Kroger deals March 14th-20th
Hey, Kroger's new march into savings sale has started! It's a buy 8 items get $4 off event. I went yesterday and did quite well.
Brandy at I prefer Publix has the matchups for our area HERE except the meat. I can tell you a few deals there.
Laura's Lean beef 1lb. chub: $2.79
-$1/1 IP
Plus there is the $1.50 off of fresh beef when you buy classico pasta sauce SS 3/14 and the Classico is part of the sale!
Family packs of Pork Chops $1.79lb
I did buy these this time to try again. Kroger isn't my favorite for pork and they were ok. Still not my favorite:)
Split chicken breasts: .99lb (I think) they were really cheap but I didn't pick up any.
I have to go back into today for my newspapers so I will check on a few more prices.

Weekly totals: March 7-13
Here are my totals for this week. I tried to hit CVS today after a long drought of good deals. Still not much. They were out of the Stayfree- the only really good deal right now, hopefully I 'll get it before the month ends. I wish they'd get some good deals happening. I miss CVSing. I'm going to try Rite Aid, I think this week. They seem to be having a TON of deals. So far I've been avoiding it, but it's time to dive in!
I am also planning a Kroger trip tomorrow, so check back for the deals!
Totals:
Spent: $64.67
Saved: $278.79
Looks like I went to Publix the most this week. Combined totals for 3 trips:
Spent: $32.58
Saved: $159.43
This includes tablecloths and a few forgotten q's hate that but still not bad!

Kroger 3/9
I had to go to Kroger today to make sure I got this past Sunday's paper with my two boys. Not so much fun but there is both good and bad news.
The good: Nature's Bounty is still BOGO- until the 27th! As is Sundown.
Also, the Energizer batteries are still $1 so with the .75 q from the tearpads that have been around forever only .25! The tearpads at my store were gone, but I had 6 from over the last few months.
Annie's Mac and cheese only $1 a box! I never saw this advertised so hopefully a deal at other stores too!
The Bad: Those ecoupons that you get from playing the basketball game at the Kroger website? Didn't come off. I have "won" a $5 off your order and a free King size Reese's PB cup ( which I bought as a bribe for the boys and was suppose to be free). So I will have to contact Kroger about that.
Secondly, I bought theses Betty Crocker pouch potatoes- something I don't buy and we don't eat- but I had thought to get overage- forgetting that at Kroger, mq double but only up to the point where there are free. There was still overage possible IF you had the ecoupon but I forgot that while I searched for it, I didn't ever find it.
So:
Spent: $18.95 (should be $6 less- and I've always gotten e-coupons credited.....)
Saved: $69.17

Publix 3/7 and 3/9
I've had two good Publix trips this week at DIFFERENT Publix stored than my fav Maryland Farms.
On Sunday I went to Nipper's Corner, generally not known for coupon friendliness but I had a great manager training a cashier and she appreciated all my examples to train him on! She was very nice!
I did forget one $2 off coupon to that is a bummer. I also bought 2 tablecloths on clearance that totally $3.07 for both, so a little more there than I planned but will be great for camping.
Spent: $17.68
Saved: $74.58
Including extras and errors.
Trip #2 I had a few minutes during my son's gymnastics class to get in my last Publix trip- I wanted to get my pasta sauce that I didn't get on Sun as I was waiting for my Multiply Your Savings booklet to come in the mail and it did! And I found another one at the Fieldstone Farms Publix. There were nice to and are keen to get couponers business - a pleasant change from those who would rather we stayed away!- but on the downside, their prices are MUCH higher. I wanted to get more Quaker bars before the sale ended too and they were actually .50 more a piece there- not that I noticed til after I bought them and compared receipts at home but that's a lot!
Spent: $3.52
Saved: $33.21

Weekly totals- Feb 28- mar 6
A little late in posting; been a crazy weekend.
Totals:
Spent: $66.08
Saved: $341.75
I made my monthly Trader Joe's trip and a very small Whole Foods trip, as they didn't have our soy yogurt in. But in my strange way of figuring, I take off the cost of the yogurt from my Kroger bill (they carry a smaller selection of flavors) and add it to my WF bill, to keep it straight in MY head at least:)
Totals: $94.02
A breakdown:
Kroger
Spent: 40.45 (two trips)
Saved: $192.49
Wags:
Spent: $8.67 (two trips)
Saved:$81.30
I only went to Publix once:
Spent: $3.82
Saved: $39.35
And I went to Target which I try not to do too much. I always spend more than I plan to there!
Spent: $13.75
Saved: $28.61 and submitted for Olay $15 rebate.
Of course, I had planned for the $5 gift card for the Olay too, but I guess it was over by the time I did this deal as I did not get it:(

