What a week! As the holidays are getting closer, I’m finding that blogging on Addicted to Saving has gotten busier and busier. Every minute away from Asher when he is either napping or with daddy is spent blogging. It’s fun, but I am going to admit, extremely tiring and by the end of the week, I’m exhausted! Tonight Asher was tired and a bit cranky (as was mommy 😉 ) so we made our Publix shopping trip a family affair and hubby came along. Once we all got to Publix, our crankiness turned to happiness. (Asher loves the bright lights and busyness of Publix.) We had a great time at Publix and took advantage of some fun sales (including FREE chocolate bars)!
If you missed my non-couponing Photo Show & Tell that I posted earlier in the week, go HERE to check it out. I want you to see it because I want you to know 1) I do shop without coupons from time to time and 2) It is OKAY to shop without coupons!
As a reminder, you do not see much produce in today’s shopping trip because hubby and I belong to a weekly coop. So, every week, we get a bin full of around 40 lbs of fruits and veggies. We also have stocked up on boneless, skinless chicken breasts and ground beef with Zaycon Foods. **Right now Zaycon Foods is taking reservations for their upcoming $3.49/lb Lean Ground Beef (93/7) Event!

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..
Don’t know if you know this… Winn Dixie offers a Baby Club that you can sign up for and sends fabulous coupons for baby stuff as well as meat, snacks, etc.
we’ve been looking for a co-op. is there any you recommend?
Awesome job, as usual 🙂 I have a question for you: do you have to have the cashier scan/input the $5 off $30 Winn Dixie Enjoy the City Coupon before any other coupons? Just asking, because if so then I’ll wait to input my phone number for the digital coupons until after that one goes through, and then hand over my paper Q’s, right?
