**Today’s shopping trip coincides with this week’s Publix 3/18/10 – 3/24/10 sale cycle. To see this week’s Publix sales and coupon matchups, go Here! Today, my great friend Kara and I hit up Target and Publix together. We had a blast. There are some awesome sales right now and let me tell you, we both took FULL advantage of them. If you are new to couponing, there are some great deals at Publix this week that you should be able to participate in as well! I spent a total of $2.68 (including tax – it was $0.93 before tax) on everything in the picture above. One of the luxuries of stockpiling is that you can shop the sales each week knowing that you don’t really NEED anything. I have a full pantry so every week I focus on all of the really good deals to add to my stockpile. If you are new to my website, I should tell you I post weekly Photo Show and Tells to inspire you and also show you exactly what you need to do to save money. Below I will give you the exact coupon matchups I used so that you can save big too!

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..
