Happy Friday!  I hope all of you had a great week this week!  I am back in the swing of life now that the holidays are over.  I don’t know about you but I am very excited about this week’s Jennie-O Turkey Bacon deal!  Or maybe I should say that my hubby is one HAPPY camper!  He is a huge fan of bacon and I am a huge fan of him eating turkey bacon that cost less than $0.50 per package!  This week’s Publix sale was not amazing, but I was able to save 79% on everything pictured above!  AND, I used the $10 off $50 Sweetbay Supermarket coupon and our cashier took off $10.00 and gave us a $10.00 Publix Gift card to use next time!  What an awesome coupon that is!

How did you do this week? I would love to hear!

Happy New Year’s!  I hope all of you had a safe and happy Christmas & New Year’s!  My hubby and I spent a week in St Louis at my in-law’s house.  We had a great time hanging with family.  I carried on the second annual tradition of bringing a jig-saw puzzle.  My problem is that when it is time to order a puzzle, I don’t want to order an easy one.  So, I ordered a 2,000 piece puzzle of a city in Italy that I dream of visiting someday.  Even with the 6 adults that were working on the puzzle intermittently throughout the days, we didn’t complete much more than what you see below.  I guess next year, I will order either 1,500 piece puzzles or a larger puzzle that doesn’t consist of so many like colors (at least 50% of it was water and rocks).

Besides the highlight of hanging with family, I was also able to witness a treat that I haven’t seen in a while. SNOW.  Being in St Louis made me realize that I don’t miss cold temperatures or gray days AT ALL.  But I do sort of miss the first snow when you can watch the snowflakes lazily falling and slowly gathering on the ground to form a perfect carpet of white.  It snowed on the last two days we were there.  It was the perfect ending of the trip.  (I’m not going to lie – arriving home to temperatures of 70 degrees and perfectly sunny skies made me tell my hubby that I think I take for granted the winters we have here.  They are heavenly.)

But back to my Photo Show & Tell.  😉  I didn’t purchase a lot this week.  You all know this already, but hubby and I joined a coop and every week we get a bucket full of fruits and veggies.  That combined with the meats we have frozen away, I didn’t need much and I didn’t find this week’s sales to be that amazing.  I was very excited about getting Crunchmaster Gluten Free Crackers for $0.60 each and I was also excited about getting Frosted Flakes for hubby at $0.82 a box after factoring in the $1.25 cash back from Ibotta .

How did you do this week? I would love to hear!

This was a great week to go shopping!  Publix’s ad is short in that it ends soon, but it is jam packed with great deals.  And, there are lots of coupons available right now to really help you get the biggest bang for your buck!  I had a pile of FREE coupons that expire this 12/31/12 so I used them today.  Hubby and I went shopping together and we did really well.  We did two transactions and after sales and coupons, we spent just $10.10 on everything pictured above!

How did you do this week? I would love to hear!
