Haphazardly Hobbying

Just two quick trips this week to grab a couple of the must-have deals and to pick up the things we knew we’d need for dinners this week (more on that in my meal plan post). Here’s what we got: # Item Price Qs Total 12 Rotel $8.34 $3.00 $5.34 2 Pompeian Oil $5.99 $2.00 [...]

As promised: another quick Publix run. My store didn’t have the Yellow Advantage flyers out yet so I skipped the few deals that depended on those coupons – I’m sure I’ll pick them up over the next weeks – and just grabbed the few things that I had on my list. Mid-trip Matt called to [...]

I had a few more $5/$25 coupons that were expiring and the Kleenex coupons I ordered off of eBay came in, so last night it was time for a quick and CHEAP Publix run! Here’s what I got: # Item Price Qs Total 16 Kleenex (rain check from last wk) $20.00 $31.00 ($11.00) 1 Blue [...]

If you follow I Heart Publix you know that I did my shopping early this week….but what you don’t know is that in trying to be as awesome as Happy (not possible!!), I totally threw off my shopping game! I was busy examining signs and taking pictures so I managed to grab the wrong coffeemate [...]

I hope you all are enjoying your weekend – I know I am! I lounged in bed until an unheard-of NINE FIFTEEN today, and it was fabulous. (I was on Dog Duty this morning, but I’ve gotten pretty good at sleepwalking through that 5-minute chore, so I don’t even count it as ‘getting up’ anymore [...]

This is only about half of what I brought home this week! It’s been a BIG shopping week for me! I was out of town for the first half of the week – I went to Georgia to visit Michelle of I Heart Publix fame! We had a great time visiting and, of course, shopping [...]

It’s been a little bit of a weird week – I’ve only had little bits of time here and there to think about shopping, and you can really see that in action when you look at my two different shopping trips. On Sunday we were DESPERATELY in need of some fresh produce and I needed [...]

Happy Halloween, everyone! I hope you’ve been enjoying your weekend – I know I have! I finished work around 6 pm on Friday and went into celebration mode (it was a TOUGH week). On Friday night we hung out with some friends & had a fire (G’ville weather is cooperating again, woohoo!) and yesterday we [...]

Matt and I were casting around last night for something to make for dinner and I remembered the deal that the stupendous Happy found on Armour frozen meatballs over on I Heart Publix .. so I ran to the store to grab them (and a few other things so I could use a $5/$25 coupon [...]

Total OOP: $44.19 I did well on a number of levels today. First, I think this grocery run certainly shows that you can easily save a ton on healthier items when you use coupons – I’m really trying to limit the amount of bad-for-us crap that is coming into the house and I definitely succeeded [...]

I’ve been to three different Publix stores this morning and I spotted a ton of great stuff! N. Main St: Booklets – The Home Tailgate Playbook, FL Toss 4 Cash, Better at Home (Save up to $15 now) Tearpads – $.75/1 Kraft Homestyle Mac & Cheese on a display at the front of the store [...]
