So I just got back from Kroger. They’re doing a deal this week where if you buy 10 certain items, you get $5 off your order (basically a 50-cent savings on each item). Combined with coupons, it’s a heck of a deal.
So armed with my mountain of coupons, I bought 40 of the special items to get $20 off my order (had to do it in 2 orders because there is a limit of 3). All in all I bought 58 items, and spent $77.18. My total savings was $112.89, which works out to about 60%.
If I’d just bought the items in the $5 off 10 deal, my savings probably would have been over 80% (it was 84% savings on my second order which was just 10 items). But I bought our Thanksgiving turkey, apples, stew meat, margarine, milk and a few other items that are necessities but weren’t in the $5 off 10 deal.
I got bonus savings of 15 cents for bringing reusable bags.
I also saved $1.70 with coupons I loaded to my Kroger card. This is over and above any printed coupons I had.
So I got some Betty Crocker Boxed potatoes for free (actually they paid me to buy them!), a free ScotchBrite scrub sponge, and free toilet paper too. Yay free stuff!
Then I got home and got the mail (should have got it before we left!), and had a packet of coupons from Kroger. Lots of free items. I also got a magazine from Kroger that had 3 pages of coupons in it.
Our pantry is overflowing now!
