Tells, each week, I do my Publix shopping trip and then photo what I purchased as well as explain what coupons I used for each deal. (Ten years ago I never would have predicted that I would be photographing everything I purchased at the grocery store ;)) I type up this Photo Show and Tell so that you can copy any deals you are interested in. You should also know that I have a huge stockpile of frozen meat courtesy of Zaycon Foods. Because of this, each week I focus on the best deals that I can add to my stockpile and/or give away to friends and family. My favorite deal that I took advantage of this week was the Morningstar Veggie Burgers. My hubby and I LOVE the Spicy Black Bean burgers and we especially love them when they are one sale BOGO AND there are $1.00/1 MorningStar Farms Veggie Product coupons to use along with them. These burgers do not expire until November ’12 and we are figuring 6 boxes should last us until then. Yummo. I also sent Jeff to Winn Dixie tonight to score FREE Ocean Spray Juice as well as some fresh produce.

How did you do this week shopping? I hope you were able to spend less and save more than I did! Please leave a comment letting everyone know how you did!

I am almost ashamed to put this picture up! Hubby and I went to Publix tonight and as we were walking with our empty grocery cart, he looked at me and said, “Are you sure you are Liza from Addicted to Saving?” Our savings were paltry, I didn’t stock up on anything (except the, ahem, chocolate) and we barely took advantage of any of the sales!

This was a really crazy week for us. In fact, I apologize because some of my regular posts went by the wayside. We have had a really up and down week with adoption stuff and next week I will post about everything to fill you all in. Let’s just say that this week included many nights of way too little sleep, lots of nervous stomachs and lots of praying. But I’ll fill you in soon – promise.

How did you do this week shopping? I hope you were able to spend less and save more than I did! Please leave a comment letting everyone know how you did!

Photo Show and Tell – Publix 5/4/12

Did you all have a good week? Originally I thought I was going to have a nice, relaxing week filled with posting deals on Addicted to Saving, spending time with my dogs, going on runs, and cooking new meals. Well, let’s just say that I think I had one relaxing day and that was Monday. Every other day has been filled with appointments, important phone calls, decision making, working on adoption stuff and then today hubby and I were filmed on Daytime TV to talk about adoption. Speaking of adoption, if you haven’t checked out our one week old adoption blog, it is Addicted to Adoption. Oh – and I’m also in the midst of doing an organizational overhaul to my kitchen. My kitchen has a good amount of cabinet space but after being in this house for six years, we have accumulated a lot of stuff! So – I have purchased some furniture to act as extra storage for tupperware, kitchen gadgets, vitacost vitamins, etc. My kitchen is still a work in progress and until it is organized, I don’t think I will feel relaxed in my kitchen. (I hate cooking in a disheveled kitchen!)

Today’s Publix run was not a neccesary grocery trip. Earlier this week we bought more produce so today, what we really needed was milk and Half & Half. Despite having a full stockpile, there were some great deals and some great freebies today that I couldn’t overlook! We don’t drink much soda in this house (about one bottle a month), so the soda you see will be given away. Same for most of the Eggo pancakes.

How did you do this week shopping? I hope you were able to spend less and save more than I did! Please leave a comment letting everyone know how you did!

Well this has been a LONG week for me! Looking back, every day this week I had appointments, a tad bit of stress and lots of planning for Thursday night’s Addicted to Saving class. So I am extremely happy the week is almost over! Class was a success and I think I counted that I was able to meet at least 30 of you all either talking to you before or after the class. So fun for me! (I will post more about class soon :)) So – all this to say about my week, I wasn’t that enthused about shopping tonight. Especially knowing I still had to work on drugstore matchups for all of you. Fortunately, I have a very helpful hubby. So I printed out my grocery list and hubby headed to the store for me. I didn’t think this week’s sale was that impressive and we didn’t need much at all so our grocery list was short.

How did you do this week shopping? I hope you were able to spend less and save more than I did! Please leave a comment letting everyone know how you did!

I can’t believe it is Friday already! These weeks are flying by! My weeks have been filled with working on Addicted to Saving and planning for my upcoming Addicted to Saving 101 class this Thursday in Clearwater. We are also working on keeping our six month old puppy potty trained. I say “keeping” because last week he regressed! He had gone about 2 weeks without any accidents and then all of a sudden, he had 2 peeing accidents and 2 pooping accidents. The joys of having a puppy! We were ready to schedule an appointment to get our carpets cleaned but now I think we will wait a little longer before we assume our house will be accident free

Today’s Publix shopping trip was better than last week (if you recall, I spent a bit more $$ then I would have preferred)! But we did spend more money then I would have liked. Fortunately, we bought 4 bags of coffee so we should be well stocked for at least a couple of weeks!

Well, another week has come and gone. Today hubby and I headed to Publix to do our weekly shopping trip. I had put together a really long grocery list and for some reason, I wasn’t thinking that I was going to be spending a lot of money. But four pounds of shredded cheese adds up (even with my $1.00 off cheese coupons), two boxes of trash bags and at least $20 worth of fresh produce added up quickly. So, we spent more then I would have liked. To bring you up to date, I finished my 10 day juice cleanse on Monday and now we are juicing every morning and eating normal the rest of the day. As you know, the cost of produce adds up! I also took advantage of the $10.00 off $50.00 Gas Card coupon although I did not include those numbers below since the gas card is part of our gas budget (not grocery budget).

How did you do this week shopping? I hope you were able to spend less and save more than I did! Please leave a comment letting everyone know how you did!

Photo Show and Tell – Publix 3/30/12

Liza — Sat, 31 Mar 2012 00:29:47 +0000

Well – this week came and went quickly! This past Sunday, I took my husband to Orlando to celebrate his birthday a couple of days early and being gone all day and then working on the Publix ad all Sunday night threw my week off a bit. I never quite got caught up! We’ve also been making a lot of plans for my upcoming Addicted to Saving Seminar in Clearwater on April 26th. (Go HERE for more info.) So with lack of sleep, birthday celebrations, work and life, I’m tired!

We went to Publix together this evening (yup – another Publix date night) and while we saved a lot of money ($170), we also spent a lot of money! In fact, I think I spent the most money today that I have all year! There are some great sales though and some of the sales – even with coupons – still cost a lot. And, I’m starting a 10 day juice fast tomorrow morning so I made sure to get some produce and I also plan on going to Winn Dixie to get more produce with some gift cards I’ve had stashed away for a while. Thank you to everyone who left comments on Addicted to Saving, facebook and via email with recipes for juice recipes. **feel free to leave a comment on this post with your recipes if you have more to share! You all have inspired me to try this juice fast out! (Well, the movie Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead really inspired me. I figure that if juicing can cure some people of autoimmune disorders, maybe it can help some of my ailments. I’m hopefully optimistic and will keep you all posted on how it goes!)

Oh – and if you missed the adorable picture of my 5 month old puppy Louie that I posted on Addicted to Saving’s Facebook page earlier today, below is him sitting on our couch like an old man. Hasn’t he gotten big since I posted about him last?

Photo Show and Tell – Publix 3/23/12

Liza — Fri, 23 Mar 2012 21:27:19 +0000

It was a great day to shop at Publix! I ended up spending much less than I anticipated. And, I was able to get some fruit and veggies for the new juicer I just got. I haven’t tried my juicer yet (I’m scared :)) but I’m excited to try out some recipes for fresh juice! **If you have a juicer, I would love it if you would leave some juicing tips and recipes! I was able to score some great deals thanks to a lot of store and manufacturer coupon matchups. My major challenge for the day today was paying attention to sizes on the coupons. For example, the Free Kraft Macaroni & Cheese coupons only covered the 7.25 oz sized boxes of the Kraft Mac & Cheese on sale BOGO. Most of the Kraft Mac & Cheese on sale were smaller boxes. This happened for a couple of other deals I took advantage of so my message to all of you is to really read your coupons to make sure they work on the items you are buying. If they don’t work, the store will not be reimbursed for them.

Well – I am slowly learning my lesson about doing my weekly Publix shopping trip late in the afternoon on Friday afternoons because all of you have already been there and wiped the shelves clean! Despite not being able to do the Family Size chips deal that I had planned out in my head, I still did great! And, for the first time, my store had Kraft Fresh Take in stock so I was excited to finally be able to score six Kraft Fresh Take for free I’m especially excited to try the Chili Lime & Panko flavor. I also was thrilled to see that my Publix had lots of Blue Diamond Soy and Wasabi Almonds. That is our favorite flavor and I don’t think I’ve ever been able to get this good of a deal on them. So, my hubby and I are very happy! My only disappointment for today was realizing that I left my $2.00 off Publix bakery coupon at home.

What a week! Last week I was thankful about the fact that I never got my husband’s sickness. Well, maybe the thankfulness was a bit presumptuous because late Monday night I got sick and I’m still hanging onto it. Not fun. Today has been a busy day for us so I put together today’s Publix shopping list and sent my husband to tackle the sales. Meanwhile, I went with our puppy to the vet for his third round of shots where I left with a $200+ vet bill. How in the world does that happen?!? Hubby did really well at Publix though. He used six of our $2.00/$2.00 Publix produce coupons since they do not limit one coupon per customer (he also asked the produce manager for permission ;)).

I can not believe how time is flying! My husband and I had an afternoon Publix date today and I realized that I haven’t been to Publix in two weeks since last weekend I was in Nashville! We had a great time in Nashville learning about blogging, meeting other bloggers and meeting Joe Jonas and Rascal Flatts. This week took a bit of time getting into the swing of things as we have been battling exhaustion and colds. But we are on the mend and I’m thankful for that!

Today’s Publix shopping trip wasn’t the most amazing in the world. I was focusing on a lot of “healthier” options today so we spent a little more then I would have liked. But, it is worth it. Would rather save just 50% and get all healthy food versus save 100% and get all junk. (Don’t get me wrong – I like my junk food – I’m just trying to focus on having a primarily healthy diet.) I actually contemplated going on a cleanse this week. Not so much as to lose weight as to get rid of the toxins in my system and to lose some of my cravings for junk food. Have any of you done that before? Would love to hear your thoughts as well as the type of cleanse you did.

Also – as a note for the items I purchased below, I was able to use the $0.50/1 Maggi Soup Mix coupon to score FREE soup mix. The verbiage on the coupon is extremely confusing so I can not promise your store will honor it the way mine did.

Photo Show and Tell – 15 Boxes of Kellogg’s Cereal and more for $11.69

Liza — Sat, 18 Feb 2012 17:04:09 +0000

If you are in need of cereal, head over to Publix! This weekend (Saturday and Sunday, 2/17-2/18) all Kellogg’s cereal is on sale 50% off!! There are times like these when I wish I had kids to buy fun cereals for! Since we don’t, we bought cereals for some of our favorite kiddos and also a couple for us. In the picture in front of you, there are 15 boxes of Kellogg’s cereals as well as one carton of Publix Half & Half. We used three $5.00 off 5 Kellogg’s Cereal coupons, one $5.00 off $30+ Publix coupon and our cashier also let us use one $2/$2 Publix coupon. So, everything in the picture cost $11.69 which was savings of 81.6%. Not too shabby!!

**update – as a head’s up – make sure you don’t make the same mistake I did.. The coupon is good for boxes 10 oz+ and I mistakingly got two boxes that were under 10 oz..

If you haven’t printed the HOT $5.00/5 Kellogg’s Cereal coupon, I think it is still available. Go HERE and type in zip 79928.

I can’t believe a year has passed since last year’s Publix Italian Days sale! I must admit that this year’s sale isn’t quite as impressive as last year’s. Last year Publix gave us slightly better coupons. Despite this, you can still get great deals at Publix right now! I had fun putting together my scenarios for today’s shopping trip – and yes – you will see that despite the stockpile I currently have of canned beans, I bought more today. I can’t wait to hear how all of you did – please leave me comment and let me know!

**P.S. If you are shopping at Publix Saturday 2/18 or Sunday 2/19 read my post HERE to HEREto print two sets of awesome $5/5 Kellogg’s cereal coupon that will go perfectly with the 50% off sale!!

Photo Show and Tell – Publix 2/10/12

Liza — Sat, 11 Feb 2012 02:25:10 +0000

We have had another busy week and yet again I waited until the last minute to go grocery shopping. We’ve been working a lot on our adoption paperwork for our Haiti adoption and it seems that we have such a neverending list of things to do (adoption and non-adoption related) that life is a little overwhelming. I love lists and I love crossing out items on the list. Right now I just don’t see our list shortening – instead it seems to get longer by the second. I don’t know if that is what happens when you are grown up? Hubby and I took a break from life and had a date night at Publix (so NOT romantic – let me tell you). We ended our date with making a frozen pizza for dinner. Gotta love it! I didn’t have the most success today at Publix. While there are some good sales, I wasn’t overwhelmed with them. And, I did spend more then I would have liked to today. My husband wanted me to get two of the POM drinks which were a deal but not that good of a deal. Same thing for the Resolve. I was SUPER excited for the Weiman Stove Top cleaner sale. I’ve never tried this product before it was a great deal and I’m always trying to keep my glass-top clean.

