Has it been a long week for anyone besides myself?  I tell you what – I am so happy that today is Friday and that the weekend is here!  Today has been a challenge for me.  I’m not going to lie – I work a lot on this website.  A lot.  But I love doing this and I love interacting with all of you so it is worth it.  But some days just drain me!  Yesterday and today were two of those days.  It seemed like every deal I posted – even with research – was gone within just a couple minutes.  Or the deal didn’t work.  Or the deal wasn’t what it seemed it would be.  Or there are coding issues on my website which cause me to spend 45 minutes trying to figure out what exactly is going on..  While I know you all appreciate my posting deals every day and I am so thankful for that, I always put a lot of pressure on myself to make sure every thing I do on Addicted to Saving is perfect.  And I’m so not perfect.  (Emphasis on the word so) And so, with a long week beginning to wind down, today I knew that I had to go to Publix.  And, as some of you might agree, I don’t think this week’s sales are anything to brag about at Publix.  So, I contemplated just skipping this week.  (We really needed only milk & eggs..)  But, my husband came to the rescue saying that I needed to post my weekly Photo Show and Tell for all of you and he went armed with coupons and my printable grocery list prepared to do battle (while I stayed home and used the elliptical ;)). 

It really is a slow week at Publix.  If you have a full stockpile, I wanted to tell you that it is okay if you take this week off at Publix.  🙂  Do not feel like you have to go shopping just because it is a new week with new sales.  Sometimes, the best thing to do is to take a break (or send your hubby as I did)!

I really hope you guys are all having a great week! Please leave a comment on this post with all of the deals (Publix and other stores) you have snagged this week! Brag away – we all love to read about it!
