I had a great day at Publix today! I didn’t go into the store needing anything in particular, but there were some great deals that I didn’t want to miss out on. I spent $5.67 on everything you see in the picture above! I saved $79.09 on $84.76 worth of groceries which is 93% savings! This week, I’m going to show you each item I bought and the specific coupons I used. That way you can print out the necessary online coupons and/or cut the coupons from prior Sunday inserts.

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..
That is AMAZING!!! I wish I had a $5 off $30 coupon. I never can find those. Impressive work though!
Hi Jen! I just posted a new blog giving the link to sign up for the Winn Dixie mailer coupons. Sign up and you will get $5 off of $30 coupons too! Also – if you shop at Winn Dixie, they will often print out valuable coupons on your receipt. These coupons can be used at Winn Dixie as well as Publix!
I’m still learning the ropes and have a quick question….how does your store take 2 coupons for products when it is buy one get one free? When I’ve tried, they tell me the second product doesn’t ring up, so the coupon won’t work? Is it just specific stores??? Any advice?
Hi Rachel! Most Publix stores (as well as Walgreens, CVS, Winn Dixie and Target) in Florida allow two coupons for B1G1 items. However, I do know that other states and even some specific stores have different policies. What store are you shopping at and where are you located?
Wow!!! What a great trip! I went to Publix tonight…it was one of the highlights of my week. LOL! I got a few of the same deals as you and of course the Ritz crackers ($0.87)!!!
The sales are great this week! 🙂 I have a HUGE stash of Ritz crackers so I ignored them even though it was painful. Ha. Great job to you too!
what zip code did you use to get the benefiber coupons? the link is just taking me to coupons.com and i’ve tried several different zips but no luck…
I am not sure of the zipcode, but after checking numberous codes, I’m thinking the Benefiber coupons are no longer online. Bummer. If I see them again, I will let you know!
My Publix decided on my 3 trip couponing that they no longer took Winn Dixie, Food Lion, CVS, Rite Aid or Harvey Coupons, only Kroger and Target. I was very disappointed. I’m going to shop a different Publix. Otherwise, instead of shopping Publix and CVS I will be stopping at Sams and Walmart. I was really trying to keep shopping to 2 trips per week.
Hi Lynette – I understand your frustration. My Publix only accepts Winn Dixie coupons… And, I’m not sure what state you live in, but here in Florida, our coupons don’t double either… We have many roadblocks, but fortunately, it’s still possible to save big!
That is really fantastic, and I love how you used your coupons to actually buy fresh produce. Great work, you gave me some inspiration for my grocery list this week. Thank you!
