My friend Jacki is becoming a CVS expert! For the past two weeks, she has followed Addicted to Saving’s Weekly post CVS Scenarios. Jacki broke up everything pictured above into two transactions and using manufacturer coupons plus Extra Care Bucks, she was to purchase everything in the picture above for a total of $2.12 out of pocket! (That includes tax!) I wanted to post this picture to inspire you and show you just how easy it is to score lots of items for free or next to free each week at your local drugstore. AND – Jacki also earned $1.00 ECB to use on a future purchase!

Photo Show and Tell – Publix 1/6/12

Anyone else happy it is Friday? We got in early Tuesday morning from spending almost a week in St Louis and it took me a couple of days to recover on lost sleep. And then today was a busy day – I was used as a hair model for the celebrity hair stylist David Evangelista this morning on Daytime. I can’t say I love what he did to my hair, but he was a lot of fun and it was a new experience for me. (A motto I gave myself last year was to never close the door on random opportunities that present themselves to me.)

So, with the lack of energy this week and with the busy day I had today, I wasn’t excited about going shopping tonight. And truthfully, I probably wouldn’t have shopped if I didn’t have to do this Photo Show & Tell. Well, for my first shopping trip since before Christmas, this is/was a pretty bad one. The sales are decent but I just didn’t have enough coupons to really get good deals. And, while I posted a ton of hot coupons on January 1st and 2nd, I was working from my inlaw’s house in St Louis so I didn’t print ANY of the coupons I posted about. 🙁 Lesson learned. Had I printed the coupons from the 1st and 2nd, I would have gotten better deals today. I’m also swimming in fresh $1.69/lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts from the Zaycon Foods deal I posted about earlier this week. So, with my stockpile and tons of meat, I don’t need that much.

Today I was able to get some fresh produce. And, I got over $25.00 worth of groceries so I was able to save $10.00 on a gas card. I was pleased about that.

On the homefront, below is an updated picture of the newest addition to our family. Louie (short for Luigi) is almost 11 weeks old. He’s a lot of fun, beyond adorable and a lot of work. Our 7 year old dog (Pacey) is starting to become accustomed to the fact that Louie is in fact staying and while the two of them are not yet buddies, I see a promising future. 🙂 (We took the picture below while I made dinner tonight. He fell asleep on his stuffed animal. Too cute.)

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!

Well – as you can see from the picture above, there wasn’t much space left on our kitchen table after today’s shopping trip! So today I sent my husband armed and dangerous to Publix. I gave him a detailed grocery list and put together the scenarios and then sent him on his way. I’m fortunate because by now, after hearing me speak at dozens of seminars, he fully understands couponing. So, when I send him out, I very seldom worry. Today he did excellent. My only complaint is that didn’t get me whole grain Ritz crackers. But if that is my only complaint, we are doing good! 🙂

We did really well today – total spent was $28.97 on everything above 🙂 I was especially excited about the Zephyrhills Sparkling water deal. I love sparkling water and would drink that any day over soda or juice. So to get 12 bottles for free was an awesome blessing! In my notes below, I also give you a different scenario for Zephyrhills. We got our bottles for free but not with much overage. If you would prefer the overage, see my note below.

Well, it has been a long week for us! I found this week to be a slow week at Publix, but despite that, I certainly seemed to have bought a lot! I used one $5.00 off $30.00 Publix coupon, one Free $10.00 Target Gift Card when you spend $50+ AND a $10.00 off $100.00 American Express Gift Card when you buy $25.00+ in groceries. SO, I had to spend $105.00 worth of groceries before coupons which was a very difficult feat this week. Fortunately, I still had six $5.00 off Bengay coupons and the Bengay was on sale for $5.99. So, I was able to add $35.94 worth of groceries just by getting the Bengay. (And, I will put it to good use as I’m sidelined with an injury right now. That is another story though. sigh.) I’m still loving the zucchini and squash sales! And, I meant to buy a cantaloupe but forgot (it is on sale 2/$4.00 which is a great price). **I didn’t include the AMEX gift card in my final totals since I look at it basically as a gift card to put towards future grocery shopping trips 🙂 The AMEX deal really isn’t that good when you factor in the activation fee.

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!

