Happy Friday!
Hope you guys had a great week! We had a relaxing weekend at the beach last week and then it was back to reality on Monday. So sad!
I came back to full swing Christmas decorating, shopping for gifts and Christmas baking shopping. I was able to get almost all of it done until yesterday. I hit a wall and got some sort of cold. I think its the change in weather here in South Florida. At the beach we had 70 something degree weather and it has begun dropping into the 40’s at night and morning. Then it goes back up during the day. Thats Florida winter for you and when we all get sick.
Thankfully I was able to get my regular Publix shopping done yesterday. I have to say it was a very sad couponing moment for me at Publix. Yesterday was the last day of my $5/$30 Winn Dixie coupons that I had left. I love those savings and it will make a huge increase in my budget from here on out.
Does anyone know if they are going to discontinue them forever? I hope they bring them back some time next year. That’s a savings of at least $10 – $15 a week for me!
On the bright side I will not feel like I live at Publix anymore. I was going at least twice a week for that savings since I had to split the transactions.
I am not including my Target haul since it was strictly for my Christmas baking. That comes from my Christmas budget. I was able to lower my cost a little with a gift card I picked up last week for the Visa deal.
Here are my last real couponing shopping totals:
Spent – $56.12
Saved – $41.09

I feel like everyone is having a sniffle of some sort around here, and I definitely went under through this last cold spell.
Do you do Recyclebank? I get the $3 off $30 coupons from there, and then of course the $5 off $50 that they send in the Red Plum junk mailers once in a while.
