Photo Show & Tell: Beneful Dog Food, Barefoot Contessa Dinners, Playtex Tampons, Olive Oil and MORE

Did you have a good week? I’ve had a great week although I could use a couple weekend days to sleep all day! (We all know that isn’t going to happen!)  This past week I took our 18 month old to his first gymnastics class and he had a blast.  I have to admit, I got a great workout just chasing him around the gym as he played! There is probably nothing cuter than a roomful of toddlers running around in a parent/child gymnastics class!

This week’s Publix shopping trip is all about donateable items for me!  While there are some deals I was really excited to get (olive oil, Ice Cream Bars, Tampons), there are also some deals that we took advantage of that we are already planning on giving away.  I can’t resist getting free dog food to give away, cheap cereal and cheap Hamburger Helper to give away and even bologna and body lotion to give away! If you are new to couponing, with time you will start to see that as you coupon more and more, you will be able to get lots of things to give away and bless others!

Please remember that you do not see much produce in today’s shopping trip because hubby and I belong to a weekly coop. So, every week, we get a bin full of around 40 lbs of fruits and veggies. We also have stocked up on boneless, skinless chicken breasts with Zaycon Foods. **Right now Zaycon Foods is taking reservations for their upcoming $1.89 Fresh Boneless Skinless Chicken Event!

If you shop at a Publix that accepts Winn Dixie coupons, you might notice that every week I use a $5.00 off $30.00 Winn Dixie Enjoy the City coupon while grocery shopping. Right now Enjoy the City coupon books are on sale for as low as $2.50 each! (Each book has FOUR $5/$30 Winn Dixie coupons!) When I factor the cost of the coupon book with the $20.00 worth of coupons in it, each book is a $17.50 MONEYMAKER! Go HERE to see the Enjoy the City deal.
