Publix Photo Show & Tell: Halloween Candy, FREE Nestle Toll House Cookie Dough, Cascadian Farm Veggies and More

Another week has come and gone. Time flies so quickly! Today’s Publix shopping trip I had one goal in mind and that was to stock up on candy. I like to have 6-8 bags of candy for our trick-or-treaters so after tonight I am just 2 bags away from my goal!  You will notice that I did not purchase any produce or fresh meats.  I just joined a veggie co-op and starting next week, I will begin picking up my weekly share of produce.  The co-op is not cheap at all but since I’m really trying to add more fresh veggies into my diet and since I love to experiment with new foods, I think it will be worth the extra expense.  So, unless I am in dire need of produce or unless there is an awesome sale, I will be living off of the produce I get each week.  And, most of you know this already, but if you are new to Addicted to Saving, you will very seldom see me purchase fresh meats because I have a freezer full of frozen boneless, skinless chicken breasts as well as lean ground beef courtesy of Zaycon Foods.  If you are new to Zaycon Foods, read my post HERE to learn how to get rock-bottom prices on high quality meats.

This week I did pretty good.  I saved 77% and was able to get organic frozen veggies (I LOVE Cascadian Farms veggies), Cabot cheddar cheese, free Toll House cookies and much more.  How did you do this week?  I would love to hear!
