Kroger shop 12/19

Great deals today! I had not step foot in Kroger in months until today. It had been soooo long since I was there that I couldn't find my Kroger card. I had to get a new one at customer service.

I was able to stock pile a few things. There were a lot of things on the grocery game list this week that our family would eat. Many of you are hesitant to join the grocery game thinking that there wouldn't be anything that you would eat. I think you would be surprised how many items you would be saving money by buying.

I bought over 40 items....

I spent 51.09 (with tax) and saved 40.85!!!

Yippee!! This was a 44% savings.

Great sales this week for Meijer and Kroger!!!

Wonderful sales this week at Meijer and Kroger....

Last night, I printed my Meijer and Kroger list from the grocery game and I am thrilled because there a ton of items that my family will eat that are on sale for CHEAP!!

Check it out and get your coupons ready to shop!!!

Coupon tip!!

I want to share with all of you that I highly recommend that you subscribe to a newspaper that is associated with a large city. For example, we live in Central Illinois and I just started subscribing to the Chicago Tribune. It costs $1.25 for Sunday delivery. I have been joyful that the coupons that come in the Tribune are AWESOME! There are so many more coupons than I receive in my local Sunday paper. This past Sunday, I received twice as many coupons than I did in my local paper.

Many times when I made my grocery list from the grocery game I would be frustrated as I wouldn't have the coupon they were referring to...

Well, not any more!!!

I am so excited because this week I am able to get Mabeline Lip Gloss for FREE!!! I know... I am a dork.... There were a lot of other items as well that I was able to get multiple items for this week because I had an extra paper. There were also some items that the Tribune had coupons for that our paper did not have.

The additional cost of $1.25 is .25 cents more than buying an extra of our local paper, but so worth it.

Something to consider as you join me on this savings adventure!!
