Below are this week’s Publix matchups for the ad beginning on Thursday, May 28th or Wednesday, May 2\th (depending on where you live). Remember that printable coupons often disappear quickly so if you do not see it, that means it has reached its limit. Also – some coupons in Sunday newspaper inserts are regional so not everyone will have the same coupon. Please leave a comment if you see any missing coupons, unadvertised deals or typos!
To access the printable list, simply click the items on the grocery list that you want to purchase. They will be automatically added to the printable list (seen on the bottom right of your screen).
Matchup Notes for Publix Shoppers:
1) The matchups below show the price PER item on BOGO sales. When Publix has a Buy One Get One Sale, in order for Floridians to receive the second item free, we have to buy both items. So for the scenarios below, if you live in the land of true BOGOs, you will need to buy two items. If you live in an area where BOGOs are actually 50% off sales, you will just need to purchase one item in order to get it 50% off.
2) Publix accepts competitor coupons and allows for one competitor and one manufacturer coupon on one item. Ask your Publix who they consider as competitors.
3) If you live in Florida, our sales cycle starts on Thursdays.
4) Some coupons are regional and some coupons are no longer available to print online. Feel free to leave a comment if you find a coupon that is no longer available.

**Right now we can save $30 on the All-new Kindle with built in front-light! It’s normally priced at $89.99 but right now is $59.99. Head HERE. *prices subject to change.
I love to read. I don’t read as often as I would like and it takes me forever to finish a book, but I love to read. I also feel it’s important to state that I prefer reading actual books that I can hold, smell and feel. However, at this stage of my life, I’ve learned that reading on my Kindle reader is as lot more convenient. A few years ago I discovered Overdrive. Since then, I’ve thought that everyone knows about Overdrive but I find that I’m frequently sharing how awesome it is with friends and family who have never heard of it! Overdrive is an online library that is connected with your library card. If you have a library card and a tablet to read on (I have a Kindle), you can use Overdrive for free and read hundreds of thousands of books for free! The books available to read and audiobooks available on Overdrive are the latest books that are released, top sellers as well as countless of older popular books. To get started and connect your library card to Overdrive, head HERE and follow the steps listed.
Once you have created an Overdrive account and connect it to your Kindle, Nook, apple device, etc, you will want to start borrowing books. Each book you can borrow for 2 weeks. After the 2 weeks, if there is not a wait list waiting for your book, you will have the option to extend your borrow period for another 2 weeks. Keep reading below though because I’ve found a workaround for people like me who need more than 2 weeks to finish a book!
I use a Kindle Reader much like this one. My Kindle is a few years old so I don’t have the backlight (I wish it did) but it works perfectly for Overdrive and I use it all the time. It also holds its battery life for very long so I don’t have to constantly charge it. I think I currently have 30 books downloaded on it and I could probably download another 100+ books on it. The memory is awesome.
If there is a book that you want to read that already has a wait list, you can put it “On Hold”. Overdrive will keep you updated as to how long you should have to wait to be able to borrow the book. You are able to Hold (reserve) 7 ebooks/audiobooks at a time. You are able to borrow 10 eBooks/audiobooks at a time. If you are looking for book ideas, below are some books I’ve read during the past year. Some of the books are heavy while others are lighter.
All You Can Ever Know: A Memoir by Nicole Chung
Something in the Water by Catherine Steadman
The Other Woman by Sandie Jones
Before We Were Yours by Lisa Wingale
An American Marriage by Tayari Jones
Into the Water by Paula Hawkins
The Great Alone by Kristin Hannah
Where the Crawdads Sing by Delia Owens
Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine by Gail Honeyman
Behold the Dreamers by Imbolo Mbue
The Way Life Should Be by Christina Baker Kline
Orphan Train by Christina Baker Kline
We Were Liars by e. Lockhart
Into the Water by Paula Hawkins
Then She Was Gone by Lisa Jewell
Here’s how I recommend you use your tablet. If you have a tablet that you use only for reading eBooks like me, borrow 10 books on your Overdrive account. Once you have downloaded the 10 books (if you have a Kindle, you will download them through your Amazon account – it’s entirely free but you will need Amazon to get the book onto your Kindle), put your tablet on airplane mode. This will make it so that your tablet does not check for updates EVER until you take your tablet off airplane mode. This will also allow you to TAKE AS LONG AS YOU NEED to read your books. If your tablet is on regular mode, after two weeks, the book will disappear so you have to be very diligent to make sure you finish it in time (especially if there is a wait list on the book since you won’t be able to renew it). What I love is that there are no late fees. Once your two weeks are over, the book just disappears. **unless you keep your tablet on airplane mode!
So, I like to borrow 10 books, download them on my Kindle, put my tablet on airplane mode and then read all of the books before downloading more. Meanwhile, I will use my Overdrive account to put popular books on Hold. The most popular books on Overdrive have wait lists of 6+ months. So I will make sure that my account has all of my holds filled while I’m reading the previously downloaded books that I have on my tablet. If I find that I need more time to read my books before borrowing the books on hold, I can extend the hold up to 180 days. I find that by the time I’m ready to download more books, all of my holds are available and I can download all of them within a couple weeks. I then start the process again. I download all of the new books, put more books on hold and start reading new books.
If you are looking for a way to read popular books for free, you need to get a library card and begin using Overdrive. It’s user friendly and an awesome way to read as many books as you want throughout the year without worrying about purchasing the book OR having to deal with late fees if you take longer than 2 weeks to read!

I am really excited about these crayons and markers. Having a multicultural family, I’ve realized the importance of having markers and crayons that match all of our unique skin colors. I’ve also realized multicultural markers, band-aids, BOOKS, MOVIES, etc etc etc are hard to find. So I’m SO excited Crayola released these crayons and markers! This Crayola Ultra Clean Washable Multicultural Markers, Broad Line, 10 Count is priced at $5.39 on Staples. Head HERE. The 8 count box of Crayola Multicultural Crayons is $1.71! Head HERE.

Thanks for coming to Addicted to Saving! Here’s a little bit about me so you can know who’s behind all these posts!
My name is Liza and I began my money-saving journey in the Spring of 2009 as a way to stretch a limited household income. I had lost my job and my hubby was self-employed. I launched Addicted to Saving in November of 2009 and it has grown by leaps and bounds. Since then, my hubby and I have struggled with the ups and downs of two failed adoptions and are now LOVING being parents to our little man Asher who we brought home from Ethiopia in August of 2013. I feel incredibly blessed to be able to help you save money. My goal is that you will have FUN and become empowered to save more and more money each week..Read More Here...
