So – the end of the week is here and I haven’t gone shopping. I think last year, out of the entire year, I skipped out on two week’s worth of shopping and one of those two weeks my husband shopped for me. Well, this week has been one of those long weeks where I’ve been fighting the flu and then at the same time juggling what seems like 100 balls. My husband was going to go shopping tonight for me but I told him we would take the week off. We more than indulged in the Italian Days sales the past two weeks and my stockpile is overflowing so we need literally nothing. Top that off with a shipment of meat I received on my doorstep today from Kansas City Steaks (used Groupons) so I have enough beef, ham and chicken stockpiled away to last a good 3 months. I have what I thought was the largest freezer ever and it is stocked so I’m okay taking the week off! And, truthfully, there are not a lot of sales this week at Publix that are exciting to me. Are there any sales you are looking forward to? Any deals that you think are noteworthy? Would love to hear!

And – if you recall, I asked all of you to email me your photo show and tells! Below are the highlights of the photos you all sent! I can tell you all are doing an awesome job saving money and that many of you have learned the concept of stockpiling. Great job everyone and thanks for the photos!

**Also – make sure you click the link at the bottom of this post that says “Read the Rest of This Entry” so that you don’t miss out on any of the deals below!

The photo above shows $207.00 worth of groceries that was purchased for $39.50!! I’m seeing fresh meat, produce, bread, milk and even kleenex. Awesome!

Everything in the photo above was purchased for $10.38! Gotta Love Publix Italian Days! (Am I the only one missing this sale already?)

The picture above includes $193 worth of groceries that were purchased for $20.38! Lots of crackers, canned foods, soda and some fresh produce and juice! Love it!

Everything in the picture above cost $6.15 after coupons and sales!! Aren’t the Kleenex containers so cute?

The picture above is Part One last week’s Publix trip for one reader… Below is Part Two with the amount spent.. 🙂

The picture above is Part Two for one of my favorite readers (I also saw her while doing my weekly grocery trip so I have a special place in my heart for her ;)). She bought everything in Part One and Part Two AND 8 bags of Doritos for $20.84!! She spent $20.84 on $245.00 worth of groceries including meat, produce, cleaning supplies, and so much more. Great job!

Photo Show and Tell – Target Frozen Food Galore

I hurt myself yesterday and I’ve been spending a lot of time in bed. I was going to go to Target last night but that wasn’t an option. So, today when I gathered up the gumption, I went to Target and oh my word, I had a blast! I was shocked that my Target was so stocked with Weight Watchers Smart Ones Dinners and Desserts! It is almost as if none of you are taking advantage of their awesome frozen food deal that they have going on right now! If you live in Florida, print your Weight Watchers coupons and RUN to Target.

I do have to give you a HUGE disclaimer – this deal is regional. Some areas do not have this deal available. Check your local ad and see if it lists the deal “Buy any 7 Frozen Foods, Get a $5.00 Target Gift Card.” If you see this deal in your ad, you need to go to Target. Every single frozen food at Target applies towards this deal – as long as you purchase seven frozen food items that equal $5.00 or more.

To see this week’s Target Weekly Ad & Coupon Matchups, go HERE

I will give you a rundown on what I did. I made four transactions. Each transaction I purchased 14 frozen foods. So, after each transaction, I received two $5.00 Target gift cards to use on my next transaction. I could have bought everything in one transaction but I would have had to come out of pocket $30.00 more than I did.

