Happy Friday! This weekend is Back to School Tax Free Weekend! Are you going school shopping this weekend? Since Asher isn’t school-age yet, we won’t be doing any major shopping. We did go to Publix though and we did get a lot of food for just $28.84! I forgot two very important coupons on my trip. I meant to bring the $2/$2 Publix produce coupon and also the $5/$20 Target Meat coupon. But I forgot them at home. Regardless, we were able to do really well – especially factoring in the fact that we got organic milk, Half & Half and a dozen eggs! How did you do this week? I would love to hear!
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..
there’s also Upromise on Trix, Cinnamon toast crunch, cheerios…they probably just added them…
