Today’s Show and Tell consists of items that are sometimes hard to get a great deal on. The dreaded paper products and diapers! So while I had to spend more than $12 this week, I thought it might be fun to show you how I saved a bundle this morning on those items and more!
Liza will be back to her regular posting on Wednesday of next week. In the meantime, I will do my best to keep you up to date on the latest deals and coupons. 🙂
The items I purchased today coincide with this week’s Publix Weekly ad. To see this week’s ad & coupon matchups, go HERE.
If you are new to saving money at Publix, read my Intro to Publix post!
**Disclaimer**
1) My Publix allows us to use more than one of the same Publix store coupon and/or competitor coupon as long as I use one store or competitor coupon per item. 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 usually 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..
My publix said because the airwick was only 5.99 i could only use either the4.00 coupon or the 3.00 i was in a rush or i would have called over a manager still got it for 2.00 but thats not the point…
per publix coupon policy you may use (1) manufacturer coupon AND (1) store coupon (publix or competitor)per item: Airwick is $5.99 minus $4/1 mq + $3 publix yellow spring into savings flyer= $1.01 in OVERAGE
Carol.. They just have to adjust their publix Q down to get you the item for free. Some stores allow overage and some do not! I would take your receipt back and tell them what happened!
Are you able to do the link ups?
Sorry Teresa, they will be back when Liza returns next week. Stay tuned 🙂
You can get them from iheartpublix.com in the meantime 😉
hi!
Where can i find the Publix Bundle of Savings Booklet?
I found mine at the store in a display up front.
Thank you. My favorite part on your blog is the photo match up.
I love seeing the weekly shopping trips! And, I love that we can all totally empathize with you on your need for coffee filters. FULL PRICE!?!?!?!? NOOOOOOOOOOO! 🙂
It was painful 🙂 But a girl needs her coffee! LOL
I buy mine at the dollar store.. Same amount and so far have not noticed a difference in quality… only a $1!!!
Can anyone help me…I can’t seem to get an answer about the W/D printable coupon…mine prints at about 1 1/2 inch by 2 inch…I am afraid my store will think I’m fooling them…does anyone else’s print this small?
Hi Jillian, I think everyone’s is printing that small. I printed the entire page because it shows it is on Winn Dixie’s site as part of the circular. I have used several times the past two weeks and not one cashier has questioned me. I haven’t heard of anyone else having a problem either. I know what you mean though. I wish it would print larger. Personally, I haven’t figured out how to. Maybe someone else has a tip. But it shouldn’t be a problem. – Kelly
I have used it probably 4 times now and no problem. I print the whole page as well.. Its tiny BUT I took it straight to customer service and they said yes they take it! Just ask you CS desk… and I am sure you will get the same answer as the rest of us!! 80)
Goldfish coupons new on Coupons.com
My Publix had Kozy Shack bread pudding 4 packs on sale for $1.50 (reg $2.99) and $1/1 blinkies for a final price of $.50 each. They had apple, peach and cinnamon raison – all are yummy!
