Kroger & Publix 2/8/09

I went to two grocery stores this week.  There were deals at both I wanted to take advantage of.  First off is Kroger.  They had a buy 10 get $5 off deal for some things that I needed (lean cuisine, pizza and waffles).  I also love Vitamin water and they have them 10 for $10.  I had a coupon for a free Kashi frozen entree, plus they were 15% off.  Used a Target coupon for the OJ which was already on sale.  And bought two pop tarts at $1.99 plus used two $0.55 off coupons.

Spent:  $39.90

Saved:  $26.91

Was back on track this week at Publix, saving more than I spent.  Penny item was cookies, yummy!  Chicken was on sale for $1.99 a pound.  Ore Idea Steam and Mash potatoes were buy 1 get 1 free, plus I had a $1 coupon.  Best trick is using two coupons for cat litter (manufacturer coupon and food lion coupon).  Picked up strawberries for $1.67.  Also bought a couple buy 1 get 1 free, but only bought one.  Most people don't realize you don't have to buy 2 to get the deal.  They just give you one at half the cost.  Had a coupon for a free del monte 100 calorie fruit can.  And used a $1 off coupon to get Muir Glen tomato sauce for free, actually made about $0.15 on it.

Spent:  $23.45

Saved:  $29.61

That's $53 worth of food for only $23!
