I had a great day at Publix today. I wasn’t totally overwhelmed with happiness over this week’s sales ad and yet looking at the picture above, I see that I actually did a pretty good job. I did make one fatal error. Well, truthfully, I almost made two, but I caught the first error while shopping (I almost bought two Cole’s garlic bread with only one store and one manufacturer coupon – when I realized I needed two manufacturer coupons I put the garlic bread back. :)) The second error, however, was a pretty big one. If you look at my picture above, you may be able to see that above the Jimmy Dean sausage is three Old Orchard frozen juice containers (they have green lids). On the right of those three containers, you may notice a Welch’s frozen juice container with the yellow lid. What did this error mean? This error meant that I paid for two Old Orchard juice and only got one free AND I paid in full for a Welch’s juice. UGH. Not a big deal in the scheme of life and not a big enough error for me to trek back to Publix. Lesson learned that I have to really look at each and every item I put in my grocery cart. My fatal flaw cost me an extra $2.19. When all is said and done, I’m pretty pleased with my trip. I also went to Winn Dixie after Publix and bought some produce since they have good produce sales this week (go HERE and HERE to see their ad).
The items I purchased today coincide with this week’s Publix Weekly ad. To see this week’s ad & coupon matchups, go 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..