Photo Show and Tell – Publix 1/27/12

Liza — Sat, 28 Jan 2012 02:03:20 +0000

Are these weeks flying by for you guys too? Another week has come and gone and it has been a whirlwind for my husband and I. (I will post more about that next week.) So, to celebrate tonight being Friday, my husband and I had a Publix date night. And now we are home and I’m typing up this Photo Show & Tell while he is warming up leftovers from last night. Yup. We are that boring! This week’s sale wasn’t too impressive for me but I still was able to do a pretty good job at Publix. Last night we picked up ground beef and bacon from the local Zaycon Foods event so we now have enough boneless, skinless chicken breasts, ground beef and bacon to feed a small army. So yet again, I focused on the good sales at Publix and tried to maximize the sales with coupons. My favorite deal that I did tonight was the LaCroix Sparkling Water deal – I love that water and with the $1.00 off coupons, each can ended up being right around 10 cents!

Photo Show and Tell – Publix 1/20/12

Liza — Sat, 21 Jan 2012 02:21:45 +0000

I did my weekly Publix shopping trip today. I’m not going to lie – I’m a bit disappointed with the sales lately. This week showed some good sales but nothing like I wanted. I REALLY want a sales week like this one HERE. This week I didn’t buy a ton of produce besides the raspberries and apples. I did buy two Butternut Squash (I’ve never made butternut squash soup but I plan to this week) and one Spaghetti Squash to use with my homemade sauce and meatballs (another thing I plan on making this week). All of the squash definitely added up but it will be worth it in the end. I was pleased with the tuna sale as well as with all of the crackers sales. And I did buy 10 boxes of Weight Watchers Smart Ones although you can’t quite tell from the picture. I also did the $50.00 gas card deal although I did not include that in my totals below since I don’t include gas in my grocery budget.

I know what you all are going to think when you see this picture. You are going to think that I barely bought anything and that there is no way I can live off of today’s shopping trip. You are right on both counts! This week’s Publix ad is disappointing to me. I am fortunate in that I have been couponing for years now and so I have a stockpile that is more than sufficient. So today I went to Publix with the buying around $30.00 worth of groceries (after sale and before coupons) so that I could use one of my $5 off $30 coupons. I’m hoping that next week’s sale is better. I have only been grocery shopping twice thus far in year 2012 and I haven’t been impressed with my savings or my results.

I have been taking advantage of the Zaycon Foodsevents, and so I have a ton of meat frozen away so I will not have to pay full price on lean meat for months to come. I am literally swimming in boneless, skinless chicken breasts. And, I am going in with friends on the upcoming Zaycon Foods bacon and ground beef deals so I know I will have enough meat to live on for a long time. (If you are new to Zaycon Foods, read my post HERE to learn more about Zaycon and to take advantage of their awesome meat deals!)

**If you like feta cheese (we LOVE it), make sure you read my post about the unadvertised Publix BOGO sale plus $1/2 printable coupon! I didn’t have this coupon on me when I went shopping tonight otherwise I would have taken advantage of this deal! Go HERE to read my post.

Photo Show and Tell – Publix 1/6/12

Liza — Sat, 07 Jan 2012 01:14:29 +0000

Anyone else happy it is Friday? We got in early Tuesday morning from spending almost a week in St Louis and it took me a couple of days to recover on lost sleep. And then today was a busy day – I was used as a hair model for the celebrity hair stylist David Evangelista this morning on Daytime. I can’t say I love what he did to my hair, but he was a lot of fun and it was a new experience for me. (A motto I gave myself last year was to never close the door on random opportunities that present themselves to me.)

So, with the lack of energy this week and with the busy day I had today, I wasn’t excited about going shopping tonight. And truthfully, I probably wouldn’t have shopped if I didn’t have to do this Photo Show & Tell. Well, for my first shopping trip since before Christmas, this is/was a pretty bad one. The sales are decent but I just didn’t have enough coupons to really get good deals. And, while I posted a ton of hot coupons on January 1st and 2nd, I was working from my inlaw’s house in St Louis so I didn’t print ANY of the coupons I posted about. Lesson learned. Had I printed the coupons from the 1st and 2nd, I would have gotten better deals today. I’m also swimming in fresh $1.69/lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts from the Zaycon Foods deal I posted about earlier this week. So, with my stockpile and tons of meat, I don’t need that much.

Today I was able to get some fresh produce. And, I got over $25.00 worth of groceries so I was able to save $10.00 on a gas card. I was pleased about that.

On the homefront, below is an updated picture of the newest addition to our family. Louie (short for Luigi) is almost 11 weeks old. He’s a lot of fun, beyond adorable and a lot of work. Our 7 year old dog (Pacey) is starting to become accustomed to the fact that Louie is in fact staying and while the two of them are not yet buddies, I see a promising future. (We took the picture below while I made dinner tonight. He fell asleep on his stuffed animal. Too cute.)

How did you do this week shopping? I hope you were able to spend less and save more than I did! Please leave a comment letting everyone know how you did!

Photo Show & Tell – Publix 12/16/11

Well – as you can see from the picture above, there wasn’t much space left on our kitchen table after today’s shopping trip! So today I sent my husband armed and dangerous to Publix. I gave him a detailed grocery list and put together the scenarios and then sent him on his way. I’m fortunate because by now, after hearing me speak at dozens of seminars, he fully understands couponing. So, when I send him out, I very seldom worry. Today he did excellent. My only complaint is that didn’t get me whole grain Ritz crackers. But if that is my only complaint, we are doing good!

We did really well today – total spent was $28.97 on everything above I was especially excited about the Zephyrhills Sparkling water deal. I love sparkling water and would drink that any day over soda or juice. So to get 12 bottles for free was an awesome blessing! In my notes below, I also give you a different scenario for Zephyrhills. We got our bottles for free but not with much overage. If you would prefer the overage, see my note below.

How did you do this week shopping? I hope you were able to spend less and save more than I did! Please leave a comment letting everyone know how you did!

Photo Show and Tell – Publix 12/9/11

Liza — Fri, 09 Dec 2011 23:31:34 +0000

Well, it has been a long week for us! I found this week to be a slow week at Publix, but despite that, I certainly seemed to have bought a lot! I used one $5.00 off $30.00 Publix coupon, one Free $10.00 Target Gift Card when you spend $50+ AND a $10.00 off $100.00 American Express Gift Card when you buy $25.00+ in groceries. SO, I had to spend $105.00 worth of groceries before coupons which was a very difficult feat this week. Fortunately, I still had six $5.00 off Bengay coupons and the Bengay was on sale for $5.99. So, I was able to add $35.94 worth of groceries just by getting the Bengay. (And, I will put it to good use as I’m sidelined with an injury right now. That is another story though. sigh.) I’m still loving the zucchini and squash sales! And, I meant to buy a cantaloupe but forgot (it is on sale 2/$4.00 which is a great price). **I didn’t include the AMEX gift card in my final totals since I look at it basically as a gift card to put towards future grocery shopping trips The AMEX deal really isn’t that good when you factor in the activation fee.

How did you do this week shopping? I hope you were able to spend less and save more than I did! Please leave a comment letting everyone know how you did!

Well… I don’t have many words for this past week. It was a great week in that I had three speaking engagements and was able to speak to and with over 150 people. It was bad because from Tuesday through today there have been website gliches that have robbed me of sleep and have taken me away from posting like I normally do. I’ve learned a lot this week though and I’ve found myself constantly reminding myself that it could always be worse. So – for those of you who have been patient with me this week as I’ve missed deals, missed matchups, not responded to emails, etc, thank you for your patience. I am hoping that starting this upcoming week, everything will go back to normal. They better because I’m looking forward to posting hundreds of deals on Black Friday and Cyber Monday! So, get excited – if you decide you want to buy your Christmas presents online this year, I’ll be throwing lots of time sensitive deals your way next weekend!

Now – to Publix. This is an AWESOME week to shop at Publix. As you can see from the picture above, I bought A TON of food. So much that when they bagged my groceries, the bagger brought a second cart to load all of my stuff. (Love it when that happens ;)) I took advantage of a ton of amazing deals but also of a lot of the great produce deals available this week. I received the $5.00 Publix Gift Card from the Kellogg’s Mail in Rebate this past summer so I used that. And, I used one of the free $25.00 American Express gift cards I received from the freebie I posted about HERE. So, after coupons and the two free gift cards, I spent $9.57. Not too shabby! That is on $207 worth of groceries! LOVE it!

**Update – I did receive a comment on Facebook regarding the fact that I used the $25 American Express gift card at a large grocery store versus a small chain. Let me address that. I used it because when I posted about receiving my cards in the mail (earlier this week), I took a picture of the cards and didn’t think about covering the gift cards # on it. I received two anonymous emails about this and I was concerned the cards had already been used by a reader.. So, I used it today because I wanted to use it asap. I guess if I really think about it, I am a small business and so while I didn’t put it towards another business, I did help my business by lowering my out of pocket expenses for this week

How did you do this week shopping? I hope you were able to spend less and save more than I did! Please leave a comment letting everyone know how you did!

Photo Show and Tell – Publix 11/11/11

Liza — Sat, 12 Nov 2011 02:39:39 +0000

Today was a great Publix shopping day! If you are noticing that my photo is lacking fresh produce, you are right! I received a delivery from Tampa Bay Organics using the Groupon certificate I posted about in June. So, I have plenty of produce in my fridge to last the next week. Tonight I actually sent my hubby to do my shopping for me. This was a busy week and next week is 100% busier so I spent some of today preparing for my week ahead. I sent hubby with a detailed grocery list though and he did a great job! Especially considering the fact that I didn’t have a ton on my list. I read many of your comments that you were disappointed you didn’t have all of the coupons I listed in my matchups. If it makes you feel any better, I was missing many of the coupons as well My store is finally carrying Dr Pepper Ten so I was extremely excited to get five bottles free! I still have a few more coupons to use so hopefully my store will restock their shelves before the coupons expire!

How did you do this week shopping? I hope you were able to spend less and save more than I did! Please leave a comment letting everyone know how you did!

This was not one of the best sales weeks at Publix but I was able to do a decent job. I really needed to get a bit of produce so that brought my out of pocket costs up. And, I bought a package of fresh boneless, skinless chicken breasts which as many of you know, I don’t need (since I have 65+ pounds frozen away in my freezer). But, I had a $1.00 off Publix chicken coupon that an awesome reader sent me. And, the chicken had a $1.00 off Shake ‘n Bake & Chicken peelie on it so I was able to get a box of Shake ‘n Bake as well. My favorite deal of the night was by far the Swanson Chicken Broth. I use this on a weekly basis in soups, pastas and more so I’m excited to have been able to buy 8 boxes. I just wish I had more coupons to buy more! I did mistakingly buy the wrong Vlasic pickles that were not included in the sale.. Such a bummer. And, no, I probably will not return them. I did, however, end up spending more out of pocket than I should have since I screwed up.

How did you do this week shopping? I hope you were able to spend less and save more than I did! Please leave a comment letting everyone know how you did!

I had a great Publix shopping trip yesterday! My schedule today is crazy so I wanted to get my shopping out of the way today. It was a great trip. I had numerous free coupons I had received in the mail that were expiring 10/31 so I used many of them. I also took full advantage of the Hefty One Zip deal. $0.70 per box of Hefty One Zip freezer bags is an awesome price! I can’t say that this week’s sales are outstanding but it was an awesome stockpile week for Hefty Bags and for Caribou Coffee (especially if you have the $2/1 coupon). And, a special thanks to my Orlando friend who sent me a $2/1 Caribou coffee coupon to use this week I also was able to score numerous FREE Oral-B toothbrushes! Please note that I used four $2/1 coupons as well as two $1/1 Publix and two $1/1 manufacturer coupons. If you use the $2/1 coupons listed below, note that they limit, “four coupons per transaction”.

Liza — Sat, 22 Oct 2011 16:23:04 +0000

Sorry this is late everyone! I have received many emails from you all asking where my weekly Photo Show and Tell is! I actually did my shopping yesterday (Friday) but when I started working on this post, a family emergency took me from my computer. But I am back this morning and getting this post up although I didn’t find this week’s sales to be that spectacular. I did get four big bags of candy which when I add it to the two bags I bought last week, I’m thinking I am probably almost ready for trick-or-treaters. Our street typically gets slammed with trick-or-treaters so I have to get a ton of candy to keep up with the kiddos! (And, having a little left over isn’t necessarily a bad thing is it? ;)) I did take advantage of the amazing Digiorno Cheese deal. I was able to get six containers of Parmesan cheese for $1.20. That was an amazing deal. The other deals I took advantage of were just so/so. I had a $5/$30 Winn Dixie and a $5/$30 Publix coupon so I wanted to make sure I bought $60.00 worth of items (before using coupons) to take advantage of both coupons.