I bought a total of 42 boxes of Weight Watchers Smart Ones Dinners and/or Desserts (priced at $1.80 each), 12 bags of Birds Eye Steamfresh Veggies (priced at $1.02 each) and 2 California Pizza Kitchen Single Serve Pizzas (priced at $2.54 each)

Photo Show and Tell – Publix 2/18/11

So, I’m loving Publix Italian Days! What about you guys? I know so many of you asked me to go shopping yesterday because you wanted to see my Photo Show and Tell yesterday and while I didn’t shop yesterday, I did shop first thing this morning. I started off my shopping trip asking customer service how they would accept the Publix Italian Days coupons. I highly recommend you do the same thing. DO NOT go by my shopping trip and coupon usage since every Publix has a different policy. I actually think my store is too lenient with the coupons and I told my manager that. But, I also told him I would take advantage of the leniency. 😉 I did have a great trip today. As you can see, I really took advantage of the Progresso Canned Beans! They are a staple in my house. I make black bean soup, white chicken chili, regular chili, plain black beans, black beans on salads, and many more recipes with beans. I may even type up an awesome recipe for black bean soup for you all – it goes perfectly with this week’s sales. I bought a lot of Green Giant veggies and most of them are for my favorite 18 month old friend. She likes corn and green beans so she is getting most of my canned veggies. I will keep a few cans of corn to use in Shepard’s Pie. YUM. I also took advantage of the awesome Sargento Cheese deal! I wasn’t able to score the cheese for free since my inserts didn’t have the $1.00/2 manufacturer coupon, but I was able to score them for $0.25 each which is perfectly fine by me! Oh – and the last deal I have to point out is the California Sun Dried Tomatoes and Pesto. It is hard to tell in the picture but I bought four jars of them. They are pricey and there are no coupons for them, but they are on sale BOGO which they never are. So, if that is something you would use, even without a coupon I am telling you it is okay to buy a few jars of them. 🙂

The items I purchased today coincide with this week’s Publix Weekly ad. To see this week’s ad & coupon matchups, go HERE.

If you are new to saving money at Publix, read my Intro to Publix post!

**Disclaimer**
1) My Publix allows us to use more than one of the samePublix store coupon and/or competitor coupon. Not all Publix locations allow this. You should ask customer service if they allow this before loading up your cart.

Photo Show and Tell – Publix 2/11/11

Okay so today’s grocery shopping was a HUGE success because of an email I received from JB. JB emailed me to let me know that there are $1.00/1 Emerald Nuts coupons that would go with this week’s sale (my matchups showed $1.50/2). So, I was able to score great deals on the Emerald Nuts which made me really happy! And, my favorite purchase was the Steamfresh and Bird’s Eye vegetables. We eat a lot of vegetables in this house and one of the ways I try to save money on produce is to buy frozen veggies (hence my purchasing 9 bags today ;)). So, for all of you out there that eat healthy and email me telling me there are never good deals on healthy foods, this is perhaps a good deal for you! If you purchase the Steamfresh or Bird’s Eye veggies without (key word is without) sauce then you are buying frozen veggies with only one ingredient – the veggies! There are no preservatives, no fattening sauces, nothing besides veggies (check out the list of ingredients and you will see this). 🙂

And – for all of you who read last week’s Photo Show and Tell, I did end up getting a phone call from my store’s head manager and he and I had an awesome conversation. Publix works really hard to provide excellent customer service and I saw this as I spent a good 20 minutes talking to him. It seems he and I are on the same page, so I was extremely pleased. And, supposedly Publix is in the works to put together some sort of written coupon policy which in my opinion would be awesome. If all of the stores could be on the same page and have the same policies there would be so much less confusion over the “gray” couponing areas. And, as you all have probably realized, Publix is starting to tighten their couponing policies – not because they want to be strict but because of the people that abuse the policies. I have heard some horrible examples of people photocopying coupons, using fake coupons, returning items they paid next to nothing on to get the cash, etc etc. It is the “bad seeds” out there that ruin it for all of us. SO – remember that Publix has awesome sales. They give us awesome store coupons. There is no reason that we should take advantage of them. And – as a side note, if any of you have any questions as to what is allowed versus what is fraudulent, please do not hesitate to email me at addictedtosaving at hotmail dot com.

The items I purchased today coincide with this week’s Publix Weekly ad. To see this week’s ad & coupon matchups, go HERE.

