I can’t believe a year has passed since last year’s Publix Italian Days sale! I must admit that this year’s sale isn’t quite as impressive as last year’s. Last year Publix gave us slightly better coupons. Despite this, you can still get great deals at Publix right now! I had fun putting together my scenarios for today’s shopping trip – and yes – you will see that despite the stockpile I currently have of canned beans, I bought more today. 😉 I can’t wait to hear how all of you did – please leave me comment and let me know!
**P.S. If you are shopping at Publix Saturday 2/18 or Sunday 2/19 read my post HERE to HEREto print two sets of awesome $5/5 Kellogg’s cereal coupon that will go perfectly with the 50% off sale!!

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..
Nice job, just curious why you did not use the $1.00/2 Kraft cheese Target Coupons?
Susan,
I printed those when they were available but I’m sorry to say, I don’t know where they went??? Eeek! They are not there for me now. 🙁
There is a $5 off $30 publix coupon in todays tbt (the free publication)
Wow you are lucky that your publix will let you use both a $ off Publix coupon and another stores $ off coupon. Example the publix 5.00/30.00 and the winn dixie. Ours will not allow it. 🙁
my shopping trip:
1 jumbo pk pull ups, 18 cans progresso soup, 10 cans green giant veggies, 6 bxs quaker granola bars, 6 boxes fruit snacks, 2pks milk and cereal bars, 1 12pk soda, 2 lip balms, 4 pks Trix yogurts..
total before coupons.. approx: 140.00 after coupons $28.45 cents.
Pull ups are donation and my son has a camping trip coming up with his tiger scout troop that was the reason for so many snacks.
thank you for all you do for us and for keeping me motivated. 🙂
I’ve been going in and spending $30 or as close to that as possible to use the $5 off coupons and get maximum savings. I still have a few things to get but I’ve already taken advantage of the ricotta and mozzarella cheese. From previous sales I had lasagna noodles and ragu sauce so I’m going to make a few lasagnas and freeze them for nights I don’t want to cook. 🙂
I noticed you used the Publix Q on Muir Glen Tomato Sauce (8oz)…the Q stated that it must be over 14.4oz…I used it on the canned tomatoes for an ending price of .33 which is still a good deal.
Hi Arianna! I used the printable Publix Muir Glen coupon and I actually have one in front of me 🙂 It states $1.00/2 Tomato Sauce, Tomatoes, Tomato Puree, Soup, Tomato Paste, Pasta or Pizza Sauce assorted 6 to 28 oz can or jar. So the small can that I bought works with the printable since it is over 6 oz.
Thanks for clarifying so we all can take advantage of that deal 🙂 I figured the printables were the same as the in-store coupons. I will have to go back now! Thanks for all of your help!
No problem Arianna! I didn’t realize they were different either – until you pointed out the difference 🙂 Good find 🙂
Liza, Did you have a raincheck on the bogo small Hunts tomatoes (14.5 oz)? Only the large cans are bogo in the ad. I just got back from Publix and only the large cans were bogo in my store.
Hi Kathy! I didn’t have a raincheck, my store had them marked as on sale BOGO. You might want to bring two cans to your store’s customer service and see how they ring up?
I was under the weather today so I sent hubby to the store. He got 10 boxes of cereal, 8 boxes of whole grain Mueller’s pasta, 1 green pepper, and 2 canisters of Kraft parmesan cheese. The total he paid after coupons was $10.38. Now I am going to send in the upc’s for the Kellogg’s $10.00 gas card. So all of the above cost .38 cents………….I am doing the happy dance !!!!
You did amazing! I ended up spending as much as you did and yours looks like it is for an army lol. Those competitors q’s come in handy! Nice job!
I love the Italian days sales promotion and th e$5.00 off of $30.00 just makes it that much sweeter. I took my hubby with me so he was able to help with the savings. I bought $247.83 worth of grocieries for $101.90. This included 10 boxes of Kellogg’s cereal, 16 cans of progresso soup, 6 bags of Mozzarella cheese, 2 comtainers of Ricotta, 14 jars of pasta sauce, 4 jars of pizza sauce, 2 bags of pepperoni, two bags of bagels, 1 bags of onions, 2 jars applesauce, 10 cans of junts tomatos sauce, 2 cans of diced tomatoes, 2 wishbone dressings, 6 boxes of pasta(still have some from past sales, 1 gallon milk, 2 cans of bread crumbs, 2 cans of parmesan cheese, 2 jars of lawry’s seasoning, 2 bags of Tyson chicken nuggets, and 2 pillsbury pizza dough. I think I got it all. But I had a 60% savings between the two trips. Now the part I hate the most. Put it all away.
P.S. Thanks for the heads up on the cereal coupons. That was a great deal.
I had the most amazing trip today! I spent $55.67 and saved $238.54!! Some of the ladies at work turned me onto your site and I can say I am hooked! My husband told me that I need to get a working list to keep track of what we have stockpiled so that we don’t go crazy! I am so happy to be couponing!
Yeah! Great job Christina!!
Hello Just wondering where you got the Winn Dixie Coupon Booklet? I am in Hernando County and the Winn Dixie’s here never have coupon books!!! Can I order them online? Thanks!
