Last night I made a run into Kroger after putting together my grocery list and matching coupons. I did this while my family and I were watching MTV's show "Cribs".
I was able to interact and be part of the family while I worked on finding my coupons and matching them to the items that were on sale.
I knew that I needed to go last night because it was the last day of their sale. I matched coupons from the newspaper, magazines, and loaded 2 cellfire coupons to my Kroger card. If I had more time, I would have checked out the Kroger site to see if there were more e coupons that could have been added.
I bought 22 items that will help me as I begin to rebuild our stockpile.
Kroger savings from my receipt:
MFG CPN savings $6.00
Bonus coupon savings $1.84 (cellfire e coupons)
Kroger plus savings $12.33
Total savings: $20.17

5/3 Grocery Shop at Kroger and Aldi
Today was such a beautiful day that I really didn't want to go to the grocery store. It was a quick one today because I have some items in my stockpile that I am going to use to get us through the week so I didn't need to get a ton of items. It took me less than an hour to hit both of these stores and arrive back home.
Today I hit Kroger and saved 48%. I love it when I hit this percentage. I was able to load e coupons to my Kroger card from shortcuts and p&g. I also used manufacturers coupons.
Total shop at Kroger
MFG coupon savings $6.75
Bonus coupon savings (ecoupons) $2.35
Kroger savings (buying it on sale) $24.24
Total savings....$33 = 48% savings
I also needed to hit Aldi for some essentials.
I bought waffles, chewy granola bars, splenda, parmesean cheese, salmon, baby carrots, and gummy bears.
These are items that I almost always get for less at Aldi. There are a few rare occasions when I get these items for less, but they are also staples in our house and sometimes I underestimate our stockpile and fall short.
Spent 28 at Aldi
Total weekly grocery budget: $65

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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Meijer (saved 50.00) and Kroger (saved 24.81)
What a great shop!!!!
My daughter and I went shopping together and hit Kroger and Meijer. I usually don't shop during the week, but the girls don't have school tomorrow because of parent/teacher conferences. Since it wasn't a "school night" for them, I felt like this evening was a little more low key. I made my list last night for both Meijer and Kroger and hit them both in one evening. It has been a long time since I have done 2 stores in one day.
We went to Kroger first since I had the least amount of items that I would be buying this week.
At Kroger I bought halloween candy, goldfish crackers, sausage, yogurt, and chicken patties. Everything that I bought was on sale. I had coupons for all of these items as well. I even had an additional shortcuts coupon that was loaded onto my Kroger card. If you have a Kroger card, you can load coupons on to it and then use an additional manufacturers coupon. The website is www.shortcuts.com
Our total was $22.94. I saved $24.81 (5.50 coupons and saved 19.31 for items that were on sale)
This is a 52% savings. YEAH!!!
Meijer was an adventure. It is amazing how you really need to make sure you have a good cashier. I don't know if my cashier was just learning, but she struggled with my coupons, kept dropping items, and rang up my items multiple times. She said that she took an item off that she didn't so I had to go to customer service after our shop.
I bought 4 loafs of bread, 2 dozen eggs, toilet paper, 6 yogurt, 6 pizzas, 2 shells and cheese, 2 on the go drink mixes, 4 pudding, icecream, 5 boxes of granola bars, 2 boxes of captain crunch, 1 box of Life, mascara, and turkey breast.
Everything was on sale and I used coupons as well!! My total was 59.00. I saved 49.44 (Meijer promotions 3.99, On sale -28.65, Coupons used -16.80)
Oh my! I just noticed that she also charged me for an extra pizza!!! How frustrating!!!
Since I have begun my coupon adventure, I refuse to buy most things unless they are on sale. Without the grocery game, I was buying items that were on sale but could be a cheaper price at a later date. I love that the grocery game does all the thinking for me! I save a much greater percentage when I use their grocery lists!!!
So for this week's groceries, I spent $82.00 and saved $74.25. Almost 50% off!!

Kroger 8/24
Again, if you haven't checked out The Grocery Game I highly recommend it.
I shopped of their list for Kroger today and saved 46%.
I purchased 24 items for $26.48 and saved $22.46
Yeah!
Check out my other posting about The Grocery Game for the nitty gritty. I showed my sister how this worked and she signed up yesterday and loves it!! She has already shopped at Meijer and Jewel and is looking forward to giving Walgreens a try.
Remember it only costs a $1.00 to try it for a month. Give it a try and I think you will be thrilled with the savings.

Kroger E coupons
According to my last Kroger shop you can see that I had a few e coupons.
If you already have gotten your Kroger card, you will need this to be able to drag your coupons to your Kroger card.
How the e coupons work is that they are virtual coupons. You don't need to have the coupon in your hand because it is on the card. When you check out the cashier will scan your card and after you purchase your item the e coupon discount will appear on your receipt.
Another great thing about the e coupons is that you can stack them. This means you can have an e coupon and also a paper coupon from your Sunday paper or printed from a coupon website. This saves you even more money. Again, the best deal is to always apply these coupons when the item is on sale.
The reason why Kroger is a place that I recommend you shop at is that they double your paper coupons upto .50 cents. This is why I was able to get my French's mustard for free. I had a .50 cents off coupon and Kroger doubled it. Since mustard was on sale for 1.00, this item was free!!

Go ahead and begin dragging coupons to your Kroger card. You will need to have your card number in hand to sign up.
There are 3 sites that each have different coupons. I would bookmark these and check them from time to time. They will also send you emails when they have new coupons that you can load to your card.

6 Birds Eye Steam Fresh Vegatables 2.00 -(3) printable coupon 2/$1 = 9.00
