Publix Deals, an Adorable Valentine, and a Sports Wreath


Publix Deals and an Adorable Valentine

 I went to Publix tonight.  I thought it wouldn't be busy since it was a Monday.  Boy, was I wrong!  It was packed.  I thought maybe so many people were there because of Valentine's Day tomorrow, but everyone was buying regular groceries.  Well, anyways I spent $63.96 and saved $51.22, however I do have a mail-in rebate for $10 from Tyson so really I saved $61.22.  Woo hoo!!



Adorable Valentine
I wanted to share my son's Valentine's.  He has a Valentine's exchange tomorrow at school.  Here is what I did.  I was nervous because I ordered the pictures from Snapfish on the 6th.  The delivery said it would take from 2 to 4 days.  Boy they were wrong!  I just received them today.  Eeek!  Talk about last minute.  I rushed to open them and check out the pictures.  Then I got busy slicing and stuffing the lollipops.  I think they turned out wonderfully! I love them.  I think they are SO adorable!  I want one. :-)




Sports Wreath
Every holiday my teammates and I switch names to have a secret person.  A week before the holiday we start our exchange.  We buy a dollar present everyday and then on last day we get a five dollar gift.  I decided for this holiday I would make my secret sweetheart her final present.  I decided to make her a Yarn Sports Wreath!  Here is how it turned out.  I think it came out really cute even though I don't care for the team.


The black circles are black felt flowers.  The picture didn't turn out very good.

  2. I believe they are in the south. Publix is like Kroger.

  4. So... I know this is totally a random post, but I was just searching through your blog and came across it. This post is SO me. haha. I follow a publix blog/website that tell me all the cheap items. I definitely don't do as well as people on that TLC show... I usually do right around this one. I'm a cheap mama! haha :) plus I'm at UCF now for my masters... so yeaup - totally a post made for me! Have a great day!

    1. Is it Southsavers you use? That is what I use to find my deals. I live in Florida so coupons don't double which stinks. I could never be on that show because without them doubling I just can't save like they do. Plus, I am not as crazy as those people. I don't do the dumpster driving or anything like that. I only get the newspaper for coupons. A few of the teachers I work with went to UCF for their undergrad. It seems to be a pretty good school.