From the comments that many of you were making this week, I don’t know how many of you will actually be shopping? This week just wasn’t the greatest in terms of sales and coupons at Publix. That said, since I took last week off of a Photo Show and Tell (Thanksgiving and Black Friday constitute as good excuses!), I wanted to make sure and give it a good try today and get my Publix run up for you all. There were a couple of highlights to mention, including the $1.30/box Golden Grahams (unfortunately the print limit may be reached on that item), the $0.14 Muir Glen Pasta Sauce (print limit may also be reached on this), and can I admit to you I’m excited to try the Chung’s Egg Rolls, which were only $1.10? 😉 My husband has this weird thing where he likes potato chips in the middle of our long runs (he’s training with me for my marathon), so the FREE Kettle chips were a nice splurge (for him, that is).

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!

Photo Show and Tell – Publix 11/18/11

Well… I don’t have many words for this past week. It was a great week in that I had three speaking engagements and was able to speak to and with over 150 people. It was bad because from Tuesday through today there have been website gliches that have robbed me of sleep and have taken me away from posting like I normally do. I’ve learned a lot this week though and I’ve found myself constantly reminding myself that it could always be worse. So – for those of you who have been patient with me this week as I’ve missed deals, missed matchups, not responded to emails, etc, thank you for your patience. I am hoping that starting this upcoming week, everything will go back to normal. They better because I’m looking forward to posting hundreds of deals on Black Friday and Cyber Monday! So, get excited – if you decide you want to buy your Christmas presents online this year, I’ll be throwing lots of time sensitive deals your way next weekend!

Now – to Publix. This is an AWESOME week to shop at Publix. As you can see from the picture above, I bought A TON of food. So much that when they bagged my groceries, the bagger brought a second cart to load all of my stuff. (Love it when that happens ;)) I took advantage of a ton of amazing deals but also of a lot of the great produce deals available this week. I received the $5.00 Publix Gift Card from the Kellogg’s Mail in Rebate this past summer so I used that. And, I used one of the free $25.00 American Express gift cards I received from the freebie I posted about HERE. So, after coupons and the two free gift cards, I spent $9.57. Not too shabby! That is on $207 worth of groceries! LOVE it!

**Update – I did receive a comment on Facebook regarding the fact that I used the $25 American Express gift card at a large grocery store versus a small chain. Let me address that. I used it because when I posted about receiving my cards in the mail (earlier this week), I took a picture of the cards and didn’t think about covering the gift cards # on it. I received two anonymous emails about this and I was concerned the cards had already been used by a reader.. So, I used it today because I wanted to use it asap. I guess if I really think about it, I am a small business and so while I didn’t put it towards another business, I did help my business by lowering my out of pocket expenses for this week 😉

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!

Today was a great Publix shopping day! If you are noticing that my photo is lacking fresh produce, you are right! I received a delivery from Tampa Bay Organics using the Groupon certificate I posted about in June. So, I have plenty of produce in my fridge to last the next week. Tonight I actually sent my hubby to do my shopping for me. This was a busy week and next week is 100% busier so I spent some of today preparing for my week ahead. I sent hubby with a detailed grocery list though and he did a great job! Especially considering the fact that I didn’t have a ton on my list. I read many of your comments that you were disappointed you didn’t have all of the coupons I listed in my matchups. If it makes you feel any better, I was missing many of the coupons as well 🙁 My store is finally carrying Dr Pepper Ten so I was extremely excited to get five bottles free! I still have a few more coupons to use so hopefully my store will restock their shelves before the coupons expire!

This was not one of the best sales weeks at Publix but I was able to do a decent job. I really needed to get a bit of produce so that brought my out of pocket costs up. And, I bought a package of fresh boneless, skinless chicken breasts which as many of you know, I don’t need (since I have 65+ pounds frozen away in my freezer). But, I had a $1.00 off Publix chicken coupon that an awesome reader sent me. And, the chicken had a $1.00 off Shake ‘n Bake & Chicken peelie on it so I was able to get a box of Shake ‘n Bake as well. My favorite deal of the night was by far the Swanson Chicken Broth. I use this on a weekly basis in soups, pastas and more so I’m excited to have been able to buy 8 boxes. I just wish I had more coupons to buy more! 🙂 I did mistakingly buy the wrong Vlasic pickles that were not included in the sale.. Such a bummer. And, no, I probably will not return them. I did, however, end up spending more out of pocket than I should have since I screwed up.

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!