How did you do this week shopping? I hope you were able to spend less and save more than I did! Please leave a comment letting everyone know how you did!

Well, as you all know, this week’s Publix ad is a bit sparse with deals. I am really disappointed by it. I probably would have skipped shopping entirely but I know many of you are used to reading my Photo Show and Tells so I forced myself to go. And then I spent more than I would have wanted to on what seemed like not many groceries. I did buy some necessities such as eggs, milk and bread. And I thought I was taking advantage of the Flatout Wraps deal (we love Flatout Wraps) UNTIL I realized that I totally bought the wrong kind! Please do not make the same mistake I did. If you look at my wraps in the picture above, note that that kind IS NOT on sale. UGH. Such a bummer. No wonder I spent a little more out of pocket than I expected.

Photo Show and Tell – Publix 10/7/11

Liza — Fri, 07 Oct 2011 22:10:46 +0000

I had a great day at Publix today! I shopped at a different Publix today so I was a bit uneasy as to how they are accepting coupons. But, they were great. I had a couple of questions couponwise and they answered all of them. The Publix I shopped at today accepts Target and Winn Dixie coupons so I was able to maximize a lot of the coupons and sales by using both a manufacturer coupon along with either a Publix store or a Target store coupon. As a reminder, you should always find out what stores your Publix accepts as competitors. I had a great day though! Was able to get a bit of produce (we are going to be away for a couple of days traveling for my upcoming Addicted to Saving 101 class so I didn’t need much/anything for this weekend) and I started stocking up on canned vegetables and condensed soup. *Tip* think ahead to the upcoming holidays. If you make casseroles over the holidays, buy the ingredients when they are on sale and you have a coupon to match with it. That way you don’t have to pay full price!

I have two disclaimers to make (what else is new? ;)). First of all, I bought four Air Wick Ribbon Scents Candle. I wasn’t sure if this type of candle is covered under the Publix store coupon so I asked customer service and they allowed it. That said, your store may treat this differently so ask before purchasing. And secondly, I bought four Covergirl Blush and used two $8/2 Covergirl Face Products coupon. Some stores may give you a problem on this. However, if you go to Covergirl’s website, you will see that under their Face Products category, blush is included. I am telling you this so that if your store gives you a hard time, you can kindly (yes, kindly) tell them (or print out and show them) that blush is included under Face Products on their website.

Please leave a comment and let me know how you did this week! Would love to hear if you did better than I did!

If you are thinking that I bought a lot today at Publix, you are 100% correct! I had quite the haul today! I wasn’t planning on buying quite this much – or should I say that as I printed my grocery list, I wasn’t picturing quite as much stuff as I ended up with! I got a ton of food. And, I spent a bit more than I probably would have liked. But, I had the $10.00 gift card I received a couple weeks ago so I knew that would help a little. And, we are going to have four house guests staying with us for a few weeks this month and I am desperately trying to make sure I have lots of food for them. I’ve told them that I expect them to eat all of my food and clean out my stockpile for me. We’ll see if that happens!

A few notes regarding my purchases.. First, the Eight O Clock coffee is a great deal – I would have bought even more (remember we go through coffee like it is water) but their coupons were not printing out for me. I received an email from them yesterday that they are having problems with their coupons so once their site is up and running again, I will buy even more. The second note for you is that you may be able to tell I bought 6 jars of Ragu Pizza Sauce. I may go back for more. There are no coupons for the sauce but as I told you in this week’s Publix weekly ad, it is on sale BOGO. It is very seldom on sale BOGO so I stocked up – especially since the expiration date is 2013. AND – thanks to many of you – I had my mom pick me up a box of Sam’s Club pizza dough!! Oh my gosh – what an amazing deal! So, I have plenty of dough just asking to be made! Lastly, my third note for you is that I bought 6 boxes of Chicken Hamburger Helper (or whatever the chicken mixes are called). I’m not sure if I will even like it, but as I said above, I will have a housefull soon. AND, I have at least 80 pounds of chicken that needs to be cooked. So, I figure that in a pinch, I’ll try the Chicken Helper. Have you guys tried it? Do you like it? I think that is it for my side notes! Feel free to leave a comment with any questions you might have!

Please leave a comment and let me know how you did this week! Would love to hear if you did better than I did!

Photo Show and Tell – Publix 9/2/11

Liza — Fri, 02 Sep 2011 18:43:44 +0000

Well, you can see from my picture above that I had an overflowing grocery cart today during my Publix shopping trip. Since we spent less than $3.00 on $67.00 worth of groceries last week (go HERE to see last week’s Photo Show and Tell), I gave myself a little leeway to spend a bit more than I normally like. And, when I saw this huge rack of Spareribs priced at $1.99/lb, I had to get them – even though I knew that would increase my out of pocket spending. But, I have an amazing barbecue spare ribs crock pot recipe that I haven’t made in ages so I forsee a crock pot meal occurring early next week in my household. (A huge plea goes out to my husband, who I know is reading this, to cut the ribs for me :))

I also stumbled upon bags of California Sun Dried Tomatoes on sale for $1.00 each! This is a great price – even without a coupon! Oh – and I did encounter a small problem using the Free Oikos Greek Yogurt coupons from Parade Magazine. The coupons state Free Dannon Oikos Yogurt but my Publix had Stonyfield Oikos Yogurt. And while the Stonyfield Oikos yogurt looks 100% like the pictured “free coupon” and while the fine print mentions both Dannon and Stonyfield, I wasn’t able to use the coupon. This wasn’t a big deal to me but I wanted to give all of you a head’s up on this. (The coupon expires 9/4/11.)

Leave a comment and let me know how you did this week at Publix! Did you find any great deals??

Liza — Fri, 26 Aug 2011 21:01:35 +0000

Well, like I think I said last week, another week has come and gone! Time is flying! Today’s Publix trip consisted mainly of a few necessities (grapes and squash – these grapes are priced nicely and have been SO good). Today’s trip also consisted of using some of the free coupons I have received in the mail the past couple of months. Many of my free value coupons expire this 8/31 so if you have any coupons in your stash at home go through to make sure you don’t let them expire!

I had sent my husband to Publix earlier this week for more salmon, so right now we have tons of chicken and salmon frozen away. I’m still waiting on a good deal on ground beef.. Although, to be totally upfront, with the ground beef recall recently, I will probably refrain from purchasing any for the next couple of weeks. To give you a head’s up, I realize that today’s shopping trip isn’t the most nutritious. My stockpile is full of really everything that I could need. So, today I created a grocery list around the great freebies available and also around the soon to be expiring coupons that I have.

I can’t believe it is Friday again! These weeks are absolutely flying by! Life has been busy in our household – we have had lots of paperwork and projects that we have been working on. Throw in another television taping two days ago as well as maintaining this website and life is a whirlwind. (A good whirlwind..but a tiring one!) I have been encouraged by Publix’s sales lately. I think they are getting better. I did awesome today at Publix. And a huge thanks to Melissa for surprising me with the awesome FREE $10.00 Publix gift card when you spend $50.00+ at Publix coupon. (She received this coupon in the mail and she knows I never receive them :)) I was able to use that coupon today and if I factor the free $10 gift card I received, I ended up spending just $12.57 on everything pictured above.

And to update you on Zaycon Foods, they emailed me and said they were in the midst of planning on coming down to our area in October hopefully. So, if you haven’t gotten on their email waiting list, make sure you do it. The more interest they see in our areas, the quicker they will come down and sell us awesome deals on chicken breasts, ground beef and more. If you are unaware of Zaycon Foods, go HERE to read how to score awesome deals on boneless, skinless chicken breasts.

The items I purchased today coincide with this week’s Publix Weekly ad. To see this week’s ad & coupon matchups, go HERE.

My husband was out running errands and I sent him to Publix with a short grocery list. He did amazing. I really wanted to stock up on some salmon so we bought 3 pounds and I will cook some tonight and then freeze at least 2 pounds of it. There are not a ton of items on my kitchen table, but the only item we had to pay for was the salmon and after coupons and Sundown Vitamins overage, we ended up spending only $5.51/lb on the salmon! Not too shabby!

Today’s Publix shopping trip was a fun one! I’ve had a jam packed week so walking through Publix and spending a little time away from my computer was refreshing. (I must say that sometimes it is so nice to be able to take advantage of the deals I post ;)) I replenished my dwindling pasta sauce stockpile and I was able to score what seemed like tons of awesome deals! I did take advantage of the $10.00 off $50.00 Gas Gift Card deal. This is a great deal if you can afford to spend $40.00 on a gas card! I didn’t add the gift card into my amount spent (shown below) because the gas card goes under our gas budget. I also want to make a note that I used 10 of the $0.75/1 Bertolli Sauce Target store coupons (found in the 8/7/11 Target Insert – I ordered the inserts online since my papers didn’t include them). I normally only use one Target coupon in one transaction but these coupons did not limit one coupon per transaction. Despite this, not all stores will allow you to use multiples of the same coupon so ask your customer service first to make sure you can do it.

I’m still set on chicken. I have at least 30 lbs of boneless, skinless, chicken breast stockpile courtesy of Zaycon Foods, go HERE to read how to score awesome deals on boneless, skinless chicken breasts. I do need, however, lean ground beef so I will have to find a good deal soon.

The items I purchased today coincide with this week’s Publix Weekly ad. To see this week’s ad & coupon matchups, go HERE.

I so badly want to tell you I saved a ton of money yesterday (Thursday) at Publix. But really, the savings were sparse. In fact, I think I saved the lowest amount. I had two gift cards to use so I actually spent $0.00 out of pocket, but my savings were a bit disappointing nonetheless. I was in need of a few necessities and then wanted to stock up on peanut butter. So many of you have been emailing me about your disappointment on not just Publix’s sales but other stores as well. My advice is to hang in there. Publix has definitely given us a few weeks of less than stellar sales. I’ve been fortunate because I have food and toiletries stockpiled away to carry me through this time. If you are new to couponing, do not get discouraged. Do you best to stock up on the great deals that are available (like the Skippy deal) and then buy the necessities that you need. Tomorrow is a new day and let’s hope that next week’s sale(s) are better!

If you missed my post last week about my HUGE 40 lb boneless, skinless, chicken breast stockpile courtesy of Zaycon Foods, go HERE to read how to score awesome deals on boneless, skinless chicken breasts.

I hope you all have had a great week! My week was busy with a capital “B” but great nonetheless! A huge thanks to everyone who came to last night’s Addicted to Saving 101 class! What an awesome turnout! And, a special thanks to the lady who made her family celebrate her birthday last Sunday, even though her actual birthday was yesterday. She said her family thought she was crazy to choose to go to a “couponing class” on her birthday. She ended up winning one of the prizes I gave away so I’m hoping the prize made up for the missed time with her family!

Today was yet another great day at Publix. If you think that I didn’t buy a lot, you are totally correct. Because of my HUGE frozen chicken stockpile courtesy of Zaycon Foods, (go HERE to read how to score awesome deals on boneless, skinless chicken breasts), I needed only some fresh produce. I focused on some of the stockpile priced deals and also used some of the “free value” coupons I have that are expiring 7/31/11. Hopefully you saved the $2.00/3 Kellogg’s Pop-Tarts coupons I posted about earlier this month because now is the time to use them! As you will see below, I scored an awesome deal on the 6 boxes of Pop-Tarts pictured above!

Please leave a comment on this post with all of the deals (Publix and other stores) you have snagged this week! Brag away – we all love to read about it!

Has it been a long week for anyone besides myself? I tell you what – I am so happy that today is Friday and that the weekend is here! Today has been a challenge for me. I’m not going to lie – I work a lot on this website. A lot. But I love doing this and I love interacting with all of you so it is worth it. But some days just drain me! Yesterday and today were two of those days. It seemed like every deal I posted – even with research – was gone within just a couple minutes. Or the deal didn’t work. Or the deal wasn’t what it seemed it would be. Or there are coding issues on my website which cause me to spend 45 minutes trying to figure out what exactly is going on.. While I know you all appreciate my posting deals every day and I am so thankful for that, I always put a lot of pressure on myself to make sure every thing I do on Addicted to Saving is perfect. And I’m so not perfect. (Emphasis on the word so) And so, with a long week beginning to wind down, today I knew that I had to go to Publix. And, as some of you might agree, I don’t think this week’s sales are anything to brag about at Publix. So, I contemplated just skipping this week. (We really needed only milk & eggs..) But, my husband came to the rescue saying that I needed to post my weekly Photo Show and Tell for all of you and he went armed with coupons and my printable grocery list prepared to do battle (while I stayed home and used the elliptical ;)).

It really is a slow week at Publix. If you have a full stockpile, I wanted to tell you that it is okay if you take this week off at Publix. Do not feel like you have to go shopping just because it is a new week with new sales. Sometimes, the best thing to do is to take a break (or send your hubby as I did)!