Photo Show and Tell – Publix 2/4/11

So this has been a busy week for me! Getting out of the house today and doing my weekly Publix shopping trip was a nice break from working on the website. 🙂 I did actually have a coupon issue today at my Publix. To the point where I talked to the manager who said that while they would put the coupons through, they shouldn’t… The crazy thing is that I have done this type of transaction multiple times. When I was leaving Publix today I talked to one of the customer service staff that I always talk to and she said it was a “gray area” of couponing.. Of course I know all about gray areas – especially since Publix doesn’t have a written coupon policy.. All of you email me about “gray” areas of Publix policies on a daily, sometimes hourly basis. But, I always want to err on the side of caution. I don’t want to break rules or even remotely get close to breaking the rules. So I am not going to include the specific coupons (yes there were two gray area issues) in question in this scenarios below. I have put a call into corporate because I want to see what they say about it. Corporate has already called me back and I am now waiting to hear from the District Manager. I know that other reputable websites (emphasis on reputable) say that this specific type of transaction is acceptable. So, either my store is “stricter” than others or my store is misinformed. Either way, I am starting to reevaluate how I run Addicted to Saving. Because here is the thing, my Publix allows certain things that other Publix locations do not allow. And vice versa. And, I don’t want any of you to think that because I am able to do certain things at my Publix it should be allowed everywhere…. SO – all this to say – going forward, I will continue to post my Photo Show and Tell and tell you what I spent and saved and what coupons I used. But, for the matchups, I am going to be a bit less specific for the “gray area” deals. I don’t want you to confuse a specific deal with being 100% acceptable when in actuality it is only acceptable at certain stores with certain managers.. Does that make sense? Did I lose all of you? 🙂

Back to my deals though.. I was so excited to score Athenos Greek Yogurt for $0.20 each and Polly-O Mozzarella for $0.69. AND – I did awesome on the U by Kotex and Kleenex! The best part is I purchased $35.00 worth of Kimberly-Clark or Mead Johnson products per the Start Your Year Out with Big Savings booklet so I will get a $10.00 Publix Gift Card in the mail! (After I send in the Publix Gift Card rebate form).

The items I purchased today coincide with this week’s Publix Weekly ad. To see this week’s ad & coupon matchups, go HERE.

Is anyone else as excited as I about the Eight O’ Clock Coffee sale? We go through coffee like it is water in this house. So, I bought 8 bags today and may even go back to get more! 🙂 I also have an awesome friend who gave me some great Winn Dixie coupons so I was able to get some great deals on the meat I think I was a bit surprised by how much I spent but I have to remind me that the meat wasn’t free and I bought a lot of coffee! I made two different shopping trips today and I’ve combined everything into one transaction below. I made two different trips because I had one $5 off $30 Winn Dixie coupon and one $10 off $50 Winn Dixie coupon and I wanted to use both.

What deals are you taking advantage of this week? What are your favorite stockpile items in this week’s sale? I would love to hear how much you are spending and saving! Please leave a comment on this post filling me in on your deals as well as how much you spent and saved!

I had a crazy busy day today. There are lots of fun things in store for Addicted to Saving and I can’t wait to fill you in on the new changes and fun surprises I have in store for you. But in the meantime, I will leave you in suspense and tell you that today was crazy. That said, I was able to make a quick trip into Publix and take advantage of a few of their sales. Did any of you take advantage of the Amy’s Fresh Delivery Groupon deal I posted about last week? I bought it and this Wednesday had fresh produce delivered to my doorstep. Would love to hear your thoughts if you ordered this deal too. Anyways, with all of the produce and all of my frozen meat stockpiled away I bought a few deals and had a productive shopping trip today. I also stopped on my way home from Publix and picked up a Toffee-Mocha at Starbucks using a gift card I received from Swag Bucks which despite having 1,500 calories was heavenly. I did forget to buy eggs which I am totally out of. Guess that means I will have to go back tomorrow. 🙂 Also – random side note – I have had a really hard time finding any coupon booklets lately. Have you all had this same problem?

The items I purchased today coincide with this week’s Publix Weekly ad. To see this week’s ad & coupon matchups, go HERE.
