My cat is going to be SO happy with me. The one type of cat food she eats (the ONLY type of cat food she eats) is Purina Indoor Cat Food. So, I was very excited about the bags of cat food being on sale BOGO! I was also excited that I saved the $1.50/1 Smucker’s Jelly Coupons I posted about back on September 15th HERE. I saved the coupon hoping there would be a good sale and my persistance paid off. With my four $1.50/1 Smuckers coupons I was able to score Smuckers Jam for $0.09 each. Marvelous. The only major grocery item I needed today was cat food and Band-Aids. Everything else I bought because they were excellent deals. Oh – and to prove that I do in fact purchase produce, I took a picture of my grocery trip to Winn Dixie this morning. With a $25.00 gift card I received over the fall from transferring a ______, I was able to score all of the produce below FREE. Although – I should admit that I left my bag of grapes at Winn Dixie. So, yes, I will be going back there to pick up the forgotten bag UGH.

If you are new to saving money at Publix, read my Intro to Publix post!
**NOTE** 1) My Publix allows us to use more than one of the same Publix 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. 2) Not all Publix locations allow overage. If your Publix does not allow overage, they will adjust the value of the coupon down so that you receive the item for free.

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..
