Tips and Reviews from a Frugal Shopaholic with Expensive Taste
I’m a strong believer in making goals but statistics show that only 8% of people are successful in achieving their New Year’s Resolutions and that a whopping 80% of New Year’s resolutions fail by February. On the other hand you are much more likely to be successful if you have written down specific, measurable goals that you regularly review. That doesn’t sound too difficult does it?

It was back to work for me today and I didn’t really feel like shopping or cooking after all the Christmas excitement yesterday so I just made a quick Publix trip with no coupons and picked up a rotisserie chicken for dinner while I was there. This was probably the cheapest I’ve ever got out of Publix, and certainly not my best savings day, but I feel like a winner being able to breeze in and out and not have to cook when I got home! Today I bought $40.91 worth of groceries for $22.75, or 44% off. Here are the deals:
We’re planning to have brunch on Christmas day instead of a large lunch so I picked up the ingredients for a sausage and egg casserole and I can’t wait to have some! We’ll also have the Lit’l Smokies, cheesecake and Sister Schubert’s rolls along with a spiral sliced ham. I’m hungry already! Today at Publix I bought $101.61 worth of groceries for $39.11, or 62% off after coupons. Here are the deals:
My best friend throws an annual Glitter Bomb party every Christmas that is the “must attend” party of the season. I don’t know how she deals with the mess afterwards, but each year she’s done some amazing things with the “glitter bombs” and this year’s version was my favorite!
Purchase one of TGI Friday’s gift cards online and give the gift that makes everybody happy – including you! In fact, if anyone is trying to figure out a gift for ME then this deal works perfectly. For every $25 in gift cards you purchase, you receive $5 in Bonus Bites. You can save the extra Bonus Bites for yourself or use them for stocking stuffers.
We like to decorate the whole house for the holidays and other than some holiday kitchen towels to hang from the stove and maybe a few small accent pieces there just hasn’t seemed like too much else we can decorate in there in the past. Now these super simple cabinet decorations are really making the kitchen pop with holiday cheer.
After picking up a couple boxes of Russell Stover candies for my co-workers last week I realized that I’d forgotten a couple people so I grabbed a couple more and also got some Ferrero Rocher candies for gifts for our mail lady and the next door neighbors. We’ll make some of these cookies for Santa and I can’t wait to use the chicken stock to make this knockoff recipe of Carrabba’s Sausage and Lentil soup, it’s flipping delicious! Today at Publix I bought $113.51 worth of groceries for $50.38, or 56% off after coupons. Here are the deals:
My kids, all teenagers now, have been a huge help so far this holiday season. They let me sleep in the day after we got all the Christmas boxes down from the attic and surprised me by already having the tree up and decorated when I woke. Now they’re really in treat making mode so we made these super fun Grinch Nutter Butter cookies. Apparently they’ve decided they were so good that we’ll have to make some more then go see the new Grinch movie!
We love to have breakfast for dinner at our house and we do that probably once a week so I was happy to stock up on bacon, hash browns and cereal today. There’s also enough here for a few other meals with the pasta, rolls and potatoes and I’m thrilled with the great deal on Russel Stover candies that are for office gifts for a couple of my favorite co-workers. Today at Publix I bought $102.78 worth of groceries for $36.54, or 64% off after coupons. Here are the deals:
