Photo Show and Tell – Publix 1/6/12

Anyone else happy it is Friday?  We got in early Tuesday morning from spending almost a week in St Louis and it took me a couple of days to recover on lost sleep.  And then today was a busy day – I was used as a hair model for the celebrity hair stylist David Evangelista this morning on Daytime.  I can’t say I love what he did to my hair, but he was a lot of fun and it was a new experience for me.  (A motto I gave myself last year was to never close the door on random opportunities that present themselves to me.)

So, with the lack of energy this week and with the busy day I had today, I wasn’t excited about going shopping tonight.  And truthfully, I probably wouldn’t have shopped if I didn’t have to do this Photo Show & Tell.  Well, for my first shopping trip since before Christmas, this is/was a pretty bad one.  The sales are decent but I just didn’t have enough coupons to really get good deals.  And, while I posted a ton of hot coupons on January 1st and 2nd, I was working from my inlaw’s house in St Louis so I didn’t print ANY of the coupons I posted about. 🙁  Lesson learned.  Had I printed the coupons from the 1st and 2nd, I would have gotten better deals today.  I’m also swimming in fresh $1.69/lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts from the Zaycon Foods deal I posted about earlier this week.  So, with my stockpile and tons of meat, I don’t need that much.

Today I was able to get some fresh produce.  And, I got over $25.00 worth of groceries so I was able to save $10.00 on a gas card.  I was pleased about that. 

On the homefront, below is an updated picture of the newest addition to our family.  Louie (short for Luigi) is almost 11 weeks old.  He’s a lot of fun, beyond adorable and a lot of work.  Our 7 year old dog (Pacey) is starting to become accustomed to the fact that Louie is in fact staying and while the two of them are not yet buddies, I see a promising future.  🙂  (We took the picture below while I made dinner tonight.  He fell asleep on his stuffed animal.  Too cute.)

How did you do this week shopping? I hope you were able to spend less and save more than I did! :) Please leave a comment letting everyone know how you did!

Publix’s weekly ad is going back to normal now that the holidays are over. You will see that there are many “health conscious” foods on sale. There aren’t a ton of deals jumping out at me though.  What do you think of this week’s ad? Please leave a comment if you see any missing coupons, deals or typos! The deals below are taken from a Tampa Bay ad-scan. As the days go on, I will update this ad.

******Seven Main Notes to my readers :
1) If you are new to saving money at Publix, read my Intro to Publix post.
2) From time to time the print limit will be reached on printable coupons. You will know the print limit has been reached if you go to print a coupon and you receive an error message, a message stating you have already printed the coupon, or you just don’t see the coupon.
3) When Publix has a Buy One Get One Sale, in order for Floridians to receive the second item free, we have to buy both items. Many other states only have to buy one item and they will get that one item for half (50%) off. Most matchups below are based on “True BOGOs.”
4) For Floridians, if we use coupons 50 cents or less, our coupons are not doubled. Many other states will double coupons as long as they are 50 cents or less.
5) Publix accepts competitor store coupons! HOWEVER, each Publix accepts different competitors based on the proximity of the competitor’s location. Ask your Publix who they consider as competitors.
6) If you live in Florida, our sales cycle starts on Thursdays
7) To see Publix’s color full ad, go Here. The ad will not update until the new ad is live!

Well, it has been a long week for us! I found this week to be a slow week at Publix, but despite that, I certainly seemed to have bought a lot!  I used one $5.00 off $30.00 Publix coupon, one Free $10.00 Target Gift Card when you spend $50+ AND a $10.00 off $100.00 American Express Gift Card when you buy $25.00+ in groceries.  SO, I had to spend $105.00 worth of groceries before coupons which was a very difficult feat this week.  Fortunately, I still had six $5.00 off Bengay coupons and the Bengay was on sale for $5.99.  So, I was able to add $35.94 worth of groceries just by getting the Bengay.  (And, I will put it to good use as I’m sidelined with an injury right now. That is another story though. sigh.) I’m still loving the zucchini and squash sales!  And, I meant to buy a cantaloupe but forgot (it is on sale 2/$4.00 which is a great price).  **I didn’t include the AMEX gift card in my final totals since I look at it basically as a gift card to put towards future grocery shopping trips 🙂 The AMEX deal really isn’t that good when you factor in the activation fee.

How did you do this week shopping? I hope you were able to spend less and save more than I did! :) Please leave a comment letting everyone know how you did!
