Today’s shopping trip was a quick shopping trip! We were able to do really well by breaking our transaction into two. We used one $5/$30 Winn Dixie coupon on my transaction and hubby used the $5/$25 Save-a-Lot coupon on his transaction. Gotta love Publix! We did really well on the Country Crock, Kashi Steamed Meals (who says you can’t save on organic food??), Fresh Express Salad and Kraft Homestyle Mac & Cheese.
I also received a great haul at this week’s fruit & veggie coop. I haven’t posted this on Addicted to Saving yet but starting this upcoming week, I’m going to try readjusting my diet to see if it will eliminate (or at least ease) some of the health conditions I have. I’ve done so much research the past month and have really started to understand how foods impact your body both positively and negatively. So, I am going on the Paleo Diet as there have been countless people with my conditions who have found that this diet helped them drastically. So the coop is really important to me. It is a way that I can save a ton of money on fresh produce and at the same time keep my fridge stocked on foods that are Paleo friendly. If you live in Tampa Bay and would like to learn about this coop, go HERE. If you sign up to be on their mailing list, they will let you know if/when they open a pick-up location in your city or a nearby city to you!
How did you do this week? I would love to hear!

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..
I don’t know if you are aware but you can print the First Taste coupons twice. I just logged in to my account and I don’t see any where on the offer where it says once per customer/member (and I’ve honestly never paid attention before lol). I believe this is how I usually do it: click on the “print coupon” button for the bricks part to come up. Once it does, instead of just clicking the print button, right click on the “print” link and select “Open link in new tab”. Once you do that and it starts printing, you should be able to proceed like you normally would to print two coupons.
Excellent tip Teresa! I love it!
Thanks Teresa this worked!!
