Do I have a story for you....... couponing at KROGER'S!




Today I had a ear doctor appointment and took the afternoon off work. So I decided to stop by a Kroger that I don't normally go to. Well here's what I got (not everything is in the picture as I had put some in the freezer and started putting it up when I thought I needed to take a picture.


20 bags of Green Giant Steamers
20 Jars Frank Hot Sauce
10 Jars Kraft Real Mayo and Miracle Whip
4 box's of Nature Valley bars
20 cans Rotel Tomatoes
10 French's Mustard
3 Russel Stover Heart Candy (shhhh 1 is for Zeke's teacher)

So anyways, I get the checkout and Kroger is having a buy certain item's sale and get 5.00 extra dollar's back. So all the above with the exception of the candy and the Nature Valley were on this deal. So with my coupons and the extra 40.00 off my amount came to MINUS 1.60. The checker said here is your change and handed me 1.60. I said I don't think you owe me this, because I didn't pay you anything. He said Oh yes, it says I do and I'm to give it to you. I thought OK buddy but I don't think your register is going to come out right. I took the money and my cart full and smiled all the way to the car. How's that for deals.


P.S. I forget the daisy sour cream and my Cottonelle coupons at home... so I'll have to go back. I forgot all about DH telling me that we were out of room. Now I'm waiting on my DD (darling daughter) to come shop! : )

  1. I'm trying very hard not to hate you guys with a Kroger. The only grocery store we have is Winn-Dixie. :( Well, and Rouses. Neither have deals like that!

    Congrats on your awesome shopping trip!

  2. Awesome!! You go girl!! So, did you have to do more than one transaction or did it all work together? I went shopping earlier this week and spent $53 on a lot of different stuff. Overall, I had a 70% savings, but oh how I wish I could say I had a 100+% savings :)
    I know one thing, my cashier would have never given me that money back. She was so aggravated at me for no good reason and while she was scanning my q's she was shakin her head sayin, "this is crazy." I just smiled and so "no, it's crazy how much money I save." :)
    Just curious, did you find that Mayo and Mircle Whip on clearance because while I was shopping I noticed a worker pulling one's out and overheard him talking about that they were expiring in June and July.

  3. Awesome job - I just love the steamers - and we get them free! every few months there is a Valley Fresh coupon for $1.00/1 and I get as many as I can find - last time I bought 22 bags of valley fresh veggies for next to nothing at Walmart!
