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!
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!

Carolyn says
Such great sales this week!!! Love the cheap feta cheese! I can’t wait to go shopping!!! 🙂
Sarah says
Yes I found the .50 cent off peelies at my publix yesterday and I got 16 bottles of soft soap for free! ????
LS says
I saved 62% this week. This is only my third week of trying this. Not too bad since I’m still working on catching my coupon collection up!
Addicted to Saving says
Wow! LS – that is great! Great job!
Melanie says
I was able to deal shop only this week at publix with my grocery budget for the week since we are a little too stocked up and are eating out of the stock pile for the next few weeks. I saved 70% this week!!! I’m happy with all the BOGO baby food 🙂
Adriee says
i Went to publix yesterday planning on buying any Kashi product (since i had the $2 off coupon) and theres the U Cereal, it had a .70 off on the box it’s self! plus my $2 off, it came out costing me $0.29 !!
Jennifer G says
Technically that should not have worked unless the $0.70 off was a store coupon because the $2 off is a manufacture coupon.
Coupon Clipping says
Some shopping weeks at Publix it looks to me like there isn’t much of anything I need or want for stockpiling. But once I start to read what others picked up and then look at their photos, I start to think “I want those grape jellys and Newtons and Kashi bars too.” And it keeps going and going. LOL. Thanks for the inspiration y’all.
Maria says
Liza,
Shouldn’t we be able to use the playtex bogo buy the 36ct get the 20 ct free and get two 20ct free? and use a $1 toward the 36 ct? If it works out this way it would be a good deal if you needed, I think! thanks, nice trip!
