We all know that it isn’t saving money to run out to every store to buy every deal that you see online. Gas is expensive and it’s often better to wait until you have a lot of deals to do at a store before making the trip. If I only have a couple of things to get at a store or a deal that is about to expire sometimes I will call the store to make sure they have the items in stock first. This happened to me today. My favorite local Publix is actually about 15 mins away, slightly farther than the closer but less coupon friendly publix that is only 5 mins away. So I called to make sure the trip was worth it before leaving the house and the customer service person gave me a great tip. Call Publix and dial 223 as soon as the answering service picks up and it will take you directly to customer service without having to listen to two menus to reach them. I tried it and it works! I am always looking for ways to save time because our time is valuable and I hate to waste it.

Making Homemade Pizzas
We recently tried making homemade pizzas when our friends were over for dinner! We LOVED them. The first time we made them it would have been cheaper to buy premade pizzas because we didn’t have most of the ingredients on hand, but every time after we made them they were a lot cheaper than buying whole pizzas plus they are fun to make. We really enjoyed picking the toppings and making the dough. We found a few different sites that told you how to make the pizzas but we liked this one because it had pictures HERE.

Articles – Food and Groceries in America
While I’m posting articles I thought I would also share this one
“Going hungry in America: ‘Distressing,’ ‘humbling’ and ‘scary’” which makes me grateful that I have more than enough food to eat.
And the opposite
“Report: Americans Waste $2,275 Per Year by Thowing Out 40 Percent of the Food They Buy” which has reminded me that I can always do better about not wasting food.
And here are several first person accounts of people’s experiences with buying groceries and feeding their families in today’s economy-

Last Weeks Publix Shopping Trip
So I was really excited about this Publix Shopping Trip and I got a lot of stuff we needed. I spent $25 and saved $110. Because this week is almost over I decided that instead of posting all of the deals I will simply link to my posts about my two favorite deals.
Shopaholic Savers Deals- Pantene Hair Care .34¢ Each or Free at Publix This Week
As I have mentioned, last year there were very few deals on shampoo and conditioner so this year I’ve been stocking up when I see deals. You can do this deal two ways, the shorter one or longer one. I did the longer one because I had a lot of coupons that all worked together. The coupons in the 2nd deal are harder to come by. I know that they will be doing the B3G1 at least until the end of this sale week. I don’t know if they will be doing it any longer than that.