I really hope you guys are all having a great week! Please leave a comment on this post with all of the deals (Publix and other stores) you have snagged this week! Brag away – we all love to read about it!

This was an awesome week to shop at Publix. We live on coffee (I’m drinking a cup right now) and so I bought 8 bags of Eight O Clock coffee. (I may go back for more – yes we drink THAT much coffee) And, we LOVE Feta Cheese so I was able to stock up on 8 containers of President Feta. (This type of cheese freezes really well.) I am actually using a new computer we just got and can you believe I still haven’t figured out how to hook it up to our printer? So, my goal is to figure it out before the sale is over so I can print out two more $3/2 feta cheese coupons. The feta and coffee are at rock bottom prices but are still a bit “pricey”, so I went into Publix today knowing I would be spending more than usual. It was a great day to snag a few freebies – Zantac, Papermate Pens, scissors and Kellogg’s Mini Wheats Touch of Fruit. I was also able to share two of my $1.00/1 Kellogg’s Mini Wheats Touch of Fruit coupons with a customer who was standing in the cereal aisle. She was going to get a different type of mini wheats but when I showed her she could get two boxes for $0.99 each with my coupons, she immediately put her boxes away. Love it! I also have to give a huge thank you to Melissa R for sending me the awesome Publix coupon where you get a $10.00 Publix gift card when you spend $50.0. Thank you so much for sharing it with me – I put it to good use today!

Photo Show and Tell – Publix 7/8/11

Liza — Fri, 08 Jul 2011 23:12:17 +0000

My weekly grocery trip occurred at 5 pm today (Friday). It has been SO rainy that with the gloomy weather plus my struggle to get back to reality after a short trip to Colorado, I just didn’t want to leave the dryness of my house! But I did finally go and was able to take advantage of one my favorite deals – BOGO Emerald Peanuts when I have $1/1 coupons! I can’t say that you will find my totals or purchases overly impressive. Today was truly a stockpile day with my nuts, pasta and tuna purchases. I added a few other deals – free Johnson & Johnson first aid kits and cheap Caribou coffee.. But really, it was a boring shopping day!

The items I purchased today coincide with this week’s Publix Weekly ad. To see this week’s ad & coupon matchups, go HERE.

Photo Show and Tell – Publix 6/30/11

Liza — Thu, 30 Jun 2011 21:56:51 +0000

I had a great day at Publix today! (Really – when do I not? I love Publix!) I had quite a few free coupons that expired after today so I went today instead of tomorrow/Friday. I came across a few great peelies that scored me great deals. And I was able to really maximize my Target store coupons. Remember that not all Publix locations accept Target coupons so make sure you find out before you start shopping. I think I had a coupon for everything except the eggs, Bush’s Baked Beans and Eagle Condensed Milk. My poor cashier! She was awesome though and she knows all about my website and she coupons but yet never visits meon Addicted to Saving! So, I’m hoping she will join in on the madness along with all of us! Oh – and if you are noticing a lack of produce, I received my delivery from the Organic Produce Groupon deal I posted about HERE. So, with the delivery and the peppers from my garden plus the fact that my hubby and I will be away for a few days, I really didn’t need any produce at all.

**I also did the awesome $10.00 off $50.00 Gas Card deal. I didn’t include that in my total below since that will fall under my gas budget, not grocery budget.

The items I purchased today coincide with this week’s Publix Weekly ad. To see this week’s ad & coupon matchups, go HERE.

Photo Show and Tell – Publix 6/23/11

Liza — Thu, 23 Jun 2011 18:31:57 +0000

I did my Publix shopping trip early this week. Tomorrow I have an appointment during the time that I normally shop, so this week I got an early start on the new Publix sales. I have to admit that I came out of pocket a bit more than I would have desired. ($29.62) When I add that to the $52.00 I’ve already spent this month on groceries, that is a bit more than I normally spend in any given month. But I splurged a little as some of the sales weren’t quite “stock pile” prices. I am finding that when I first started couponing, I really made a game out of my shopping trips. I would literally see how close to $0.00 I could spend out of pocket. But now that I’ve been doing this for years, I’m starting to “relax” a bit and have a bit more fun. (Although, every now and then I make my shopping trips a game so don’t worry, you will see more of my crazy savings trips in the future ;)) I’m also trying hard to keep fresh produce in the house. I may actually have to go back for more soda. My husband and I don’t drink soda, but we are having a house full Saturday and I am thinking the three bottles I bought won’t cut it. If you do buy 2 liters of coke products, be on the lookout for hangtags. Coke 2 liters are on sale B2G1. The hangtag is Buy 2 Coke 2L, Get 1 Coke Zero 2L free. So, with the sale, you get three bottles for the price of one. Also – I scored an awesome deal on Olay Regenerist – with my coupons they came to $0.50 each!

I had a quick Publix trip this week. I was in desperate need of milk so my priorities were the milk, eggs, broccoli and apples. Everything else I bought because of the awesome coupons I had. I really wanted to get the Magnum Ice Cream bars because I have the $1.00/1 Target coupon but my RP insert didn’t have the manufacturer’s coupon to go with it – instead my insert just had a one page ad for Magnum. Not cool. I did forget to bring my $2.00/1 fresh produce Publix coupons so while I could have spent less money this week, I will save the money next week as I use the coupons then. I was a bit a lot disappointed to see that the shelves were wiped clean of a lot of the deals I wanted to do. But I have to remember that that is what I get for going grocery shopping after 5 pm on a Friday! **Oh and a funny side note – the lady in line behind me watched me use all of my coupons and proceeded to tell me that she doesn’t use coupons because she only buy organic food at Whole Foods. I look at her grocery cart and in it is 6 cartons of Breyer’s Ice Cream, 4 boxes of Duncan Hines cake mix and then some random odds and ends. Not quite organic is it?

Happy Friday! I hope you all have had a great week! This was a busy and yet very productive week for me and I barely eeked in a Publix grocery trip before Publix closed tonight! I wasn’t overly impressed with this week’s sales so I didn’t buy too much. But, I did splurge on Tilapia and I’m super excited to make it! I was also shocked to see that my store had Tylenol Precise in stock so I was happy to get two boxes for free! I also managed to get the Sargento cheese for $0.50 each! Here is how: I used two $1.00/1 Sargento Publix Store coupons (there is no limits on the coupon stating one per transaction) and I used one $1.00 off ANY brand 1 lb shredded, cubed or brick cheese manufacturer coupon. This is a manufacturer coupon that states valid in Florida. Since two Sargento 8 oz bags equal one pound, I was able to use one coupon per two bags of cheese. (I was also allowed to use this on the Cheddar Cheese even though it was an ounce short.) I asked customer service if I could do this transaction prior to doing it. I recommend you do the same.

Photo Show and Tell – Publix and Winn Dixie 6/3/11

Liza — Fri, 03 Jun 2011 19:03:38 +0000

Today is the day for fresh produce! Between my shopping trip at Publix and my shopping trip at Winn Dixie, (where I just bought fresh produce using a gift card I received from transfering a ) I stocked up on a TON of fresh produce. My nutritionist would be so proud of me. Fortunately, my husband and I love salad and veggies so we will be eating lots of meals on a bed of lettuce the next few days! I found an AWESOME deal on the Oscar Mayer Low Sodium Turkey Bacon at Publix. I had a $1/1 Target coupon and a $0.75/1 manufacturer coupon so with both coupons I got the bacon for $1.64 (it was regularly priced at $3.39 at my Publix). Also – if you have any $1.00/1 any Kame product coupons, you can score a can of Kame Water Chestnuts for just $0.34! All of the coupon details are below.

**The Winn Dixie purchase is not pictured. You will have to use your imagination

The items I purchased today coincide with this week’s Publix Weekly ad. To see this week’s ad & coupon matchups, go HERE.

If you are new to saving money at Publix, read my Intro to Publix post!

**Disclaimer**
Not all Publix locations allow overage – mine does. If your Publix does not allow overage, they will usually adjust the value of the coupon down so that you receive the item for free. Also – my Publix allowed me to use two of the same Yellow Advantage Flyer coupons on one of my deals. Not all locations allow this – in fact, most do not.

Photo Show and Tell – Publix 5/27/11

Liza — Fri, 27 May 2011 22:06:32 +0000

I am doing things a bit differently this week! Instead of posting my regular Photo Show and Tell, I am highlighting some of the successes of you all! It has been a busy week and I wasn’t able to get to the store like I normally do. In fact, I’m sure many of you have weeks where you take time off from grocery shopping? That is me this week! (Don’t worry though – I do plan to use my $10/$40 Sweetbay coupon before it expires ;))

Lastly – Kara sent me two pictures that I couldn’t open of her grocery trip below But, along with the pictures, she sent me the awesome stats for what she purchased! The best thing about Kara’s purchase is that it included a little over 4 pounds of steak! Kara saved 63% on everything below and even though she said she usually saves more, I think she did awesome! There is absolutely nothing wrong with splurging on fun things like steak when you save so much money on other groceries!

Photo Show and Tell – Publix 5/20/11

Liza — Sat, 21 May 2011 01:07:17 +0000

As you can see from my picture, today’s Publix shopping trip wasn’t a huge trip! This has been a crazy week and it isn’t over yet. I try to work a certain number of hours each day and I can say that this week I definitely went well beyond the limits I set for myself! But, I’m so excited about the new printable grocery list – do you guys like it?? I’m also excited about the morning I had yesterday. Yesterday I went to ABC 10 Action News studio and they taped a piece that is scheduled to air this upcoming Wednesday! My hope is that I spoke at least somewhat intelligently!

During my trip today, I wanted some veggies but besides that, I didn’t stock up on much at all. I’m excited about the Blue Diamond Almonds and my husband will be excited about the Smart Balance spread. I only had two $1.00 off ANY Chinet coupons so I wasn’t able to stock up on the napkins like I wanted. I know many of you asked how to get that coupon – you have to sign up for a Chinet account. Then, Chinet emails you a coupon good for $1.00 off any Chinet product. The Covergirl Blush was a moneymaker as were the Sundown Vitamins. The overage from those items helped my out of pocket spending quite a bit! I ended up getting $8.62 worth of fresh veggies and spent a total of $7.80 on everything pictured. So, I was happy. And, I still had money left on my Publix gift card so I didn’t actually have to spend anything on today’s trip which made me even more happy!

Please leave a comment on this post and let me know what deals you have taken advantage of this week!

The items I purchased today coincide with this week’s Publix Weekly ad. To see this week’s ad & coupon matchups, go HERE.

Make Sure You Didn’t Miss Yesterday’s Photo Show and Tell

Liza — Fri, 06 May 2011 22:09:57 +0000

I wanted to make sure you all didn’t miss yesterday’s Photo Show and Tell. I know I usually post my Photo Show and Tells on Fridays so I wanted to post this to make sure you didn’t miss my early posting. Go HERE to read my Photo Show and Tell from yesterday (Thursday, May 5th).

On a side note, I will post pictures of my “garden” early next week. We didn’t end up getting my raised garden (that I affectionately call a sandbox garden) going last weekend. We have a very sick dog on our hands and my husband and I have literally been by his side 24 hours a day since he can’t be left unattended. All this to say, I’m really hoping to get my additional veggie garden going in the next week or so. Do you think that will be too late to plant more veggies?

Photo Show and Tell – Publix 5/5/11

Liza — Thu, 05 May 2011 21:23:30 +0000

I did my weekly Publix shopping trip a day early this week with great results! You can see from the picture that I managed to stock up on Tidy Cats kitty litter. Sadly, my cat doesn’t like this kind of litter but I will gladly donate it to my local vet. Speaking of which – for those of you that don’t have pets, if you are inclined please remember that shelters, animal hospitals, etc are always looking for supplies like litter, food, cleaning products, etc. You can also see that I stocked up on Eight O Clock coffee – that was the goal of my shopping trip today! I have a few more coupons to use so will go and get more coffee before the sale is over. (We go through coffee like it is nobody’s business!) I also scored a few freebies so if we ever have tummy “issues” in our household, we should be covered. I actually went to Publix yesterday to pick up a raincheck on the Bic Soleil razor deal and got some fresh produce. The past 4 weeks I have definitely come out of pocket more than normal.. But I do have a lot to show for it and I’m still happily under budget.

I also took advantage of the gas card deal but didn’t include it in my numbers below since the money I spent will go towards our gas budget. If you are unaware of the deal, in this week’s ad is a coupon for $10.00 off a $50.00 gas card when you spend $25.00 or more. This is an awesome deal as long as you have the $40.00 to cover the cost of the gas card.

Please leave a comment on this post and let me know what deals you have taken advantage of this week!

