Kroger savings 3/24/09 (Spent 72 and Saved 113)

What another great shop! It seems like sometimes there are banner sales and savings and other times that the sales are pitiful!!

I have noticed that I have been able to save more lately and I really feel that it is due to sticking to the grocery game list, deciding what we already have that can be eaten, subscribing to 2 newspapers, and (trying to) sticking to a budget.

Kroger is having a mega sale where when you buy 10 of their participating items you get $5 off. I bought 20 of these items and saved $10.

I have taken a little bit of extra time to go to http://mommysnacks.blogspot.com/2008/07/snack-time-welcome.html. There are many times that she has additional deals with printable coupons or coupons in the circulars.

When I shop at Kroger, I take the time to check out 3 sites to link electronic coupons to my Kroger card. The coupon comes off automatically and it will show on your receipt under the item that the coupon is applied to. The nice thing about the ecoupons is that you can add manufacturer coupons to lower the price of the sale item as well.

For example, Fruit snacks were on sale for 1.99 each. They were also part of the mega sale so they were 1.49 each. I had a coupon for .50 cents off from the SS 3/8 which is doubled by our Kroger. So I got them for a dollar off which is .49 cents. I also had an electronic coupon for .75 cents off of 2. So I got my both of my fruit snacks (I had 2 manufacturer coupons) for .12 cents each!!!

As I said there are 3 sites for electronic/ecoupons.

My total savings is as follows:
Manufacturer coupons $36.49
Bonus coupon savings $5.50
Kroger Plus Savings $70.77
Total savings 61% = 112.76

Can you say yippeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