Kroger deals and profile
I went to the Nolensville Rd Kroger at Concord Rd. to test out their claim to take Publix coupons as a competitor. I mentioned this at our class on Sat, but wanted to see what happened when I actually came in with one. I only used 4: 2 Sundown and 2 Men's Sure deodorant. These are actually a better deal at Kroger right now, IF you can use the Publix coupon.
Sure $2
-$1.50 mq from SS 2/28
-1.00 Publix green advantage buy store q. =
-.50 overage!
Sundown BOGO until March 6.
Folic Acid $2.89 for 2
-1/1 mq x2 RP 2/21, RP 1/24
-6/2 Publix store coupon=
-5.11 overage on two!
It did not go seamlessly- the cashier did have to ask, the bagger gave her opinion- (could only take one of the $6/2) but in the end all 4 were taken off. I do try to limit this at it IS a loss to the store and I think they are more willing to do it in lower quantities. On the other hand, I could easily have gone across the street to Publix for the same items for overage there too (not as much, but I had that option)
I also had overage with the Nature's bounty q's explained here.
Other deals:
The Nature valley granola bars are a good deal and the catalina DOES print. Buy 4, get $3 off next order.
They are $2.29 ea
-.40 IP which doubles to .80
-.40 cellfire/shortcuts
=1.09 ea
I had 4 mq and 4 ecoupons for a total of 4 for $4.36 then- $3 catalina= 1.36 for all 4 boxes!
HOw did I get I get 4 ecoupons to come off? Not planned but I had one each already loaded from both cellfire and shortcuts, then they both had new ones to load so I did and all 4 came off.
General Mills cereal 2.99 these are the HUGE boxes so $1.45 is a good price for these.
-1 mq (various- see Southern Savers list)
.55 ecoupons
I bought two- sadly couldn't find my Honey Nut Cheerios q but will go back for that one.
The Cart Buster savings event goes through March 13th, I believe.
Laura's Lean beef $2.79!
-1/1 IP
This is regularly $4.99, and the shelf tag says it's $3.45 but it rings up at $2.79 for the 1lb chub.
What didn't match up with SSsavers list?
Arnold's bread is not BOGO but is on sale for $1.99, not too bad but I've seen better.
Also, I didn't see any Reach toothbrushes for $1.
On the plus side, Sunday papers are $1 after Sunday and they had tons. I was there last SAT and they still had them left. SO a great resource if you didn't get enough papers on any given Sunday (like me yesterday). I bought 3 there today.
Totals:
OOP $20.29 ($6.19 of that tax)
Saved: 96.81

MONTHLY Totals:
Regular budget: $285.50
TJ/WF: $136.91
Total spent: $422.41
Saved: $1,110.27
So not bad. Trying to get under $400 now. Budget was set at $425 so I did make it!

Coupon Disappointment/extra papers
This is a good week to get extra papers; there are certainly some good coupons this week.
I was disappointed though, that we didn't get the Tropicana OJ coupon. This is a staple in our house. My youngest HAS to have it in the morning- it's his coffee! I did buy some already on Ebay but that won't help my tomorrow when I finally head to HT to hit up Super doubles. I had been waiting specifically for THIS coupon. Oh well. We may get it next week, who knows. It's listed on Hot Coupon World for this week and next. But again, won't help with the sale that ends this Tues.
Where to get papers: CVS has them for $1 with your Extra care card but BEWARE!! they are often missing the coupon inserts. I checked through 8 plus papers at my favorite CVS (Nolensville and Haywood) a couple weeks ago when there were 4 inserts and not one had ANY inserts. NONE. Zero. And during the ice storm, I had to look through 4 to find just one that had both inserts at the Brentwood CVS. So always check!
So now I get them at Publix where, for a time, they are $1.19. The Tennessean seems to cycle through the stores that get a deal. It's been .99 at Walgreens and Kroger too, but not currently. And they all tell me the price is set by the Tennessean, not the stores.
