Kroger- Wednesday, October 28

So first I stopped at Brookshire's, but they didn't triple my coupon, so I just left. Gracie, maybe their policy has changed or something. I have not had this trouble until today at Brookshire's.

So here's my kroger trip! I will probably go again soon because we want to make pumpkin pie and there are some great deals to be had!
