I don’t know about you but I’ve had a long week! I’m thankful the weekend is here to give me a chance to mentally regroup a little. For me, Publix’s sales haven’t been that enticing lately. So I’m finding that I’m not looking as forward to going shopping each week. Typically, I like to use each week’s shopping trip as a chance to stock up on great deals and then purchase the necessities. I’m finding less and less stockpile opportunities lately. I was happy that I was able to stack quite a few Publix or Target store coupons with manufacturer coupons. This week I was also excited to splurge on a family size container of Sabra Hummus (for me) and two Totino’s Pizzas (for hubby). Hopefully you all had a successful week shopping!

Liza, In addition to your observation in this post there are ” less and less stockpile opportunities,” 2012 has not been generous with close out or clearance deals at popular retailers in comparison to the previous year. Price increases in addition to limited stock appear to be common in our local market. This further supports the necessity of your site to aid consumers with tools to maximize their spending power. Thank you.
