Are the paper products you use in your home eco-friendly? Sometimes it can be hard to know if you are making a green choice…but that is not the case if you choose Scotties Facial Tissues!

Scotties Facial Tissue offers a 3-to-1 Tree Planting Promise. Since 2009, Scotties has put in place a promise to plant 3 trees for every one it uses to make its Softest Ever Facial Tissue. They have been committed to environmentally responsible business practices for over 50 years. This is just one reason why Scotties is LIKE NO OTHER facial tissue brand.

WHAT MAKES SCOTTIES LIKE NO OTHER?

• Scotties combines a unique brand promise to plant 3 trees for every 1 used with the long-standing history of its parent company, J.D. Irving, Limited.
• Scotties communicates on every box its commitment to plant 3 trees for every 1 used in making its softest ever tissues and uses 3rd party auditing to ensure compliance
• Scotties Softest Ever tissues are chain of custody certified through the Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI).
• Scotties is the only major U.S. facial tissue to be linked with the Responsible Forest Project (RFP)
• Scotties has partnered with American Forests to create SCOTTIES RELEAF U.S.A. and TREES ROCK! In an effort to promote urban tree planting initiatives in the United States
• J.D. Irving has planted over 800 million trees in the last 50 years

The folks at Scotties sent me a huge box full of tissues. The tissue came at a perfect time…once again my kids gave me some kind of funk and I had a cold plus runny nose for almost a week. In that week I went through almost two boxes. The Scotties Tissues were strong enough to handle all my nose blowing yet still kind to my nose.

Here are the best deals I see in the Publix Yellow Advantage Buy flyer “Sweet Savings” that begins on Saturday, 2/4 through Friday, 2/24. These are just the Super Deals…you can still see the Full Ad & Publix Coupons over here.

Keep in mind that you won’t find this flyer or sale prices in your store until Saturday!

Today we’re going to hear from Rebecca. Couponing helped Rebecca deal with some tough financial issues over the past few years and she wrote in to tell us about all the good things that have come from couponing. Like all of us, she came to love shopping at Publix . Take it away, Rebecca!

Close to three years ago my  husband and I were faced with two mortgages…we had just bought our dream house, and we had to quickly sell or rent our old house. As a stay at home mom to our two daughters, couponing was the only option that really allowed me to help my family financially.

Over the years, couponing has allowed me to do some amazing things. I have had the chance to share my love of couponing with some close friends, which in turn has allowed them to afford a better lifestyle and have extra money (as well as an endless supply of food at the end of a week/ month). I have been able to stockpile items my family uses.  My biggest accomplishment was this past Christmas –  I was able to buy Christmas for my two kids debt free, from all the money I have saved from couponing….not to mention the extra things like kid clothes, house deco items that I couldn’t have afforded without couponing. Does it take time & commitment? YES – but the rewards are endless.

I often laugh at how much I try to buy items on sale and use coupons daily in my family’s life. One moment in particular that stands out is the day I took my youngest daughter to the Dollar Tree to get class supplies. My daughter and I were looking for a particular item when my daughter saw something she wanted and asked …..”Mommy, can I have this,  is it on sale?” That was when I realized I have instilled the value of frugality in my four year old daughter!  I smiled at my daughter and told her we were at the dollar store, not Publix, so everything there was on sale for a dollar. I also made sure to thank her for asking if it was on sale!

We recently moved to a small town without a Publix, and I can’t tell you how much I miss it. We had the opportunity to sell our house quickly and move closer to my husband’s family. He also had the opportunity to work from anywhere with his new company. Living near family was something that both my husband and I felt was important for our two young daughters.

I am happy to report that we are getting two Publix locations this summer.  I can’t wait to be able to shop at a Publix in Knoxville, TN in the months to come. I keep telling my husband’s family and people I meet that Knoxville will not know what to do when Publix arrives! And I guarantee I will be in line the grand opening day with coupons!

Thanks so much for sharing with us, Rebecca ! 

I could really use a few new volunteers for the Reader Spotlight – so please write in if you have a story to tell! Your post can be about almost anything to do with couponing. You can tell us about a particularly good or bad situation you’ve dealt with as a couponer, about how you got into couponing or how couponing has impacted the rest of your life, you can make a list of things every new couponer should know…just about anything, really! If you think it’s interesting and it has to do with couponing, email me with your idea at contactiheartpublix @ gmail.com!
