Can you believe it is Friday again…this week flew by! I have given up hope that things will slow down! You know I think I would be bored if I wasn’t in constant motion 🙂 Preschool is coming to an end this month as is T-ball. Of course I have already scehduled swim lessons and both boys still have soccer…so more fun to come!!
In all of my running around this week, I managed to get to Publix once. I went a little over my weekly budget of $40 but I just couldn’t pass up the boneless skinless chicken AND I was really craving guacamole!! This week I spent $53.52 for a little over $200 worth of products! That means I saved about 75% this week! Now, that may not seem like a big deal — but, I scored over 12 pounds of meat which will become two weeks worth of meals…not too shabby!!
I know some will ask about my free product coupons…you will find out more about the Freschetta soon as I have a little surprise that I will most likely post on Monday and the Thomas’ products were part of a campaign from one the programs that I participate in called SheSpeaks. I am given the opportunity to try products and give my feedback. I loved this one as those Thomas Bagel Thins were FABULOUS!! I got the “everything” bagel thins and let me just tell you there is only one or two left in the bag!! I really wish they would include these in the BOGO sale next time!! The Sunchips coupon was a Facebook freebie. Gotta love those freebies 😀

How did you guys do this week?? Leave a comment or link to your weekly totals.
Thanks for letting us link up! Can’t wait to read about the surprise on Monday!
Can you explain the chicken deal?
Friday has been sneaking up on me every week! I didn’t realize until I saw this post (it’s after 11pm here) that it was already Friday! Baby Brain! (I’m not pregnant lol, I have four kids under three-which I’m assuming is actually worse for your brain, and back, than pregnancy)!
Tonight was my very first time really shopping at Publix after finding out about being able to use coupons and stuff. My grand total was…..Total Bill=201.41 OOP=76.77!!! WOO HOO!! Consider me a new Publix shopper and I am completely obsessed with old.iheartpublix.com!! Thank You thank you thank you!!!
I spent $28.21 for $120.43 worth, saved $92.22 = 77%
Spent $132.55, saved $162.20! Saved 81%!!! Woohoo! ‘Cept for milk and bananas, we’re set for a few weeks…and that’s the goal.
Michelle, thanks for mentioning SheSpeaks! I just signed up, can’t wait to see what kind of offers they have for us!
Time really is going by too fast these days. Thanks for the reminder that I gotta sign my boys up for swim classes this summer.
I had a problem at Publix this week, when they would no longer allow overage on coupons. Did any of you have this problem?
My Publix has the American Cheese Singles with a promo for FREE Oscar Mayer Deli Meat Zip Pack. I had two Cooking with Kraft Q’s and used those with this to score Publix Italian Bread for $2.00 off per loaf. Then I had $2.00 off per Oscar Meyer pack.
The cashier looked puzzled at first, then called a manager over and then they looked it over said “She good to go, she pretty good at this.” I was so happy, nothing worse then being wrong with a huge line behind you. 🙂
I, too, want to know about the PQ for chicken. Where did you get them and how did you get 8 of them? Thanks
Andrea, Publix had calendars with coupons in them. One coupon per month. May’s coupon was $1 off any meat purchase. I’d guess she has 8 calendars! The calendars are no longer available.
Hey, I had a great trip to Publix today! I spent 50.38 and saved 125.32 and that included a fifty dollar gas card for my niece for a graduation gift! I love your site and recommend it all the time. My seventeen year old son has informed me that whenever he gets married (hopefully after college (g) I will have to teach his wife how to coupon! I love having a stockpile to donate to the food bank too as well. Thanks for all you do!
How do you get 8 calendars,? I had to email for my one!
Saved $107.26, spent $56.67 plus a $50 gas card. Did my shopping on the last day of the sale, phew barely made it! Missed out on the dove deal and got my first rain check ever! Also, Hidden Valley Ranch was gone (except light, yuk!) and I got spicy ranch instead. Should make for an interesting salad night! Snagged the last two Nivea body washes in the store which is great b/c I only had two coupons.
