Today, I managed to squeeze in a quick trip to Kroger in between running the teenagers around town. Kroger is my second tier grocery store. I love the savings that I can find there but I get the majority of my groceries at Meijer. Both Meijer and Kroger double their coupons up to .50.
My Kroger shops are usually small and allow me to get in and get out quickly. I don't have a lot of aisles that tend to distract me like Meijer does. However, I did find some great deals on Saturday at Meijer while browsing the homegoods aisles. I was able to get a HUGE battery operated remote control candle for half off and some great gifts for the family Christmas grab bag!!
When making my list for Kroger today, I used the Grocery Game and quickly clipped my coupons in about 15 minutes.
The items I put on my list today were BLUE which means that they are the best price they will be during this cycle.
I bought:
6 Yoplait Greek Yogurt
6 Boxes of Nature Valley Granola Bars
2 Boxes of Nature Valley Protein Bars
1 Bottle of Welch's Grape Juice
4 Can's of Campbell Soup
Tide Detergent
6 cans of refried beans
1 container of Kroger sour creme
Not on a BLUE sale...but we still needed.
Bananas
Lunchmeat
Truvia sweetner (coupon for 1.50 off)
My total for these 31 items was $41.08 BUT I used my Visa card that received from the P&G rebate sale for $15.
Total after the $15 Visa Card= $26.08
Saved a total of $43.86 with coupons and shopping the sale + my $15 gift card = $58.86
So I spent $26.08 and SAVED $58.86
I recommend taking advantage of opportunies for rebates and use that money towards your grocery budget because a rebate is like a REALLY good coupon!
Look for my upcoming post regarding my grocery budget and savings for September!!
