Just had a great trip to Kroger! I know I need to get into the picture taking more, but it's been so hot out, I pretty much want to get everything put away ASAP! I promise I'll take one of my Rite Aid trip this week though!
So today:
I did 2 transactions at Kroger:
#1
5 Benevia on clearance 3.99 ea
-5/1 IP x 5
4 shredded cheese $2.99 ea
- 1/2 blinking x2
1 cheese slices $1.79
-.75 mq from Kroger mailer( soccer one I think)
1 clearance soy yogurt .59
1 dessert topping 2.99
-.55 mq
1 Ronzoni smart taste pasta $1
-1/1 q from parents mag
=$12.25
Saved: $33.35 (and this does not include the Benevia clearance price savings which I usually include but didn't)
Earned: $5 cat from Cheese
$2.50 cat from dessert topping
Transaction #2
4 silk soymilk at $2.99 ea
- BOGO x2
-$2/1 x 2
Cereal for Cal $2.39
Soy ice cream for me $2.99
2 Herdez Salsa at $1.79 ea
-.50 MQ bought on Ebay x2
2 packages Laura's lean gr beef on Manager's special at $2.69 ea
2 packages LL gr beef patties on MS at $2.97 ea
-2 off beef when you buy Herdez salsa bought on ebay
6 travel sominex on clearance for .50
-2/1 qs x6 (also bought on Ebay back when this was a MM at Publix, they expire TODAY!)
-$5 cat
-$2.50 cat
= $4.46
Saved: $48.52
YMMV on getting overage at Kroger. Yes, the Sominex coupons beeped but then so did my Silk ones and even my Ronzoni where there was no overage involved. Benevia does not as the original price is $7.99 I think. My cashier pushed them all through.

Finals week of March 14-20
Better late than never? I went a little over last week but still should make my month's goal, or close to it. We seem to always be out of SOMETHING which is frustrating. Now it's meat and cereals my kids like- too bad they don't like Kashi!
Also, I tried Rite Aid for the first time. Not included in my savings is the $25 SCR I'll get back next month!
Totals:
Spent: $71.09
Saved: $376.76
I went to Kroger 3x this week! yikes!
Trip #1
Spent: $19.59
Saved: $143.05- this includes getting my bag of Tyson chicken nuggets for FREE because it rang up wrong- remember to always point that out as Kroger's policy is to give you pricing error items for free (1 of each item only)
Trip #2
This was a quick trip to get my newspapers for $1 and to pick up a few things I forgot the day before!
Spent: $5.71
Saved: $28.36
Trip#3
Spent: $24.59
Saved: $90.46
Spent a little more than planned! They were out of some of my MM and I really needed some things.
I did get free Smart taste Ronzoni pasta though! And am going back for more.
Mega event continues this week.

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.

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

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

I paid 6.23 with tax. This does include an extra.70 off as one of my Purex coupons scanned twice (and doubled) and I DID inform the cashier of this- I was at self- checkout- but he said he couldn't take it off? First I've heard of that but he wasn't concerned about it.
THEN, I received TWO $4 catalinas for $$ off my next order.
Transaction #2
I had a hard time getting up to my 10 items for the second deal- not much I wanted from this sale but I did need the OJ ( i have a terrible cold:))

Spent: $62.48
Saved: $287.87
This is for Sun- Sat this week.
I did the best at CVS and Kroger. Publix actually put my totals up a bit this week!
CVS: Spent $5.51 Saved: $77.73
Kroger: Spent: $17.01 Saved: $71.20
I also tried some walgreens deals. I usually end up spending more than planned there but not too bad this time.

FINAL mega sale shop
I managed to find the Hormel chili blinkie at Publix and went across the street to stock up at Kroger. Did my last 2 mega sale transactions and bought a few extra items with the overage.Whew, I'm glad it's over for a while!
Spent: $5.73 (2.30 tax)
Saved: 69.34
That's more than 95%.

Kroger Feb 4th trip
My last- or next to last if I make it today- trip to Kroger for the mega sale. I actually only did one Mega sale transaction this time but used a ton of overage to buy expensive items we really needed. I did still end up spending $28.42 ($6.20 of that tax) but I saved $110.17! For that amount I did get 5 packs of meat, bunch of produce-inc. two Tropicana OJs, Silk Soymilk, mini luna bars on managers special, and of course the goldfish that I went for with the new coupon that came out.

Kroger Trip Feb 1st
Haven't had time to post this yet. Thanks to some tips from Brandy at I Prefer Piblix, and a customer appreciation catalina I got the previous trip for $7.50 off my order, I had a really good trip to Kroger!
Spent: 22.31
Saved: 109.10
I did the mega sale 3 times
And I bought a few non-sale, never have coupons items, and meat! Not bad for all that I did get.
I have even more deals ready to go now- hope to make it there today or tomorrow!
Kroger isn't usually better than Publix but has been these last few weeks during the mega sale for me!

Thur night trips
I had to shop Thur night before the big snow storm hit today! I went to Food Lion for the first- and last- time for the 60% store closing sale. The shelved were nearly bare by the time I made it there. Found a few things, not sure if it was a good deal or not?
Publix rocked though. Sad to see the Green Advantage expire today- wanted to make one last trip but alas, trapped at home.
OOP: 6.57 (mostly tax)
Saved: 77.56
After the last trip with my bad math, I wanted to make sure I bought enough:) And this was even at the not- so- coupon -friendly Nipper's Corner store. I had to make sure to have more items than coupons as they will not override at this store for that. Nor do they take many competitors but I had only Manuf. and Publix store to use anyway.
Kroger mega sale:
OOP: 29.15
Saved: 50.66
Got back: $3 off catalina for next time for meat
So-so. There are a few q's missing. My tomato one isn't on there nor did one cellfire come off. This also includes Soy yogurt which is part of my Whole Foods/TJ budget.

Kroger List
Brandy at I Prefer Publix is working on a Kroger list for our region. Check her site later on to check it out. Some great deals the next few weeks with the Mega sale.
Update on my earlier post: We did NOT get the Kraft catalina promotion here. So don't hope for it!

Kroger Score!
Gotta love it when you find a great, unexpected deal. I went to the Nippers Corner Kroger this evening (yes, an exciting Sat night for me!) planning on picking up a few Laura's Lean 1 lb beef chubs for 2.99-$1 q. and always hoping to find some on manager's special. INSTEAD, I found my FAVORITE gr. meat- gr. turkey breast for .99 for the package!!! Regular price: $4.69 at Kroger. Around $7 at Publix. I picked up 6 of these for less than the cost of 1 at Publix!!
As for overage, only got $1 over for the pillsbury cinnamon rolls but overage is hard to come by at Kroger, but still did well with manager's specials!
