Happy Friday! I hope you all have had a great week! This was a busy and yet very productive week for me and I barely eeked in a Publix grocery trip before Publix closed tonight! I wasn’t overly impressed with this week’s sales so I didn’t buy too much. But, I did splurge on Tilapia and I’m super excited to make it! I was also shocked to see that my store had Tylenol Precise in stock so I was happy to get two boxes for free! 🙂 I also managed to get the Sargento cheese for $0.50 each! Here is how: I used two $1.00/1 Sargento Publix Store coupons (there is no limits on the coupon stating one per transaction) and I used one $1.00 off ANY brand 1 lb shredded, cubed or brick cheese manufacturer coupon. This is a manufacturer coupon that states valid in Florida. Since two Sargento 8 oz bags equal one pound, I was able to use one coupon per two bags of cheese. (I was also allowed to use this on the Cheddar Cheese even though it was an ounce short.) I asked customer service if I could do this transaction prior to doing it. I recommend you do the same.
The items I purchased today coincide with this week’s Publix Weekly ad. To see this week’s ad & coupon matchups, go HERE.

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..
Good Job!!
i had the cheese coupons but i forgot them at home do u think if i go w. the receipt and the coupons they’ll reinburse me?
Liz, I forget my coupons all the time. I just bring them back with my receipt and they give me the cash 🙂
I had a Ken’s BOGO free coupon and it made my Ken’s purchase FREE! yay!
I waited all day and no produce coupons for me after sharing on yahoo. 🙁 I did get an email about sharing but no attachment or coupon. I don’t know what to do next. I heard it works quickly if you share on fb but idk if I can go back and share now. What is the sender’s name?
Just got back from my Publix trip. A friend and myself went and split the bill. We spent $71.39 and saved $173.09. The Publix that we went to were all out of the heat patches. Also, if you go on Albertson’s website you can get a $5.00 0f $25.00 coupon. The publix that we went to accepted them. I am am teaching her how coupons work. This was her 1st time. We had people come up and watch the transactions and could not believe their eyes.
I spent 103.00 (4 boys at home in the summertime!) and I saved 187.00. This trip also qualified for the $20 Publix gift card. Liza, I could NEVER get it done without AtS’s help!! Thank you Thank you Thank you!! =)
On the cheese question: My guess would be they should because if you return them they have to damage them out as they do with all frozen and refridgerated items. If you call and ask, or find out let us know out of curiosity.
i don’t understand how you were able to use the $1 off any 1lb cheese coupon if you got small cheese packages?
I got 6 V8 splash ( bogo + coupon),3 soft soaps (coupon was on larger softsoap and i was able to use it on the hand soap which was already on sale). quick cook ronzoni pasta (bogo + 2 .55cent coupon made it .07 cents for two!) Bayer asprin (publix plus mc = free plus overage), and i got precise pain cream free.My bill after coupons was 10.00!
I got 3 bottles of wisk (raincheck!!!), 4 dial body washes, 2 boxes of captain crunch, 2 bags if Sargento shredded cheese (thanks), Bayer aspirin (+overage), 2 Hershey’s syrup, 5 cans of ChefBoy (1 free publix bag), Turkey Bacon, 2 boxes of quick cook pasta, 2 knorr rice sides, 1 Morton Season all, turkey gravy, deli ham, and fresh kiwi, bananas and grapes all for $14.75 with a savings of $70.15!!! Thanks for all your help!!!
