I went to Kroger with coupons & knowing the deals of the week & stocked up on some pretty incredible stuff!! Here is what I got first!
Last weeks biggest deal was their cereal. You buy what's on sale that week & stock up with plenty so you'll have enough until they go on sale again. So, we've never gotten brand name cereal cause they were too expensive, but with the deal & the coupons last week, here is what I got on my first trip to Kroger:
5 boxes of any Kellogg's Cereal that I wanted
4 boxes of Cinnamon Toast Crunch
4 boxes of Original Cheerios
Total Paid: $11
They gave me $4 back on my next purchase, so it cost me $7 total for 11 boxes of cereal!!!
The real amount it would've cost me was $36 & some change! :)
Saved: $29!!
Now, my next shopping trip was more for what we needed cause we haven't been shopping in FOREVER!! Because until couponing, I've HATED grocery shopping! haha. Now, it's a game & it's fun to see how much I can lower my total!
2nd trip:
5 Kellogg's Cereals
4 Cinnamon Toast Crunch
4 Original Cheerios
2 bags of hot dog buns
1 Gallon of milk
1 Pert Plus 3 in 1 Wash for Men
1 Dial Men's Body Wash
1 head of lettuce
2 Bags of carrots
2 loaves of Sub sandwich bread
1 pack of cheese slices
1 pack of deli lunch meat
1 pack of Sausage
2 Ball Park Franks
2 packs of Playtex tampons
1 bag of Puppy chow (out of necessity - not sale unfortunately haha)
Total: $136
Total Paid: $52
Total Saved: $84!!!
Can you believe it?!?! I got all of that for $52!!! Now, I was really excited because that was WITH all the produce & milk & puppy chow & bread & meat & cheese that I didn't have coupons for & I can't WAIT to see what my next shopping trips will be without those!! :) I was SOOO excited!! I've been an avid reader of www.savingabundle.com & have been loving all the deals she's been posting. She's actually a member of the church in the Memphis 2nd ward & we're going to a class she's doing this Friday night. If you're interested, let me know & you can come, but seriously, this is saving us SOO much money & it's somethings I've gotten REALLY excited about! Let me know what you think!!! Check out everything I got!!
I couldn't even fit all the cereal on the dryer the first time!! :)
