Coupon Matches to Publix BOGO's for this week

I want to be able to post printable coupon match-ups weekly with the Publix BOGO's; however, I have found a really great blog that I have mentioned before, Fiddledeedee. She does an excellent job of matching printable internet coupons to the weekly Publix ad.

I found several coupons for this week's ad using her site. For instance, after using the coupons that I printed I will pay: 84 cents for Ritz crackers, 49 cents for Kraft Macaroni and Cheese (an Essentials product not BOGO), and profit 36-37 cents on Kraft BBQ Sauce. These are all assuming I buy only one of each BOGO item.

So feel free to check at her site by clicking HERE. Once you are at the site, if you will look to the far left you will see a section for Publix shoppers and then you can click on the link "This week's deals with printables."

Let me know how you do if you go to Publix this week,

Tara

**Remember that my local Publix will allow customers to purchase 1 of a BOGO item and it will ring half the price.**

Fabulous Find: Jonny's Diaz "More Beautiful You"

If you have listened to Christian radio any this week then it is highly likely that you have heard the new song by Jonny Diaz. It is titled "More Beautiful You" and it is absolutely an on-target song and proof the God does use the "foolish things to confound the wise."

Not that Jonny Diaz is foolish, but that as he states on his website (jonnydiaz.com), and I quote:

"Need more proof that God is funny. Well, He chose me, a 26 year-old guy who admittedly knows nothing about females, to write a song that is impacting young (and not so young) girls all across the country. It’s crazy… and pretty funny. But, if it’s God’s plan, I’m ready to roll with it."

God does do the unexplainable when He wants something to be done.

This song is so true and so needed in the corrupt society that we live in that is constantly bombarding girls (and guys) with images of what they should look like or what the person they date should look like. God did mold and make each one of us. We were wonderfully made and therefore... there can never be a more beautiful you.

If you haven't heard the song then I encourage you to visit the link above and read the lyrics and watch the video of Jonny Diaz singing the song.

Be YOU,
Tara

Back in the Game. . .

I have been "out of the loop" since we went to the beach. It seems like every time we go on a trip I get behind in blogging. I will do my best to get back in the game this week with listing BOGO's and other finds.

Several samples that I requested via afreebieempire.com arrived in the mail this past week. I love this site because the owner really searches out the "free" samples. I signed-up for the newsletter and will typically receive between one and three e-mails a day with each e-mail listing the freebies that are available. I have checked out numerous freebie sites and have found this one to be the one that works best for me.

A few of the items I received this week were:

Kellogg's All Bran Strawberry Medley (and 2 coupons for $2.00 off)
Kellogg's All Bran Fiber Drink Mix
Kellogg's All Bran Fiber Bar
Bodycology Coconut Lime Hand Soap, Lotion, and Spray
Aveeno Nourish + Volume Shampoo and Conditioner (and $1.00 off coupon)
Cottonelle Toilet Tissue (coupon also included)
Cottonelle Flushable Wipe (coupon also included)
Gain Fabric Softener
Mr. Clean coupon
Nature's Source coupon
Silk Soymilk coupon
OFF! coupons
Tylenol coupon
Miralax coupon
Pledge coupon

I also received a ROAK (random act of kindness) envelope from a member of the coupon train I am part of. It contained 36 coupons. Then, today I received a promotional coupon from Oriental Trading for $20 off a $75 or more order. We order from there often so that may come in handy.

Good week as far as coupons and samples go!!

I am more excited about this week's ad than last week's. I see several BOGO items that I have coupons for. I also saw a few Kraft items if any of you still have those great Kraft coupons from couponmom.com.

Now! I have to get busy packin' before my husband gets back here and starts rushin' me!! I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!

Happy Shopping and Saving,
Tara

Fabulous Find: Quote

I found this quote a while back and it really helped me to get through a struggle. I wanted to share it in hopes that it will help someone else.

"God doesn't always give you the people you want, He sometimes gives you the people you NEED...to help you, to hurt you, to leave you, to love you, and to make you into the person you were meant to be." -Author unknown

So if you are struggling with someone just remember that God may have placed them into your life for a reason. I know this is something we all have to remind each other of so if someone who knows me personally sees me slipping in this category, please give me a gentle reminder of this quote.

Blessings,
Tara
