I went krogering.....Check it out!

I promise all, I will start talking about more than just couponing but just had to share my awesome trip to krogers with you! I went with my huge stack of coupons in hand, I bought 105 items total and spend $120. We are having the mega event this week and next week where you save $5 off your total for every 10 participating items you buy and you can do this as many times as you like ( check your store first just in case, some are different ) Almost everything I bought was part of this deal, I 90 items that qualified so $45 should of been taken off at the end, somehow I only got $40 taken off and we double checked but I am still happy as they were super nice. I also would of saved more but the lady was new and several coupons I used did not come off my total. I also did receive 2 coupons off my next kroger purchase totaling $5 so woohoo!




Before coupons my total was almost $300 after the $40 mega savings and coupons I spent $120.43!!! Awesome! I was so excited as was my husband, I could see the sweat starting to drip before the savings came off, hahaha! Now I couldn't take pictures of everything but here is some of my deals! I used about 60 coupons, and lots of them doubled and I was not expecting that as they said no doubling on the coupon, so double score!


The yoplait delights were .74 each pack, the other yogurts were different prices, some under $1 and some a little over $1!


The pilsbury biscuits, cinnamon rolls, and crescents were one of my fave deals! These ranged in price from .30 to about .60 each. The bags of frozen biscuits had a peelie coupon on them and were about $1 in the end!


The betty crocker supreme brownie mixes were less than $1 and the cookie mixes were as well.


Lots of tuna and hamburger helper, not our faves but I do like the tuna helper and matching it with the 5 cans of free tuna I scored at kmart last week this makes for 5 nights of inexpensive dinners! These were about .60 a box!


The fruit snacks and granola bars were all under and around $1 a box!


My guys love these and they were about $1 a box each!


The cereal was another Awesome deal!!! Less than $1 a box!!! I bought 12 boxes plus have all the boxes another 8 from my kmart doubles!




So tomorrow it is reorganizing cabinets for me as we have no pantry for this, but I will make it fit somewhere as it's nice to have all this stock! It's so awesome saving money and we need to wherever and whenever we can!! If you have a kroger running the mega event now through next wednesday ( our ads end on wednesday and start on thursday ) and are new to this and have any questions I would love to try and help!! Also check out Charlene's blog My Frugal Adventures, you will learn so much about couponing there and she lists tons of great deals daily!

I lOVE couponing. I only have a smith's as my kroger and they never double. Great trip!

Haha, I was just thinking while looking at those photos "I hope she has a place to put all that stuff!" Hopefully you have an extra freezer! You got some great deals, I am so tempted to partake, but with it just being my husband and me, we'd be eating biscuits and cereal for months!

My other love, saving money via coupons!You did great.

I have a Kroger/Ralphs and they do that deal too. My only problem is that I really have to plan well to make sure that I get multiples of 10. It can get sort of confusing, but when you do it right, you score.

WOW! Girl you did good. You look like a food hoarder like me:) I just love the feeling of being all stocked up. Great deals.

Thanks too for the words of encouragement on my blog. I really appreciate it.

Good shopping trip! My Kroger can be weird about the Mega Event. They only like you to be able to do 3 in one transaction!

Oh, I so miss the Kroger from my childhood. We do not have any in the Chicago area that I know of. You did a marvelous job of shopping. Go ahead and keep talking about coupons. I think it is very helpful...given the times we are all in!!!

I spend an hour every Sunday afternoon sorting through my coupons and my Kroger ad--I love shopping at Kroger!

Thanks for your comment--that pot roast is really just too good

Wow! I am also a stay home mom and saving is a must! I am getting myself started and organized in the coupon department, thanks to a lady I saw at Krogger. She had an AWSOME binder with baseball card holder for her coupons and dividers. She was kind enough to let me take a peek. So thank you for the added motivation to start using coupons. Love your blog by the way!
