What a week this week!  It has been a great week but so so long!  Posting all of the Black Friday & Cyber Monday deals has been a bit time consuming.  The deals have slowed a little (although there are still some excellent ones) and I’m starting to catch my breath again!  Last week we were out of town so we skipped shopping.  Besides, we had our HUGE shopping trip two weeks ago and also three weeks ago.  So we aren’t lacking much in the food department!

As a reminder – you won’t see me purchasing me much fresh produce each week because I joined a local coop.  Also – I don’t buy a lot of fresh meat because I get my fresh ground beef & chicken from Zaycon Foods.

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

This is definitely my last shopping trip before Thanksgiving!  We are not having Thanksgiving at my house this year.  Instead we are headed to my brother’s house.  They’ve asked that I make Sweet Potato Casserole so I will bring the ingredients for it, but besides that, hubby and I will be traveling light! This week and last week’s Publix shopping trip have more than prepared me for the next few weeks.  And, I’m excited because my dining room table is getting more and more full of groceries to donate.

Also – many of you ask where I get the $5/$30 Winn Dixie Coupons.  Right now you can purchase Enjoy the City coupon books on sale.  Read my post HERE for more info.

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

We have had a busy week this week.  We are starting to get ready to go all out with Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales (I work more over Black Friday and Cyber Monday than I do in 4 days.  Sheer craziness and while I love it, we are trying to get everything in order now!)  I also had a lot of fun putting together today’s grocery list. I knew that I would come out of pocket more than usual.  But I also knew that I would be getting a ton of food to stockpile and/or give-away.  It is an amazing week to shop at Publix.  This week Publix has lots of items that you can buy for yourself and also I would recommend you think about buying items to donate. Think ahead towards the holidays and whatever items you need for meals or for desserts, stockpile them now when they are priced this low.

I also received another great haul from this week’s fruit & veggie coop although I forgot to take a picture. 🙁  But we have enough produce to last a week and that is important for me since I’m currently on the Paleo diet..  If you live in Tampa Bay and would like to learn about this coop, go HERE.  

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