We have had a busy week this week. We are starting to get ready to go all out with Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales (I work more over Black Friday and Cyber Monday than I do in 4 days. Sheer craziness and while I love it, we are trying to get everything in order now!) I also had a lot of fun putting together today’s grocery list. I knew that I would come out of pocket more than usual. But I also knew that I would be getting a ton of food to stockpile and/or give-away. It is an amazing week to shop at Publix. This week Publix has lots of items that you can buy for yourself and also I would recommend you think about buying items to donate. Think ahead towards the holidays and whatever items you need for meals or for desserts, stockpile them now when they are priced this low.
I also received another great haul from this week’s fruit & veggie coop although I forgot to take a picture. 🙁 But we have enough produce to last a week and that is important for me since I’m currently on the Paleo diet.. If you live in Tampa Bay and would like to learn about this coop, go HERE.
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..
Where did you find the sambazon juice?
I’ve looked everywhere in my store and can’t find them.
If I’m not mistaken, it’s usually in the produce department with the OJ and Bolthouse Farms drinks oh and the bagged salads.
Hi Nikki! The Sambazon (at my Publix at least) is next to the Orange Juice in the refrigerated juice section.
Really nice shopping… i love it when we can get some deals on cheese!
Dont know if you noticed you wrote you used the green giants veggie steamer coupon on the tombstone pizza, I know you didnt physically do it but i know how some people would view it, just a heads up
Great catch Jennipher! I used the $0.75/1Tombstone Pizza coupon from Facebook but apparently I didn’t copy and paste the coupon correctly to my post! I will update my post. Thanks again 🙂
I had a great shopping trip at Publix this week. I wish I knew how to get the (Percentage Saved) can anyone help me.
Grand Total Spent (119.26) ( 1.74 was tax)
Savings Summary
Vendor Coupon ($52.50)
Multiplied Coupon ($10.50)
Special Price Savings ($152.49)
Total Savings ($215.49)
So how did I do? Let me know My Email ([email protected])
Thanks
Subtract your total before savings from your total paid after savings to get total savings, which you already have calculated, but for future reference (334.75-119.26=215.49) then divide by the total before savings and multiply by 100(215.49/334.75=.6437×100=64.37%). Ya did good in my opinion!
