So excited! Lots of great coupons this week & matched up with great sales at my favorite grocery store, Publix.

My awesome husband is the one who got to go this morning while I worked. For the record, I told him that I would be fine with four boxes of Jose Ole Taquitos/Tacos. I suppose when he saw the "blinkie" machine right by them for $1/1, he felt otherwise. Hence, twelve boxes. Oh well, Bradley now has after school snacks for a while. :)

So, here is the rundown!!

8 bottles of Juicy Juice ($1.50 each)

8 bottles Powerade Zero (FREE)

12 boxes Jose Ole Taquitos & Tacos ($1.50 each)

4 (4 per pk) Bic Mens/Womens Razors (FREE)

2 Degree Deodorants ($0.50 each)

2 bags Tyson Chicken Tenders ($2 each)

Total before savings: $142.13

Coupons + Sales: $106.87

Total hubby paid: $35.26

Savings of: 75%

See you all next week!! :)

Saved 72% at Publix this week!!

So I think I am officially getting the hang of this! After spending a couple hours on Wednesday researching my favorite sites, IHeartPublix.com and SouthernSavers.com - I had printed out my coupons, clipped others, organized in stacks and also on an Excel spreadsheet list, and just gotten everything together.

This was going to be my first full on, head first run into major couponing. I was so excited to go to the store after work I could barely contain myself. :)

I went to Publix and was in and out in an hour. I only bought what was on my list, and actually didn't buy two items (2 Red Baron pizzas) because they were out of stock.

So, here is my "score" this week. My best yet. Before I divulge my spendings vs. savings, let me just list what it is that I came out of the store with:

4 boxes Duncan Hines brownie mix

4 boxes Duncan Hines cake mix

4 containers Duncan Hines frosting

4 boxes Triscuits

2 boxes Special K

4 bags Lays chips

12 bags Birds Eye frozen veggies

4 bags Alexian frozen all-natural breads

4 cups Ciobani greek yogurt

4 (4 pk) cups of Yoplait Yo-Plus yogurt

2lbs Jimmy Dean sausage

4 packs Jones sausage

2lbs bananas

3 bottles of 32 load Snuggle fabric softener

6 packs Idahoan mashed potatoes

1 (5lb) bag Domino sugar

1 pack (8 roll) Viva paper towels

2 (12oz) packs Kraft sliced American cheese

2 boxes Quaker granola bars

2 (1.5L) containers Breyers ice cream

2 (8oz) containers Cool Whip

Total before savings: $203.62

Coupons + Sales: $145.96

Total I paid: $57.66

Savings of: 72%

The Yoplait Yo-Plus yogurts ended up being FREE because they were on sale for $2, and on BOGO, so they were $1 each. I had a $1 off of one coupon for each of them, so they cost me nothing. The bananas were also free w/ the coupon I had because I purchased the Triscuits. The Alexian bread was $0.70 per bag after coupons, the Triscuits were $0.25 per box after coupons, and the Breyers ice cream was $1.50/carton after the "stacked" store + manufacturer coupons I had.

Yes, my name is Kimberley and I am addicted to couponing.

See you all next week! :)

Happy Opening Day!!

I love baseball.

Absolutely love it.

I never used to like it until I met my husband.

And he loved the Marlins.

And I had never watched baseball.

Now I watch it.

And I love it.

So HAPPY OPENING DAY everyone!

I am going to sit at home...

With my peanuts & cracker jacks...

And watch both my teams alternately on two different channels...

...and I hope they win!

Lets go RAYS and MARLINS!!!
