After shopping at Publix last night, I really wanted to go back to stock up on Slim Fast bars. My husband was just complaining that we didn’t have any granola bars.. well.. I don’t expect to hear him complain for a long time now 🙂 I made one huge mistake this shopping venture. I thought I was getting the BeneVia free with overage. However, I mistakingly brought a $1.00/1 manufacturer coupon so coupled with the $4.00/1 store coupon, I had to actually pay $3.49 for it! UGH. Fortunately, the overage from the Bayer saved me a bit. However, if I hadn’t made the mistake, I was expecting to come out of pocket under $1.00 and I was going to save my $2.00/$20.00 store coupon… Oh well. I spent $2.36 on everything you see above and saved $41.18.
Here’s the rundown for today’s Publix stop:
1 Benevia Juice priced at $8.49 each Minus one $1.00/1 printable manufacturer coupons Minus one $4.00/1 Publix store coupon from Green Advantage flyer Total: $3.49 (DARN MY MISTAKE!) 7 Slim Fast 6pk 100 Calorie Bars on sale for $2.50 Minus one $1.25/1 manufacturer from All You Magazine Minus one $1.00/1 Publix store coupons from Green Advantage flyer Total: $1.75!! 2 Bayer Low Dose 32 ct Pain Relievers priced at $2.47 each Minus two $1.00/1 manufacturer coupons from 10/25 RP and 1/3/10 SS Minus one $5.00/2 Publix store coupon from Green Advantage flyer Total: FREE plus $2.06 OVERAGE!! 2 Yakisoba Noodles priced at $0.79 each Minus two $.50/1 manufacturer coupons from 10/18 SS or 1/3/10 SS Total: $0.58!

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..