Photo Show and Tell – Publix 4/29/11

Liza — Fri, 29 Apr 2011 20:25:04 +0000

I had a marvelous day at Publix today! I’ve spent a bit more out of pocket than I would desire the past couple of weeks so I was happy to spend $7.99 today Today was especially fun because I went in with really three things that I needed (grapes, fresh corn and onions) and since I needed just a few things, I was able to really focus on the awesome freebies available! I was so pleased to see that my store was stocked on everything! Considering I shopped so late in their sales ad, Publix was beyond stocked on everything! And, I went through my printable and “free” coupons to make sure I used all of the coupons I have that expire 4/30.. (If you printed the $1/1 Mission coupon, the $2/1 Tribe Hummus coupon and if you have the FREE Bic Lighter coupon and you haven’t used them yet, use it now!) I also grabbed 4 Cadberry Eggs not knowing how much they were marked down so I was excited to see that they rang up for $0.37 each! I love those things!

I also talked to numerous customer service staff members and cashiers about the Publix coupon policy changes and I want to reinforce what I posted yesterday – everyone CALM down. I don’t forsee the changes to be anything we can’t handle. I promise. Stores will be cracking down on the competitor coupons that they accepts but right now, my Publix only accepts two stores (Sweet Bay and Winn Dixie) and I still save big bucks every week. So, for those of you who may not be able to use CVS, Walgreens, Target, etc in the future, don’t fret! I promise you will still save big. Okay? Also – once the official changes go through, I will post about it and we can game plan how we will save going forward.

Photo Show and Tell – Publix 4/15/11

Liza — Fri, 15 Apr 2011 18:18:59 +0000

If I had to sum up my Publix shopping trip today, it would be HELLO CHEESE! I’m armed and ready to make at least two lasagnas and at least one dish of stuffed shells. YUM. Publix has some great sales today and I was so excited to get mozzarella cheese, ricotta and to try out the new Kraft Mozzarella w/ Philly Shredded cheese. I spent a bit more than I desired and expected but I am pleased with 80.6% savings! I also giggled to myself as I put the two bottles of French’s mustard in my shopping cart because I was picturing myself not buying one bottle but 150 like the lady on Extreme Couponing. heehee. I also was able to do the Right Guard deodorant and body wash deal which made me extremely happy.

Photo Show and Tell – Publix 4/8/11

Liza — Fri, 08 Apr 2011 18:35:51 +0000

Publix has some great sales this week! Today I scored some great freebies but more importantly to me, I snagged a little of 8 lbs of chicken breasts, tons of zucchini (I will be experimenting trying to cook this awesome Greek zucchini dish called Boureki – I will make it every night until it comes out just right even if my husband and I start to turn green ;)) and of course the Cascadian Farm frozen veggie deal! I got 6 bags of Cascadian Farm frozen edamame. YUM. Also – I don’t know if you can tell in this picture but attached to two of the bags of Almond Accents are $1.00 off Bagged Salad wyb 2 bags of Almond Accents coupons. Yup. Still attached. That means the salad that I bought I ended up paying full price for. My cashier didn’t pull the coupons off the bags and I forgot to pull them off as well. I know I could go back to get $2.00 taken off but I just don’t have the time for it.. Oh well.. If you take advantage of the Almond Accents deal, make sure you check out all of the bags because at my Publix, a ton of the bags had the great $1.00 off salad coupon.

Since I have been away for a few weeks, I needed to restock my refrigerater with produce and some necessities like eggs and margarine. I also missed out on some of the great coupon booklets that Kelly posted about while I was gone so that was disappointing, but I’m still really pleased! I also have a friend who gave me a ton of awesome Winn Dixie coupons so that helped my out of pocket spending on the pork, ground beef and the melon. My total spent out of pocket today definitely wouldn’t get me on Extreme Couponing this week, but as we’ve already discussed earlier this week, Extreme Couponing isn’t very realistic is it? And, sometimes I do have savings of 90% or more.. Today, however, with all of the produce and meat, I am thrilled that I saved 72.5%! And, my freezer is now restocked with chicken and it already has more meat than I could imagine!

The items I purchased today coincide with this week’s Publix Weekly ad. To see this week’s ad & coupon matchups, go HERE.

Photo Show and Tell – Reader Success Stories

Liza — Fri, 04 Mar 2011 23:24:28 +0000

So – the end of the week is here and I haven’t gone shopping. I think last year, out of the entire year, I skipped out on two week’s worth of shopping and one of those two weeks my husband shopped for me. Well, this week has been one of those long weeks where I’ve been fighting the flu and then at the same time juggling what seems like 100 balls. My husband was going to go shopping tonight for me but I told him we would take the week off. We more than indulged in the Italian Days sales the past two weeks and my stockpile is overflowing so we need literally nothing. Top that off with a shipment of meat I received on my doorstep today from Kansas City Steaks (used Groupons) so I have enough beef, ham and chicken stockpiled away to last a good 3 months. I have what I thought was the largest freezer ever and it is stocked so I’m okay taking the week off! And, truthfully, there are not a lot of sales this week at Publix that are exciting to me. Are there any sales you are looking forward to? Any deals that you think are noteworthy? Would love to hear!

And – if you recall, I asked all of you to email me your photo show and tells! Below are the highlights of the photos you all sent! I can tell you all are doing an awesome job saving money and that many of you have learned the concept of stockpiling. Great job everyone and thanks for the photos!

**Also – make sure you click the link at the bottom of this post that says “Read the Rest of This Entry” so that you don’t miss out on any of the deals below!

The photo above shows $207.00 worth of groceries that was purchased for $39.50!! I’m seeing fresh meat, produce, bread, milk and even kleenex. Awesome!

Everything in the photo above was purchased for $10.38! Gotta Love Publix Italian Days! (Am I the only one missing this sale already?)

The picture above includes $193 worth of groceries that were purchased for $20.38! Lots of crackers, canned foods, soda and some fresh produce and juice! Love it!

Everything in the picture above cost $6.15 after coupons and sales!! Aren’t the Kleenex containers so cute?

The picture above is Part One last week’s Publix trip for one reader… Below is Part Two with the amount spent..

The picture above is Part Two for one of my favorite readers (I also saw her while doing my weekly grocery trip so I have a special place in my heart for her ;)). She bought everything in Part One and Part Two AND 8 bags of Doritos for $20.84!! She spent $20.84 on $245.00 worth of groceries including meat, produce, cleaning supplies, and so much more. Great job!

Everything in the picture above cost $27.33 after coupons and sales – this is on over $67.00 worth of groceries! And not pictured are bottles of Zephyrhills water! Those Mission tortillas are calling my name right now as I have a craving for Mexican Food!

Look at all the sauce!! Okay – so this picture is from an extremely coupon savy reader of mine. Or should I say readers! They are a great couple who share the shopping responsibilities and they save big bucks together. Everything in the picture above is valued at $197.00.. Guess what they spent?? Just $2.26!! Awesome job!

Last but not least, the picture above shows $169.00 worth of groceries. How much was spent? A mere $3.35!! And that includes tons of cheese and soda. Great job!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Also –Attention Bloggers -at the bottom of this post is a place for you to link up your deals! So, make sure you leave a link to your shopping trip successes this week. I am looking for your personal deals not a list of store sales/coupon matchups! And, make sure this is a direct link to your deals post – I will remove links that go directly to your home page. If you don’t have a blog, feel free to leave a comment on this post letting us know how you did shopping this week!

Photo Show and Tell – Target Frozen Food Galore

Liza — Wed, 23 Feb 2011 21:23:50 +0000

I hurt myself yesterday and I’ve been spending a lot of time in bed. I was going to go to Target last night but that wasn’t an option. So, today when I gathered up the gumption, I went to Target and oh my word, I had a blast! I was shocked that my Target was so stocked with Weight Watchers Smart Ones Dinners and Desserts! It is almost as if none of you are taking advantage of their awesome frozen food deal that they have going on right now! If you live in Florida, print your Weight Watchers coupons and RUN to Target.

I do have to give you a HUGE disclaimer – this deal is regional. Some areas do not have this deal available. Check your local ad and see if it lists the deal “Buy any 7 Frozen Foods, Get a $5.00 Target Gift Card.” If you see this deal in your ad, you need to go to Target. Every single frozen food at Target applies towards this deal – as long as you purchase seven frozen food items that equal $5.00 or more.

To see this week’s Target Weekly Ad & Coupon Matchups, go HERE

I will give you a rundown on what I did. I made four transactions. Each transaction I purchased 14 frozen foods. So, after each transaction, I received two $5.00 Target gift cards to use on my next transaction. I could have bought everything in one transaction but I would have had to come out of pocket $30.00 more than I did.

I bought a total of 42 boxes of Weight Watchers Smart Ones Dinners and/or Desserts (priced at $1.80 each), 12 bags of Birds Eye Steamfresh Veggies (priced at $1.02 each) and 2 California Pizza Kitchen Single Serve Pizzas (priced at $2.54 each)

Photo Show and Tell – Publix 2/18/11

Liza — Fri, 18 Feb 2011 17:22:54 +0000

So, I’m loving Publix Italian Days! What about you guys? I know so many of you asked me to go shopping yesterday because you wanted to see my Photo Show and Tell yesterday and while I didn’t shop yesterday, I did shop first thing this morning. I started off my shopping trip asking customer service how they would accept the Publix Italian Days coupons. I highly recommend you do the same thing. DO NOT go by my shopping trip and coupon usage since every Publix has a different policy. I actually think my store is too lenient with the coupons and I told my manager that. But, I also told him I would take advantage of the leniency. I did have a great trip today. As you can see, I really took advantage of the Progresso Canned Beans! They are a staple in my house. I make black bean soup, white chicken chili, regular chili, plain black beans, black beans on salads, and many more recipes with beans. I may even type up an awesome recipe for black bean soup for you all – it goes perfectly with this week’s sales. I bought a lot of Green Giant veggies and most of them are for my favorite 18 month old friend. She likes corn and green beans so she is getting most of my canned veggies. I will keep a few cans of corn to use in Shepard’s Pie. YUM. I also took advantage of the awesome Sargento Cheese deal! I wasn’t able to score the cheese for free since my inserts didn’t have the $1.00/2 manufacturer coupon, but I was able to score them for $0.25 each which is perfectly fine by me! Oh – and the last deal I have to point out is the California Sun Dried Tomatoes and Pesto. It is hard to tell in the picture but I bought four jars of them. They are pricey and there are no coupons for them, but they are on sale BOGO which they never are. So, if that is something you would use, even without a coupon I am telling you it is okay to buy a few jars of them.

The items I purchased today coincide with this week’s Publix Weekly ad. To see this week’s ad & coupon matchups, go HERE.

If you are new to saving money at Publix, read my Intro to Publix post!

**Disclaimer**
1) My Publix allows us to use more than one of the samePublix store coupon and/or competitor coupon. Not all Publix locations allow this. You should ask customer service if they allow this before loading up your cart.
2) Not all Publix locations allow overage. If your Publix does not allow overage, they will usually adjust the value of the coupon down so that you receive the item for free.

Here’s What I Bought:

Minus two $0.50/2 Sargento Shredded Cheese Products 1/30/2011 SS Insert (exp 3/5/2011)

Photo Show and Tell – Publix 2/11/11

Liza — Fri, 11 Feb 2011 22:19:56 +0000

Okay so today’s grocery shopping was a HUGE success because of an email I received from JB. JB emailed me to let me know that there are $1.00/1 Emerald Nuts coupons that would go with this week’s sale (my matchups showed $1.50/2). So, I was able to score great deals on the Emerald Nuts which made me really happy! And, my favorite purchase was the Steamfresh and Bird’s Eye vegetables. We eat a lot of vegetables in this house and one of the ways I try to save money on produce is to buy frozen veggies (hence my purchasing 9 bags today ;)). So, for all of you out there that eat healthy and email me telling me there are never good deals on healthy foods, this is perhaps a good deal for you! If you purchase the Steamfresh or Bird’s Eye veggies without (key word is without) sauce then you are buying frozen veggies with only one ingredient – the veggies! There are no preservatives, no fattening sauces, nothing besides veggies (check out the list of ingredients and you will see this).

And – for all of you who read last week’s Photo Show and Tell, I did end up getting a phone call from my store’s head manager and he and I had an awesome conversation. Publix works really hard to provide excellent customer service and I saw this as I spent a good 20 minutes talking to him. It seems he and I are on the same page, so I was extremely pleased. And, supposedly Publix is in the works to put together some sort of written coupon policy which in my opinion would be awesome. If all of the stores could be on the same page and have the same policies there would be so much less confusion over the “gray” couponing areas. And, as you all have probably realized, Publix is starting to tighten their couponing policies – not because they want to be strict but because of the people that abuse the policies. I have heard some horrible examples of people photocopying coupons, using fake coupons, returning items they paid next to nothing on to get the cash, etc etc. It is the “bad seeds” out there that ruin it for all of us. SO – remember that Publix has awesome sales. They give us awesome store coupons. There is no reason that we should take advantage of them. And – as a side note, if any of you have any questions as to what is allowed versus what is fraudulent, please do not hesitate to email me at addictedtosaving at hotmail dot com.

