How did you do grocery shopping this week? Or maybe I should ask, did you go grocery shopping this week? I am SO behind on life. I always am this time of the year. Blogging kind of overtakes everything and if my mom wasn’t cooking us a meal every couple of nights, we would be living on frozen food and random dinner concoctions like cheese, pear and Ritz crackers. (My son isn’t a huge fan of most dinners, but he LOVES the random concoctions I throw together – they are perfect for toddlers! :)) This is just a busy work season and very very soon my life will slow down and go back to normal! I should add that a few days ago, I did go to Publix and stocked up on necessities like milk, some fruits, veggies and yogurt. I didn’t save that receipt but my guesstimate would be that I spent around $35.00. And I only used one coupon – the $5 off $40 Publix coupon. 🙂 So, keep that in mind when you see what I bought tonight at Publix! Also, Bonefish Grill lovers, don’t miss my awesome giveaway going on! Enter to win one of six $50 Bonefish Grill Gift Cards! I’m also giving away a Fire 7″ so make sure you enter that giveaway as well. 🙂
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 Fresh. **Right now Zaycon Fresh is taking reservations for their upcoming $3.79/lb Bacon, $1.69/lb Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breast, Fresh Steak and more!

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..
