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!

I bought the Ken’s Dressing on sale BOGO for $2.76, but I used a coupon I had for “Buy 2 get one free.” And since they were already BOGO, I ended up getting 4 for the price of one! Very exciting! :-p
Sabrina Dalessandro says
That deal would work better if you had 2 B2G1 free coupons. Buy 3 of the B1G1 deals(6 items total), use 2 coupons. You would get 5 for the price of one. That’s what I do to maximize the B2G1 coupons, hope that helps for in the future.
Jessica Nardini says
Yeah that would have been better…sadly, I only had the one coupon 🙁
Rosalind says
http://www.stayfree.ca/sampling/en/coupon.asp this is a $2 off any stayfree product, makes it a moneymaker with the publix coupon
kwai says
Omg thank you Rosalind!! Im going to stock up 🙂 I always need those 😛
Sarah says
That coupon states “offer only valid in Canada”
Maria says
Great trip Lizza! I found a rebate for stayfree, carefree and o.b. I found it at cvs on the package of stayfree. It reads buy any 2 get $5.
Rosalind,
I don’t know but we might have trouble with the stayfree coupon…it looks strange…and the barcode starts with a 4…maybe canadian? thanks
kwai says
hey Maria..my Publix took that coupon and i used 4 today!!! Definitely a money makers – all FREE…and I was able to print two more coupons tonight so i am going back tom. YAY
kwai says
ahhh No …..Maria ur right it is only for Canada 🙁
Maria says
Liza,
I would like to clarify the stayfree rebate since I typed really fast and didn’t do that. The rebate is buy any 2 carefree(30ct or higher), any 2 stayfree, or any o.b(excluding trial sizes). My store didn’t have any of the carefree so I purchased the stayfree and still a good mm. thanks!
