Today was a quick trip to Publix. I am about to leave town for a few days and I didn’t want to buy anything perishable. My grocery cart was pretty boring but next week when I return I will shop more. So, I focused on the sales and coupons I had because if you have watched my Photo Show and Tells, you know I hate to miss out on a good deal! 🙂 I did really well. I spent $3.54 and saved $90.89,
The items I purchased today coincide with this week’s Publix Weekly ad. To see this week’s ad & coupon matchups, go HERE.

Thanks for coming to Addicted to Saving! Here’s a little bit about me so you can know who’s behind all these posts!
My name is Liza and I began my money-saving journey in the Spring of 2009 as a way to stretch a limited household income. I had lost my job and my hubby was self-employed. I launched Addicted to Saving in November of 2009 and it has grown by leaps and bounds. Since then, my hubby and I have struggled with the ups and downs of two failed adoptions and are now LOVING being parents to our little man Asher who we brought home from Ethiopia in August of 2013. I feel incredibly blessed to be able to help you save money. My goal is that you will have FUN and become empowered to save more and more money each week..
You are GOOD!
Curious as to how the spicy nacho flavor popcorn is!
Hi Natalie – I tried the spicy nacho popcorn about a month ago. It has a great zing to it! It definitely made my nose run just a little =)
YAY! Where did you get the Targe $5 off coupon?
Hi Manja! I got the Target coupon in the mail sometime during the week before Easter… It was a random thing. I’ve never received Target mailers before that!
I would love to see the cashier’s face when they saw your total!
Awesome job!! Completely inspiring!
Great JOB!!!I actually finished my list and I am getting everything you got plus then some, some and some…lol. I will email you the pic as soon as I go to our FAV place PUBLIX. lets see how I do this time.
I also went to Publix today…saved 68%…not too bad!! I cleared out the Scrubbing Bubbles – literally!! (there were only 2 sprayer kits and 2 refills, so I’m not hoarding!)ha!ha! My cashier was very friendly/chatty with me (as I was with her) and she missed a $3 coupon…I went back in and the service desk found the coupon (in the cashier’s coupon pouch) and refunded my money…it pays to double check the receipt!!
I look forward to seeing how everyone else does this week!
Way to go, Liza, and thanks for sharing all of your deals!!!
Great job!!!
Wow! Great Job! And you got some really great stuff!
Hey Manja. I don’t know what area you are in but where I’m located, we have a Winn Dixie close by. If you spend a small amount there (I usually go if I have some coupons, there are some GOOD sales and we’re in the area)…usually under $10, you usually get a $5 off $50 spent at the register and the Publix I go to considers Winn Dixie a competitor and will accept their coupons (along with Target coups so far). Maybe this will help you. 🙂
