Krogers trip, 5/12/11

Well, this is a few days late, but I figure, better late than never. This is $83.11 worth of product that I only paid $27.82 for, a 66.53% savings.

I am not going to go through all the coupons since I am behind and this was last weeks deal, I will just give you the highlights.

The pasta was all free, so 12 boxes of healthy pasta that, with the buy 10 sale, was only $0.49 each and then I had coupons that were $1/2, making each box a $0.01 money maker. The bar-b-que sauce was only a penny with the same deal and a coupon from Krogers for $1/2. Another Krogers coupon got me a free bag of frozen veggies and the box of Cheerios. From the previous weeks newspaper, I had a coupon for a free box of the Life cereal when you purchased two Quaker products. That was probably the best deal because they sell that cereal for almost $4 a box usually and it was on sale already for $2.49. The banana were on clearance since they were ripe, so I bought them to freeze so Sweet Pea could then have some banana pops. Plus I can use them in smoothies.

Now, if you are like me, I see a lot of people who post their purchases with amazing savings and they seem to be missing many of the staples. We don't eat red meat, so I don't purchase that. I did get a good deal the previous week on frozen chicken, so I purchased that two weeks ago and stocked up. I also purchase whole chickens so I can make chicken broth with those. We also drink almond milk, which has a longer refrigeration life, so I can stock up on that when it is on sale.