The items I purchased today coincide with this week’s Publix Weekly ad. To see this week’s ad & coupon matchups, go HERE.

Photo Show and Tell – Publix 2/4/11

Liza — Fri, 04 Feb 2011 22:47:15 +0000

So this has been a busy week for me! Getting out of the house today and doing my weekly Publix shopping trip was a nice break from working on the website. I did actually have a coupon issue today at my Publix. To the point where I talked to the manager who said that while they would put the coupons through, they shouldn’t… The crazy thing is that I have done this type of transaction multiple times. When I was leaving Publix today I talked to one of the customer service staff that I always talk to and she said it was a “gray area” of couponing.. Of course I know all about gray areas – especially since Publix doesn’t have a written coupon policy.. All of you email me about “gray” areas of Publix policies on a daily, sometimes hourly basis. But, I always want to err on the side of caution. I don’t want to break rules or even remotely get close to breaking the rules. So I am not going to include the specific coupons (yes there were two gray area issues) in question in this scenarios below. I have put a call into corporate because I want to see what they say about it. Corporate has already called me back and I am now waiting to hear from the District Manager. I know that other reputable websites (emphasis on reputable) say that this specific type of transaction is acceptable. So, either my store is “stricter” than others or my store is misinformed. Either way, I am starting to reevaluate how I run Addicted to Saving. Because here is the thing, my Publix allows certain things that other Publix locations do not allow. And vice versa. And, I don’t want any of you to think that because I am able to do certain things at my Publix it should be allowed everywhere…. SO – all this to say – going forward, I will continue to post my Photo Show and Tell and tell you what I spent and saved and what coupons I used. But, for the matchups, I am going to be a bit less specific for the “gray area” deals. I don’t want you to confuse a specific deal with being 100% acceptable when in actuality it is only acceptable at certain stores with certain managers.. Does that make sense? Did I lose all of you?

Back to my deals though.. I was so excited to score Athenos Greek Yogurt for $0.20 each and Polly-O Mozzarella for $0.69. AND – I did awesome on the U by Kotex and Kleenex! The best part is I purchased $35.00 worth of Kimberly-Clark or Mead Johnson products per the Start Your Year Out with Big Savings booklet so I will get a $10.00 Publix Gift Card in the mail! (After I send in the Publix Gift Card rebate form).

Is anyone else as excited as I about the Eight O’ Clock Coffee sale? We go through coffee like it is water in this house. So, I bought 8 bags today and may even go back to get more! I also have an awesome friend who gave me some great Winn Dixie coupons so I was able to get some great deals on the meat I think I was a bit surprised by how much I spent but I have to remind me that the meat wasn’t free and I bought a lot of coffee! I made two different shopping trips today and I’ve combined everything into one transaction below. I made two different trips because I had one $5 off $30 Winn Dixie coupon and one $10 off $50 Winn Dixie coupon and I wanted to use both.

I had a crazy busy day today. There are lots of fun things in store for Addicted to Saving and I can’t wait to fill you in on the new changes and fun surprises I have in store for you. But in the meantime, I will leave you in suspense and tell you that today was crazy. That said, I was able to make a quick trip into Publix and take advantage of a few of their sales. Did any of you take advantage of the Amy’s Fresh Delivery Groupon deal I posted about last week? I bought it and this Wednesday had fresh produce delivered to my doorstep. Would love to hear your thoughts if you ordered this deal too. Anyways, with all of the produce and all of my frozen meat stockpiled away I bought a few deals and had a productive shopping trip today. I also stopped on my way home from Publix and picked up a Toffee-Mocha at Starbucks using a gift card I received from Swag Bucks which despite having 1,500 calories was heavenly. I did forget to buy eggs which I am totally out of. Guess that means I will have to go back tomorrow. Also – random side note – I have had a really hard time finding any coupon booklets lately. Have you all had this same problem?

The items I purchased today coincide with this week’s Publix Weekly ad. To see this week’s ad & coupon matchups, go HERE.

My cat is going to be SO happy with me. The one type of cat food she eats (the ONLY type of cat food she eats) is Purina Indoor Cat Food. So, I was very excited about the bags of cat food being on sale BOGO! I was also excited that I saved the $1.50/1 Smucker’s Jelly Coupons I posted about back on September 15th HERE. I saved the coupon hoping there would be a good sale and my persistance paid off. With my four $1.50/1 Smuckers coupons I was able to score Smuckers Jam for $0.09 each. Marvelous. The only major grocery item I needed today was cat food and Band-Aids. Everything else I bought because they were excellent deals. Oh – and to prove that I do in fact purchase produce, I took a picture of my grocery trip to Winn Dixie this morning. With a $25.00 gift card I received over the fall from transferring a ______, I was able to score all of the produce below FREE. Although – I should admit that I left my bag of grapes at Winn Dixie. So, yes, I will be going back there to pick up the forgotten bag UGH.

The items I purchased today coincide with this week’s Publix Weekly ad. To see this week’s ad & coupon matchups, go HERE.

I think I can safely say that I had my last Publix shopping trip for the year 2010. And, to commemorate this occasion, I brought A TON of coupons that I had that were expiring. If you have any FREEBIE coupons in your stash, check the expiration dates because I had a large pile expiring on 12/31. I had a great shopping trip though. I did nothing other than use my expiring coupons and stock up on Fridays appetizers. We will be away from the house for a while so I didn’t need any veggies. Also – a HUGE thanks to Katrina for posting the awesome FREE Clorox wipes deal. Those are the kind of deals that literally make my day.

I had a marvelous time at Publix today. My grocery cart was literally overflowing – so much so that I had groceries on top of my purse which is something I never do. The best thing about all of the groceries is that I am giving a ton of them away so that makes me feel even more productive! I shopped at the Publix near me that accepts Target coupons so that I could maximize all of the Target coupons I have stashed away. I did spend a bit more out of pocket than I probably would have desired but I did get fresh veggies and a ton of Birds Eye frozen veggies. We eat a lot of veggies in this house and if we eat frozen veggies, my favorite are Birds Eye Steamfresh veggies (with NO sauce). Pop the bag in the microwave and voila – a healthy side dish. I “splurged” on Oscar Mayer Bacon. I had a manufacturer and a Target coupon burning a hole in my pocket so I couldn’t resist. Besides, that I stocked up on crackers, oatmeal, peanuts, Ore-Ida Hash Browns and I even got six bottles of soda which we barely drink – yes the soda and Hash Browns will definitely be shared!

Well – today I did my weekly Publix run. I know some of you are probably disappointed that I didn’t purchase more items this week! I just didn’t love this week’s deals. I did, however, LOVE the chicken deal and the green beans, zucchini and yellow squash deal. So, I stocked up – emphasis on the word “stocked” – on boneless, skinless chicken breasts and I bought about 5 lbs of veggies that should last us through the week. I only gave the cashier four coupons and that literally killed me. But, I had to remind myself that I was scoring great deals on the meat and veggies! What I will do with the chicken is split it up into 1 lb portions (or should I say my husband will) and we will trim the fat, put the chicken in Ziploc freezer baggies and freeze it. That’s the key with stockpiling. Stock up on an item when it is dirt cheap (for Publix $1.99/lb for chicken breasts is dirt cheap) and then buy it next time it is on sale dirt cheap again. So – for all of you who ask me if I eat meat – the answer is yes… that said, I have a freezer now stocked with chicken and red meat that I have managed to purchase when they have been on sale good.

What deals are you taking advantage of this week? I would love to hear if you have found some great deals! Please leave a comment on this post filling me in on your deals as well as how much you spent and saved!

It has been so long since I’ve been shopping! Today while shoping I realized that I haven’t been in Publix since before Thanksgiving and for the first time since I started this website I didn’t do a Photo Show and Tell! I forced myself to go to Publix today because I needed to get Tomato Puree for my pasta sauce that I plan on making this week. Besides that, I was able to score some good deals on items that I didn’t necessarily need but I couldn’t pass up. And, I’m excited about the Scotch Brite Dobie Scrubbers I snagged for $0.29 each! What deals are you taking advantage of this week?

Photo Show and Tell – Publix 11/15/10

Liza — Mon, 15 Nov 2010 22:35:16 +0000

I am so late posting my Photo Show and Tell this week! I did my shopping Thursday night but now here I am posting this on an early Monday evening! These sales are still going on – they will end Wednesday or Tuesday depending on where you live. I didn’t buy a ton of food during this shopping trip because I knew that I wouldn’t be home much the past few days. But I did stock up on Nestle Toll House Morsels because I go through bags and bags morsels when I bake cookies over the holidays. Now is the time to start stocking up on baking and cooking ingredients you use in your favorite holiday meals. So, starting planning ahead and figuring out what you will want to cook and bake this November and December and when you see those items on sale (and you have coupons to use) buy them now! I also scored excellent deals on the Voila frozen meals because the bags all had $1.00 peelies. See my scenario below to score very very cheap bags of Voila meals. Also – if you have the coupons for Vigo Yellow Rice, even if you don’t use the rice, I would recommend you purchase it to donate.

The items I purchased today coincide with this week’s Publix Weekly ad. To see this week’s ad & coupon matchups, go HERE.

Photo Show and Tell – Publix 11/5/10

Liza — Fri, 05 Nov 2010 22:23:17 +0000

Happy November! For my first shopping trip of the month I had a hugely successful day. I made two Publix shopping trips today. I went to my favorite Publix which is 2 minutes from my house and then I went to a Publix a little farther from my house because I had six $1.00/1 Target Produce coupons that expired tomorrow and the farther Publix accepts Target coupons. I got a ton of freebies and during my second Publix trip I actually had to buy a small package of sandwich crackers (they were $0.34) in order for the cashier to be able to use all of the coupons I gave her! My favorite deal that I took advantage of was the FREE Rubbermaid containers I was able to stock up on!! I am planning on making homemade chili and and these containers will be perfect to replace the older containers I have used day in and day out for storing leftovers. The thing I LOVE about couponing is that I never know what I am going to get free. I’m used to getting great deals on pasta, cookie mix, etc etc but freebies like Rubbermaid containers really make my day!

I am going to combine both transaction into one so that you can see everything easily but on my first trip I spend $2.36 and saved $68.66 and on my second trip I spend $0.14 – yes fourteen cents – and saved $47.66.

The items I purchased today coincide with this week’s Publix Weekly ad. To see this week’s ad & coupon matchups, go HERE.

If you are new to saving money at Publix, read my Intro to Publix post!

**NOTE**
1) My Publix allows us to use more than one of the same Publix store coupon and/or competitor coupon. Not all Publix locations allow this. You should ask customer service if they allow this before loading up your cart.
2) Not all Publix locations allow overage. If your Publix does not allow overage, they will adjust the value of the coupon down so that you receive the item for free.

Photo Show and Tell – Publix 10/22/10

Liza — Fri, 22 Oct 2010 21:31:06 +0000

Can you believe it’s time for another Photo Show and Tell? These weeks are flying by and I feel like I was just typing up last week’s Photo Show and Tell. Crazy. I don’t know about you, but I’m not overly thrilled with this week’s Publix ad. Don’t get me wrong, there are a ton of great sales, but for me and my household’s needs, there really wasn’t much that I wanted to buy and stockpile away. I wish I had better coupons for the Dial deal because we are in desperate need of bar soap.. and I wish I had better Steamfresh Veggies coupons because we love Steamfresh veggies (the ones w/o sauce). But, my coupons were only average so I didn’t go crazy. I was excited about the asparagus sale and even though I had no coupons I was also excited about the Aunt Jemima sale.. Oh – I also received my $5.00 Publix Rebate Gift Card from the Kellogg’s Cinnabon Deal I posted about in HERE August.. so, at least I had $5.00 off of my total purchase today I ended up spending more money than I would have liked considering what I bought, but I’m fine with it.

What are you stocking up on this week? What deals are you taking advantage of?

The items I purchased today coincide with this week’s Publix Weekly ad. To see this week’s ad & coupon matchups, go HERE.

3) Not all Publix locations allow overage. If your Publix does not allow overage, they will adjust the value of the coupon down so that you receive the item for free.

Photo Show and Tell – Publix 10/15/10

Liza — Fri, 15 Oct 2010 21:49:58 +0000

Happy Friday! I’m so happy this week is over! It has been a really long week for me and I’m happy that the weekend is here! I had fun at Publix today – like always Today was actually the first day I left the house since my surgery so walking around Publix was a bit interesting. Usually when I shop, I am in and out of the store in 30 minutes or less. But, today, my trip took a bit longer as I got distracted quite a bit and was just very slow walking around. I am SO disappointed that I didn’t print out the $2.00/1 Nestle candy coupon that I told all of you about at least 3 times. Hopefully you all printed it because you will get an outstanding deal on candy. Since I didn’t print it, I will be scanning the sales for candy deals in the next two weeks and I will keep you posted with what I find! Regarding my trip today, I will tell you up front – I spent more money on this one Publix trip than I have spent on any one trip all year. Part of me wants to be frustrated over that fact, but I was able to purchase 8 bags of coffee (we go through it like it is water), more of the Crunchmaster crackers (using a rain check) and I bought over $25 worth of P&G products so I can submit for another Cooking Up Early Detection kitchenware rebate set (using my mom’s info). So, I’m pleased. I still have veggies left from Jeff’s grocery trip last week and my freezer still has meat so yet again, I focused on sales and getting the kitchenware rebate.

