Kroger Savings!


I have to admit, I have NOT been a fan of Kroger for some time now. Maybe it was just the one by my house which is set up so rediculous it's not easy to shop there, but I have gone in recently a few times to get deals, and I admit...there are good deals to be had. I think I am converting! I just wish mine wasn't set up so rediculous, overall I will stick with Lowes Foods, but will stop there to search for deals once a week or every so often! The items pictured cost me $16.68 and several were free items and many a really great steal.
Some deals worth mentioning:
FREEBIES: Toilet paper (used .50/1 coupons that doubled, got all 5 packages free!), Diet Dr. Pepper was free (used a freebie coupon I signed up for by mail).
Manager Specials: I got 3 packages of turkey meat for $1.29 each on manager special, and Perdue Shortcuts pre cut chicken breast strips were on manager special for 1.99 and I had 2 coupons for 1/1...so got those for .99 cents each (down from 3.99!).
Apples and pears were 10lbs/$10, baguette on sale for 1.00 and milk for $1.50! I also got 4 yogurts @.55 each and used 1.00/4 coupon so they ended up being .30 a piece.
*A couple weeks ago I got lots of good meat on manager special sale but I think I was too late this week. I need to scope those deals Saturday night and Sunday! I think I am becoming a regular now!!

Harris Teeter Triple Coupons Round 2


I couldn't believe it when heard that Harris Teeter was doing triple coupons once again, so soon to the last time! I had not been stocking up on several papers each week so my coupon stack is decent, but not like the last time! I did manage to snag some deals, but I suspect that not all the cheese coupons rang up tripled so I will be going back to check for that. But overall, some good deals, some freebies, and I have plans to go back for more!
Some things worth mentioning:
Kraft 2% shredded cheese packages were $0.23 a package
100 Cal Hostess Boxes for 89 cents
Powerade Zero = FREE after coupons
French's mustard = 50 cents
Chock Full of Nuts coffee = 52 cents
OOP: about $21
Coupon savings $29 plus VIC savings
