I think I can safely say that I had my last Publix shopping trip for the year 2010. And, to commemorate this occasion, I brought A TON of coupons that I had that were expiring. If you have any FREEBIE coupons in your stash, check the expiration dates because I had a large pile expiring on 12/31. I had a great shopping trip though. I did nothing other than use my expiring coupons and stock up on Fridays appetizers. We will be away from the house for a while so I didn’t need any veggies. Also – a HUGE thanks to Katrina for posting the awesome FREE Clorox wipes deal. Those are the kind of deals that literally make my day. 🙂

If you are new to saving money at Publix, read my Intro to Publix post!
**NOTE** 1) My Publix allows us to use more than one of the same Publix store coupon and/or competitor coupon. Not all Publix locations allow this. You should ask customer service if they allow this before loading up your cart. 2) Not all Publix locations allow overage. If your Publix does not allow overage, they will adjust the value of the coupon down so that you receive the item for free.

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..
Where can I get the Coca cola open happiness booklet, and how long ago did you get the International Delight creamer blinkies? This is a great Show and Tell photo. You saved so much. I wish I had all of these coupons so I could do the same.
Thanks for the tip on checking my FREE coupons! I had a few that were also expiring on 12/31 and would have been mad at myself for not using them and letting them expire. I too had a great trip to Publix today. spent $9.26 including tax and saved $83.81 so I’m happy! Wishing you and yours nothing but good health, happiness, and peace for 2011 🙂