**On a personal note, thank you to everyone who posted kind comments and sent me emails about my health. I am doing really well and I’m recovering nicely. I didn’t realize the surgery was going to be quite as extensive as it actually was so the entire experience has been extremely humbling. You all were so patient with me while I was away from my computer and I wanted to thank all of you for your kind words and prayers.

The items I purchased today coincide with this week’s Publix Weekly ad. To see this week’s ad & coupon matchups, go HERE.

SPECIAL GUEST Publix Photo Show and Tell – 10/8/10

Liza — Fri, 08 Oct 2010 23:28:22 +0000

So last week Liza promised a guest blogger to do her weekly Publix Photo Show and Tell, and I must confess, I was more nervous to go shopping today than I have ever been in my life…and I’m her husband! Yes, her special guest blogger is her hubby, and when your wife knows how to seriously get it done at any store she walks into, this task was a bit daunting (especially coming off of her 9 cents before tax Publix run last week). I know what you’re thinking – how can you be nervous, you see her do this every week? True, but it’s kind of like when you bump into an old acquaintance at your kid’s piano recital and you both talk about how you should get together one of these days but instead you go about your merry ways because some things are more fun to talk about than to actually do. Talking about how much you can save and actually doing it are totally different, even when your wife IS a professional savings blogger.

Nonetheless, I decided to take on the challenge, man up, and prove to reluctant and spineless men everywhere that couponing is a piece of cake! Please note that I did not consult Liza, but simply went to her Publix weekly ad, looked for anything in RED b/c I know those are the good deals, made my list and headed out! (Confession – she did make me cut the Hunt’s Tomatoes coupons knowing full well I would’ve gladly left them uncut). Because we have a sufficient stockpile, I knew there was nothing pressing that we needed, so keep that in mind too.

Now I know why you need a list – weak sales items that you really want are so tempting (Parmesan cheese, I just couldn’t buy you without a coupon)! But seeing as I’m a sugar-a-holic, I purchased the Publix sugar 5 lb bag (best value) without a trace of guilt and will gladly enjoy it in tomorrow’s coffee. The best part about the trip? Totino’s pizzas for $0.83 a pizza! Yes, Liza tells me the sauce tastes like ketchup – which is ironic since I don’t like tomatoes – but since when did your husband do anything that made any sense?

You’ll notice I splurged on the Luigi’s Italian Ice (with no coupon), but it’s a BOGO and quite frankly, I thought my wife, who’s been laid up in bed for 24 hours with a sore throat, might enjoy the cool, soothing deliciousness of such a fun treat!

I know I didn’t save as much as Liza does (or as much as many of you do), but I actually had a blast in my first Publix coupon run! We got cheap fresh veggies, yummy Planters for less than two quarters, inexpensive gum (and I’m a freak about my breath), and that really cool Resolve that lets you wipe the stick over a stain and you don’t have to wash for 7 days – how neat is that!

Thanks for letting me be a guest blogger – you all have blessed her so much with your comments, meaning you’ve blessed me indirectly in the process. (And FYI, it is a LOT of work to post these…wow).

And let this be proof that men really can coupon, so don’t let ’em fool you ladies! The items I purchased today coincide with this week’s Publix Weekly ad. To see this week’s ad & coupon matchups, go HERE.

Photo Show and Tell – Publix 9/10/10

Liza — Fri, 10 Sep 2010 21:59:01 +0000

I know I know I know. You are looking at this picture and not only are you thinking and wondering why I bought so many Toaster Strudels, but you are also wondering where all the veggies are and where the meat is!! (Do I know all of you or what? You know that I love Publix. Today, however, there really wasn’t much I wanted to buy. I wanted to get the Trop50 Orange Juice and I wanted to get the Barilla pasta sauce. But seriously, I would have been okay buying just those two things. HOWEVER, everything got tricky when I had a $10.00 off of $50.00 Publix store coupon that a reader sent me last week. I had to spend $50.00 (before coupons) in order to use this coupon. So, since I am planning on buying chicken at Sweetbay this week (go HERE for more info) and since I still have veggies from last week’s Publix sale, I decided to splurge on Toaster Strudel. My hubby is a huge fan of it. That said, neither he nor I will go through all 12 boxes. So, never fear, I have already given away 6 boxes

And, make sure this is a direct link to your deals – I will remove links that go to your home page.

The items I purchased today coincide with this week’s Publix Weekly ad. To see this week’s ad & coupon matchups, go HERE.

If you are new to saving money at Publix, read my Intro to Publix post!

**NOTE** 1) My Publix allows us to use more than one of the same Publix store coupon and/or competitor coupon. Not all Publix locations allow this. You should ask customer service if they allow this before loading up your cart. 2) You should find out what stores your Publix considers competition so that you know what competitor coupons you can use. Some but not all Publix locations accept Target, Winn Dixie, Whole Foods, Sweet Bay, Walgreens, and many more. 3) Not all Publix locations allow overage. If your Publix does not allow overage, they will adjust the value of the coupon down so that you receive the item for free.

Photo Show and Tell – Publix 8/26/10

I had another great Publix trip today! I focused on a few sales items that I wanted to stock up on and I focused on the awesome $0.99/lb produce deals. I am wondering if I can cut up and freeze zucchini and yellow squash? Has anyone tried that before?

I had a great trip although I chose the wrong cashier. You all know what I mean… when I got in her line I knew right away I should have chosen a different line… But, I put on a smile and I organized my stack of my coupons to match the order of the items on the conveyor belt. My first problem was when she wouldn’t give me overage on the Combat even though I’ve received overage on that deal at her Publix numerous times before. No big deal to me. I didn’t want to raise a fuss and ruin it for any couponers who happened in her line after me. However, she told me she would use either the store Combat coupon or the manufacturer coupon. Not both. I reminded her that she had to adjust the value of the coupon down so that I received the item free without overage. She reluctantly did this. It was funny to me that she knew how to do this which showed me she just didn’t want to give me the item free and she was hoping I would let it slide. Then, towards the end of the transaction, her register wouldn’t allow her to accept any more coupons because I gave her so many store and manufacturer coupons. Not a bid deal right? Well, she tells me she can’t accept any more of my coupons and literally is about to hand my pile of unused coupons back. To which I tell her, no, all you need to do is have a manager override the system. Again, she reluctantly did this and called the manager over and the manager (who was awesome btw) punched in her code.

This was a reminder, though, of how important it is to know how couponing works. If I was a coupon newbie, I would have lost money on the Combat deal and I would have lost money on the stack of coupons the cashier tried to give me back! To my newbies reading this, always know that it is okay to question a cashier’s actions.

Photo Show and Tell – Publix 8/13/10

Liza — Sat, 14 Aug 2010 00:35:55 +0000

I had an awesome Publix trip today! I knew right away it would be a good trip because of the $10.00 off of $50.00 coupon my reader Christine mailed me! I really went into today’s trip making it as a game. I wanted to spend at least $50.00 before coupons (so I could use the $10/$50) and yet I wanted to score as many of the best deals as I could so that I spent as little money as possible. Success! Many of you have emailed me about where my produce is and where my meat is in my Photo Show and Tells. Sometimes I buy meat but not often. I only buy it when it is on sale good and then I stock up and freeze it (I will buy as much as 20 lbs of it). (Someday I will post pictures of my stockpiles to prove I have veggies, meat, dairy, etc.) Regarding produce, lately, I have found Winn Dixie to have better produce prices. And, last month there was the awesome Groupon deal I posted. I bought two $25.00 gift certificates to Messineo’s Market in St Petersburg. (I paid zero for the Groupon b/c I had a Groupon gift certificate.) Anyways, I was able to score a TON of produce (organic and non organic), organic lean ground beef, fresh salmon, organic salsa, the list goes on and on). Remember when you view my photos that this is not the only shopping I do each week. This is my “main” Publix run. I will usually make one more grocery stop than the one you see pictured. The totals I have on the left side of the screen include all of the out of pocket spending I make each month on groceries and toiletries at every store I shop at. So, the totals are an accurate portrayal of my spending and saving. Just remember that sometimes I use gift cards, sometimes I use Groupon deals, I am always looking to maximize each dollar I have. Also – remember that we all have different needs. I have been stockpiling for literally a year now so I have a lot of food, toiletries, etc.

I was excited about today’s shopping venture because coffee is on sale B1G1! My husband goes through coffee like it is going out of style. So, I was SO excited to see Eight O’Clock Coffee on sale B1G1 again this week. Beyond the coffee, however, I really didn’t need anything besides the Hungry Jack syrup. Let me tell you about the syrup. You know that we all have non-negotiables. Things that we have to have whether they are on sale or not. For me, it would be Heinz Ketchup or Tropicana Orange Juice. For my husband, it is Hungry Jack syrup. I have a ton of Eggo waffles for him to enjoy (go HERE) and he refuses to eat them without his Hungry Jack syrup. So, I had to buy it… Without a coupon. Considering the fact that I spent a mere $0.36 during last week’s Photo Show and Tell (go HERE) I figured it would be okay to go a bit “crazy” today. So I did – well, I went as “crazy” as I can. I am also in the midst of joining a produce co-op so I won’t have to buy many veggies at the store any more. When all was said and done I ended up saving 87%. This is a lot less than normal but I’m okay with that. I stocked up on bread to freeze, I have syrup for hubby and I stocked up on applesauce that I will use to bake with and as an occasional snack. So, I’m pleased.

I did an awesome job yesterday on my spending and saving during this Publix trip. I focused entirely on the sales and the coupons that I had in my stash since I needed nothing. Although, looking at my photo, we did need the Bic lighters – we use those for candles and starting the grill so I was super excited they were on sale Buy One Get One Free.

I had a great day at Publix today! I managed to save 94.2% AND I bought a ton of produce and was able to get four cartons of milk for cheap. (Make sure you read my recent post HERE to get the milk for FREE – bummer that I came across the $2/1 printable after I finished my shopping trip ;)) I really needed nothing other than milk and produce today so I think I did pretty good. I am super excited about the prices on produce right now. Now is the time to buy fresh fruits and veggies! I also splurged and bought Perdue Baked Chicken Tenderloins that are on sale B1G1. I didn’t have coupons for these items so it felt a bit weird to make sure a pricey purchase without coupons, but you know what, it’s okay! That’s why we use coupons. We use coupons to save money and with our savings splurge every once in a while!

There was a pricing issue with the Combat. The sign on the shelf showed the Combat to be $4.69 each. However, when they rang up, they rang up as $8.39 each. I didn’t realize the error until I had walked my cart to the car. So, I went back to customer service and they ended up giving me $16.90 in cash. Looking back, I’m not quite sure how they came up with that dollar amount.. I told them I had used $5.00 in coupons on each box, but they insisted I take the $16.90. So, I made some extra money on the deal.

Photo Show and Tell – Publix 6/17/10

Liza — Thu, 17 Jun 2010 19:20:28 +0000

I had a great day at Publix today! I was super excited about the produce deals! I LOVE zucchini and squash and green beans and all of these were on sale at $0.99/lb. I only bought 4 lbs of veggies today since we won’t be around a ton this weekend. BUT, I will definitely go back and buy more next week! I was also SO excited when I realized that the Starbucks Coffee Free Ice Cream was on sale B1G1 and I was able to use my $1.50/1 Starbucks coupons on them! And yes, I did buy a ton of rice. The rice was ridiculously cheap and I will keep all the brown rice I bought and will donate the white rice (I am donating white b/c in my mind, most people prefer white to brown.. thoughts?). Beyond that, I got a couple freebies here and there and just had a good day. The best part of my day was the cashier that checked me out. I hope she reads this When she saw me coming she said “I need to get my days switched”. She was joking and I think she’s hilarious but it was funny to realize that when they see me coming they automatically equate me with a stack of coupons. Ha.

I had a great day at Publix today! I was able to get some veggies and utilize some great coupons I had burning a hole in my pocket. I must say that looking at my picture I’ve posted, I realize that I only bought one item that was on sale B1G1! As you probably know, that abnormal for me! But, this week’s sale is only so-so and I ended up finding other deals utilizing the coupons I had. When all is said and done, I ended up saving 99.2% which I will take any day!

