Kroger- Wednesday, 09/09/09
This was a small trip. I didn't really have much to go for, but I like to go, so off we went. We managed to get a few deals. Now that I look at my receipt, I'm not sure how the math added up. I think the cashier was a little confused, but it made for some good deals!
1 gallon milk - $2.69
2 Minute Maid Frozen Lemonade - on sale for $1 each
1 Hefty One Zip Freezer Bags - on sale for $1, had coupon that made it free
I used a raincheck, which took $1.99 off my total.
Total before Savings: $11.52
Total Spent: $1.86
Total Saved: $9.66 (84%)
That's from my receipt, so I'm not complaining how it added up!

Brookshires- Sunday, September 6, 2009
No picture today, but we did go to Brookshire's last night. Last week when we went, we got a catalina for $3.00 off our next purchase. I wanted to get some free laundry detergent while we could, and we needed some milk. We ended up getting some cheese too to make quesadillas.
All laundry detergent- on sale for $3.99, used $1.00 off coupon (with $3.00 catalina - free!)
1 gallon milk- $2.89
1 block Kraft cheese- on sale for $1.50
Used $3.00 catalina
Total before any savings: $13.52
Total after: $4.87
Total saved: (65%)
So we only paid for milk and cheese. Woo hoo!

Brookshires- Wednesday, September 2, 2009
Brookshires is normally expensive, but every so often, they do run a good sale on something we need. This week was one of those weeks. Tombstone pizzas were B1G1! We have been buying Tombstones for about a month now because of this rebate. We also found our beloved Patio Burritos that Walmart has stopped carrying, so we bought a couple.
4 Tombstone Pizzas
2 Patio Burritos
Total before savings: $24.47
Total after savings: $12.93
Total saved: $11.54 (47)%
BUT when you buy 4 Tombstone pizzas, you get a catalina for $3.00 off your next purchase at Brookshires. I now need to look at my coupons (they triple $0.60 and less) and figure out what to get for that $3.00.
Also, remember to take your own grocery bags! Brookshire's takes $0.05 off per bag; Kroger $.03. It adds up!
If you are thinking about starting to use coupons- don't bother buying Sunday's paper. There won't be any coupons in it. :)

Tuesday, September 1, 2009
We didn't really need much today, but today was the last day for Wonderbread to be $1 and I had a coupon that would make it free. I ran into the Kroger in Madison when school got out to discover 5 carts full of 'manager's specials.' I dug through and got Bisquick and 2 muffin mixes. I also found that even though their sale week starts tomorrow, the prices were already marked today. But I left some coupons at home! So I got the few things at the Madison Kroger, went home to grab coupons, then headed to the Ridgeland Kroger (Madison was also out of the $10/10 Hefty One-Zip Bags I wanted. I have a coupon that would make them free.) So we set out for the Ridgeland Kroger. Well they were also out of the Hefty Bags, but we only spent $0.18! (I did get a rain check for the Hefty bags though, the manager even wrote it so I can get ANY package of Hefty bags for $1!)
Transaction 1 (Madison):
Bisquick - normally $4.99, manager's special for $2.00. I didn't have a coupon.
2 Muffin Mixes - normally $1.29 each, manager's special $.50 each, had coupon that made both free
2 loaves of Wonderbread - $10/10, had coupons that made both free
2 bottles Hunts ketchup - $10/10 each
1 bottle Kroger Ranch dressing - $10/10, had coupon that made it $0.40
Total before savings: $18.12
Total spent: $ 4.82
Total savings: 74%
Transaction 2 (Ridgeland):
1 Cattleman's BBQ sauce - $10/10, had coupon that made it free
1 French's Yellow Mustard - $10/10, had coupon that made it free
1 French's Honey Mustard - $10/10, found coupon on Yellow Mustard that made it free
1 Dial Handsoap - $10/10, had coupon that made it free
Total before savings: $9.86
Total spent: $0.18 (all tax)
Total savings: 100% <------- this was very exciting!
Hunt's ketchup will actually be $0.88 Friday-Sunday at Brookshire's. I should have looked before I leaped!
