Having Trouble Using Competitors' Coupons at Publix?
I often read or hear about others having difficulties using competitor coupons at Publix. This is unfortunate because some of the best deals come from being able to use a competitor's coupon on an item that is on sale at Publix.
I have found a great source to show your Publix manager if you are not able to use competitor coupons at your store. The Winter 2008 issue of Publix FamlyStyle Magazine on page 19 has an article titled 7 Small Ways to Save on Food.
The third way the article listed to save money is: "USE COUPONS. Score significant savings in your shopping cart each week. Christy Rooney, a mom from the Jacksonville, Florida, area, suggests using coupons for sale items, redeeming competitors' coupons (they're welcomed at all Publix stores) and watching for rebates on the products you buy."
If you are not a subscriber, copies of the FamilyStyle magazine are usually available at your local Publix. If you have difficulties using coupons at your Publix and the magazines are no longer available, you may wish to call Publix customer service and request a copy of their competitor coupon policy.
To subscribe to future issues of FamilyStyle magazine for FREE click here. Each edition of the magazine is mailed with several Publix coupons that are only available to subscribers.

Don't Get Burned Out Freeze It Instead!
Last week I listed homemade freezer meals as one of my 100 Favorite Ways To Save Money. Today I am sharing some ways that it can help save you money.
I prepare my make ahead meals differently than most once a month cookbooks suggest. I will prepare and cook a large recipe then freeze the leftovers into individual serving containers. Other people freeze the uncooked meals then thaw and cook it the day they plan to serve it. Also, instead of doing all of my cooking for the month in one day I will cook when the ingredients are on sale.
Freezing the meals in individual servings allows Tim to get a meal to take to work for lunch out of the freezer and heat it in the microwave there. When I have a variety of different meals prepared he has a choice in what he wants to take that day which cuts down on the potential boredom of leftovers from the night before. The "kits" that I make are very convenient for him to pick up out of the freezer in the garage when he leaves for work in the morning.
A Few Advantages to Preparing Meals in Advance:
For more frugal ideas and tips be sure to check out Frugal Friday at Biblical Womanhood.

A Few Advantages to Preparing Meals in Advance:
- Ability to choose recipes that have ingredients that are on sale or have on hand.
- Being able to fully take advantage of sales by stocking up on the great deals.
- Homemade meals are usually more nutritious than going out which will probably save on medical bills in the future.
- Less expensive than eating out.
- More efficient use of our time preparing meals allowing us to do other things.
- Saves gas by not going out to eat or having to run to the store at the last minute.
- Store bought frozen dinners often have less food and cost more than a similar homemade meal.
- The opportunity to have a cooking day with friends. I was surprised at how much more fun it is to cook with other people!
- Especially for a smaller family or lunches, preparing individual meals saves on electricity by not having to use the oven every day. This not only saves money from the electricity used on the stove, but also when trying to cool the house on a warm day.
