I knew today’s shopping trip would be both small and fun. There were some deals I was really excited about (free Purell, cheap Powerade, cheap bath tissue and cheap tampons and pads). My grocery cart ended up being full which I didn’t expect (it was because of the four Powerade packs). I saved even more money than I expected (78.8%) and spent pretty much what I wanted to although I have been wanting to spend under $20 each week which just isn’t happening. Today was also coop pickup day so I didn’t have to buy any produce since I have a bin full of about 25 lbs of fruits and veggies sitting on my counter!
If you shop at a Publix that accepts Winn Dixie coupons, you might notice that every week I use a $5.00 off $30.00 Winn Dixie Enjoy the City coupon while grocery shopping. Right now Enjoy the City coupon books are on sale for as low as $1.00 each! When I factor the cost of the coupon book with the $20.00 worth of coupons in it, each book is a $19.00 MONEYMAKER! Go HERE to see the Enjoy the City deal.
Please remember that you do not see any chicken or ground beef purchased because we have stocked up on boneless, skinless chicken breasts and ground beef with Zaycon Foods. **Right now Zaycon Foods is taking reservations for their upcoming Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breast Events and Lean Ground Beef Events!

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..
