Did you all have a good week? Originally I thought I was going to have a nice, relaxing week filled with posting deals on Addicted to Saving, spending time with my dogs, going on runs, and cooking new meals. Well, let’s just say that I think I had one relaxing day and that was Monday. Every other day has been filled with appointments, important phone calls, decision making, working on adoption stuff and then today hubby and I were filmed on Daytime TV to talk about adoption. Speaking of adoption, if you haven’t checked out our one week old adoption blog, it is Addicted to Adoption. Oh – and I’m also in the midst of doing an organizational overhaul to my kitchen. My kitchen has a good amount of cabinet space but after being in this house for six years, we have accumulated a lot of stuff! So – I have purchased some furniture to act as extra storage for tupperware, kitchen gadgets, vitacost vitamins, etc. My kitchen is still a work in progress and until it is organized, I don’t think I will feel relaxed in my kitchen. (I hate cooking in a disheveled kitchen!)
Today’s Publix run was not a neccesary grocery trip. Earlier this week we bought more produce so today, what we really needed was milk and Half & Half. Despite having a full stockpile, there were some great deals and some great freebies today that I couldn’t overlook! We don’t drink much soda in this house (about one bottle a month), so the soda you see will be given away. Same for most of the Eggo pancakes.
How did you do this week shopping? I hope you were able to spend less and save more than I did! Please leave a comment letting everyone know how you did!

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 we find the Ball Park coupon? Your list shows it doesn’t come out until tomorrow?
I have the same problem — if I see a great deal, I buy first and find something to do with it/someone to give it to later. 😀
Where’d you find the Starbucks Refreshers? I’ve looked in two stores. Thanks!
Hi Lisa,
They were actually sitting in a stand-alone bin in the soda/drinks aisle. I didn’t see them anywhere else though, so keep your eyes peeled.
great deals this week i used the winnidixie coupo at publis and 50 cent coupon for dawn detergent and one dollar off lean cusuine and the hunts free coupon and one dollar off publix ice cream but did not see the frozen coupon
What does NLA stand for on the Eggo Waffles coupon? I can’t figure it out!!
Carrie,
NLA = No Longer Available (check your binders, b/c maybe you printed it at one point!) 🙂
Had an amazing trip to Publix, thanks for your posts.. I have posted a link to my blog above…
In my store, they were in a stand alone shelf near the Greenwise section. Bizarre location for these drinks!
Saved 65% today! I think that for us, this may be about as high of a % as I can manage. We’ll see. I’m looking forward to the next ad week. I’ve got a big list!
