| Today's Publix Trip: Spent $17, Saved $122 |
What a week I had. I actually felt like a crazy couponer this week. I made three different Publix trips and hit up Walmart too. I live within a mile of these stores so I didn't have to drive far but I still feel a little like an extreme couponer for shopping so much. I stayed under $50 total for the week so I don't feel too bad though : )
Today's Publix trip was a little flustering but very sucessful. I had tons of coupons and found many of the prices I had planned on were actually lower when I got to the store. I was able to use my $5/$30 Publix coupon from yesterday's paper, plus a $5/$30 Winn Dixie coupon and a $3 off WYB $20 worth of Beauty/Hair/Skincare items Target catalina. My store had both the vitamin money makers in stock as well as all the items I had on my list.
We needed nothing in the way of fresh groceries this week. Since we were out of town this past weekend and family in town for fun events the first few days of this week, I still have plenty of veggies/salad left from my last Publix trip and our fridge and freezer are well stocked on meat, eggs, and other everyday items. To me this truly is the beauty of couponing and shopping sales.
Being well stocked allowed me to spend my grocery budget this week on hurricane supplies, health and beauty items and lots of fun treats and snacks for the summer. Our fridge and freezer are at capacity so I will have to tone it down and take it easy next week.