I had an amazing day at Publix today. In fact, the picture above doesn’t adequately show everything I purchased. Publix has some awesome sales this week and if you have the right coupons, you should be able to do a great job! I went to two different Publix locations. The first Publix that I went to accepts Target store coupons and as you probably saw in this week’s ad, there are some awesome deals at Publix this week when you use Target coupons. So, I used my Target coupons at the first Publix and then went to my favorite Publix on the way home and finished up my shopping there. After both shopping trips, I spent a grand total of $6.44 and saved $277.81 I will separate each transaction so you can see exactly what I purchased at each Publix.

Photo Show and Tell CVS – 4/21/10

Liza — Thu, 22 Apr 2010 16:29:55 +0000

So, I had $6 Extra Care Bucks expiring. Okay, truth time, they expired. They expired last week. But, one of my readers emailed me that CVS accepts expired ECBs so I brought my $6 in, asked my favorite cashier and she readily said she would take the $6ECBs. Awesome. Next task for me was to spend those ECBs wisely. I did a great job UNTIL I went to check out. I had planned on buying two Thermacare Heatwraps, but my CVS was out. So, when I was checking out, I had to spend $2.90ish more in order for my ECBs to be accepted. UGH. I’ve been pretty sick and on over the counter meds so the combo makes my mind fuzzy. I looked at US magazine, saw it was $3.99 and somehow in my mind thought that $3.99 = $2.90ish. Again, let me reinforce, I’m sick and my mind is fuzzy. Anyways, what would have been an awesome CVS run turned out to be only subpar. Especially since I don’t need, have time to read or really want to read US. So, when all was said and done, I spent $2.19 on everything in the picture above. I saved $27.84. I also received a total of $2.99 ECBs to use next time. ***I know you are thinking, “Liza, be grateful you only spent $2.19”.. But, you have to understand, I use shopping at CVS as a challenge to spend AS LITTLE out of pocket as possible. I am grateful for everything I got. I am also so thankful. I just wish I hadn’t bought the trash magazine and had instead bought a bottle or two of water. Oh well P.S. If you get All You Magazine – You can do the EXACT same things as me below. All of the coupons I used were from All You.

Photo Show and Tell – Publix 4/9/10

Liza — Fri, 09 Apr 2010 23:26:38 +0000

It was a very quiet day today as I went to Publix. There is literally nothing that I need right now. However, there were a couple of sales I wanted to take advantage of and I had Ore-Ida coupons that were expiring tomorrow so I needed to make a quick stop. I will do a bit of addictedtosaving.com housekeeping right now – the most common questions I receive in my email inbox after photo show and tells are, “where is all the meat?”, “do you eat meat?”, “how much do you spend on meat?” Let me answer the questions for you – all of my meat is jam packed in my freezer, yes I eat meat, and the amount I spend is based on sales and coupons I have. I will tell you that I haven’t bought much meat lately. Two and a half months ago I stocked up on boneless chicken breasts when it was priced at $1.79/lb at Publix. I bought approximately 20 lbs, split up the chicken breasts and froze them. I think I have only one bag of chicken left so my fingers are crossed that it goes on sale next week at Publix! I also have approximately 6 lbs of ground turkey, 3 lbs of lean ground beef and 1 lb of salmon in my freezer. So, yes, I do buy meat… but only when it’s on sale good and once it’s on sale I stock up. Next time I stock up on chicken, I will take a picture to prove to you all that I buy it. Oh – and my monthly tally does include the money I spend on proteins….. Okay. Now that that is taken care of.. Today I went ahead and bought the $50.00 BP Gas gift card. When all is said and done, I spent $47.17 and saved $81.88 (including the gift card). If I focus only on groceries, I spent $7.17 and saved $71.88.

The items I purchased today coincide with this week’s Publix Weekly ad. To see this week’s ad & coupon matchups, go HERE.

Photo Show and Tell – Give it Away!

Liza — Fri, 26 Mar 2010 17:59:18 +0000

I do have my weekly Photo Show and Tell to post soon, but I wanted to post this picture to show what stockpiling can do. I started really getting into couponing this past summer (mid-summer). As I’ve learned how to save money, I realized that (for me) buying 2 papers each weekend wasn’t enough. So, I buy 6 – 8 newspapers each weekend. As I’ve bought 6-8 newspapers, I am able to gather 6-8 copies of each coupon. This allows me to really stock up on items that are cheap and/or free. The picture above isn’t earth shattering – it’s probably only
$150.00 or so worth of groceries and toiletries . But, I wanted to show this to really motivate you. I donated everything in the picture above to the Kimberly Home (a home for women with unplanned pregnancies and/or troubling pregnancies). Before I started couponing, I never would have had the financial resources to buy everything in the picture above because let’s be honest, money is T I G H T! But, since I’ve been couponing, I’ve been able to not only drastically cut my grocery/toiletry expenses each week while at the same time tripling the amount of products I buy each week! Because of this, my stockpile is sufficient enough that I can go through it and give tons of stuff away and yet still have a large enough stockpile to sustain my family. What a blessing! My challenge for you is to do the same! As you learn how to save and as you increase your stockpile each week, start to set aside items to donate. If you are new to couponing, wait a few weeks until you start to gather a large stockpile. And, once you have enough to share, do that, share it!! There is no reason to have hundreds of boxes of jello if you aren’t going to use all 100 boxes (like the guy in the video from Nightline). Like I say in the Addicted to Saving 101 classes, there is a fine line between stockpiling and hoarding! I guarantee there are people out there who would benefit drastically from something as simple as a few boxes of jello (that may be a luxury item to them)! Or, when we get pasta for $0.15 a box and sauce for $0.30 a jar, let’s give it away – there are so many people who would love to have these items for their family!! As we gain more, let’s give away more. That’s my challenge for you. God Bless!

Photo Show & Tell – Reader Success Story

Liza — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 18:38:13 +0000

One of my favorite things about having this website is being able to post Photo Show and Tells from my readers. There is nothing that inspires me more than reading and seeing how YOU ALL (the readers) are doing. Please email me when you have brag worthy shopping ventures. I would love to post your pictures because I know that you inspire me AND you inspire everyone else as well!

Let me tell you about this picture. This Photo Show & Tell is ridiculous. When I see everything in this picture and realize how much Jordan spent and saved, I am literally dumbfounded. I think it’s safe to say that Jordan has done EXTRAORDINARY! I first met with Jordan back in late October/early November when I gave a couponing class. I knew right away that Jordan would do well with couponing and saving. And, this past weekend, she proved me right. Jordan spent $7.32 ($4.28 of her total was sales tax) and saved $216.02. Jordan saved 97%. Again, can I say ridiculous!!

I also wanted to remind you that I have two upcoming couponing classes in the Tampa Bay area. Go Here to read about them. Also – I am now giving Home Parties if you would prefer a more casual, home setting to learn about saving money. I can meet with just you and your family, or if you would prefer to have your friends, neighbors, etc join you, that would be great too! A home party would be a very relaxed setting where you provide food and beverages for your friends and I come and provide Addicted to Saving information =) Email me for more info!

Photo Show and Tell – Walgreens Week of March 1st

Liza — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 00:01:35 +0000

**Don’t forget to sign up for Addicted to Saving’s Universal Studios Orlando Ticket Giveaway!!!

This week was one of those weeks where I had a very intense love/hate relationship with Walgreens. Walgreens can be maddening. Each store has different coupon policies depending on management. I went to 5 different Walgreens stores (all w/in a 10 mile radius) on Monday and each store had different policies – some accepted B1G1 coupons w/ a B1G1 sale, others did not. Then, today, my husband stepped in a saved the day and used the remainder of my B1G1 Purex coupons. I feel so blessed that I now have enough detergent to last me at least 2 years. And, in the end, I can safely say that Walgreens that is again on my good side.

If you are wondering why I have so much Purex, this week Walgreens has Purex 50 oz, 32 load on sale B1G1 (they are usually $5.99 each). I originally posted about the deal Here. There is a B1G1 Purex manufacturer coupon in 2/21/10 RP (Feb 21st’s Red Plum insert). If you use one B1G1 coupon with a B1G1 sale, you will get both items free. (Side note – not all Walgreens accept B1G1 coupons with B1G1 sales.)

Since I was able to find enough Walgreens stores to accept my coupons, I was able to get 20 Purex bottles for free. I only had to pay tax. I spent $4.80 total on all of the bottles above and I saved $119.80. It is not too late for you to do this deal. It takes some work, perserverance and driving, but you should be able to get free Purex too.

Photo Show and Tell – Publix 2/18/10

Liza — Thu, 18 Feb 2010 23:08:52 +0000

The photo above coincides with this week’s Publix Sale so you can get these items through Tuesday, 2/23 or Wednesday 2/24 (depending on when your Publix sale ends)!! I did okay today at Publix. Not as amazing as I wished, but considering I got La Croix sparkling water without a coupon as well as Afta aftershave without a coupon, I guess I can’t complain too much. I did take advantage of Publix’s Progresso Italian Days coupon sheet and I asked the customer service woman who checked me out and she let me use the $5/20 items coupon along with the individual $1.00 off coupons. I wasn’t as agressive as I could have been with this deal because I didn’t want to get in line with 20 cans of soup to be told they wouldn’t accept them. But, I was able to get 6 Green Giant Veggies, 6 Progresso Soup, 4 Muir Glen Sauce and 4 Pillsbury Sweet Rolls for $5.05 total which broken down made it $0.25 an item! I ended up spending a total of $10.19 on the $87.00 worth of groceries in the picture above.

Photo Show and Tell – Readers Success Stories

Liza — Thu, 18 Feb 2010 03:12:59 +0000

Two of my awesome readers emailed me pictures showing off their excellent couponing skills. I want to share these pictures with you because I want you to realize that ANYONE can save money. It takes a bit of time and it takes a bit of effort, but anyone can save big bucks. Not just me – the crazy Addicted to Saving blogger. And frankly, it is success stories like the ones below that inspire me to keep this blog going!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Below are two pictures Thomasina emailed me. Thomasina had an amazing trip to CVS. In two transactions she paid only $7.33 out of pocket for everything you see in the two pictures below. A Tide Stain Release, 2 Old Spice Deoderants, 2 boxes of Cheerios, 2 bottles of Nivea, 2 baggies of Power Bar Energy Gel and 5 packets of Gum. NOT BAD HUH!!! She did awesome!

Dee Dee emailed me the picture below and after Register Rewards, she spent only $0.88 cents on everything in the picture!! How absurd is that?!? Pull Ups, Body Wash, Kotex, Wet Ones, etc etc for $0.88 cents after factoring in Register Rewards! Amazing!

**Please email me your success stories! And, I know it’s a crazy concept, but if you have an excellent shopping trip, I would love to hear how much you saved and to see pictures!! Also, I am ALWAYS looking for deals to post on my website, so please email me with any deals, coupons, sales, unadvertised sales, etc etc that you see!

I had to go to Walgreens today – not for anything in particular – but because I wanted to take advantage of the Walgreen Friends and Family Discount that I posted about yesterday. Walgreens has some great deals this week so I went in with the goal of using my $10RRs (Register Rewards) and spending as little as possible on moneymakers or freebies. I did a pretty good job. The only thing missing from this picture is the one filler item I had to buy – Peanut Butter Whoppers. My husband went with me on my Walgreens trip and I let him get a box of Whoppers even though it caused me to spend a bit more than I wanted. Oh well – at least the Whoppers were tasty! The best thing is that I was able to buy everything in one transaction!

Here’s the rundown and how to do what I did for today’s Publix stop:

1 Box of Whoppers on sale for $1.00

Minus 15% Discount

Total: $0.85

I had a fun day at Publix today. I had a $10 off of $50 Winn Dixie coupon AND a $5 off of $50 Publix coupon burning a hole in my pocket and I was excited to use both of those coupons. I got AWESOME deals on the Kotex, Country Crock and Goodlife Cat food. If you want to do the Kotex or Country Crock deal, you have to do these by tomorrow (Saturday 2/13) since the Publix store coupons expire then. And yes, I did get A LOT of Country Crock but my husband goes through one of those tiny tubs a month (gross I know). But, it was free. **UPDATE the Country Crock SHOULD HAVE BEEN FREE but I am loopy on cold medicine and I forgot to hand the cashier two store and two manufacturer coupons for the country crock – eek. SO, I ended up paying $0.21 for each carton of Country Crock. I guess I will have to go back and use up the four coupons I still have in my purse… Darn cold medicine….** I ended up spending $6.83 on the $116.09 worth of groceries you see in the picture above.

I didn’t NEED anything at Walgreens when I went Sunday night. But, I knew they had a lot of freebies and moneymakers this week to give away. AND, I had RRs (Register Rewards) that were expiring. I started off the night with a $1RR, $5RR, $5RR and $1RR. I split the purchases above into two transactions to minimize out of pocket spending. I did okay at Walgreens.. I’m not thrilled about my spending to savings ratio… but, I did have RRs expiring and I was able to get more to use next time…
