Okay, I was on a super limited budget this week AND had to buy food to keep my husband entertained for a couple of days while I'm gone on business.
Normally, I'd be scared :) BUT, I've been collecting my coupons, printing coupons from the internet and scouring my sales ad, so I felt pretty confident.
My husband was SOOOOO impressed when I saved us $30.43 off of our total bill, bringing the total down to just $59.96. That didn't include any bottle returns, and it included a package of Pampers diapers and a 6 pack of Michelob Ultra Amber. Pretty darn good if I may say so myself.
My biggest savings:
Lean Pockets
Normally $2.31
On Sale 5/$10
Plus, buy 10 get $5 off the total order, so they were really 5/$5
THEN, I had a coupon for $1.50 off of 5 AND another coupon for $1.00 off of 5.
Kroger doubled my $1.00 off coupon....
so I got 5 for $1.50 or $.50 EACH!!!!
Michelina Lean Gourmet's
Normally $1.29
On Sale 10/$10
Plus, I had two $1 off of 5 coupons, which Kroger doubled...
So I got 10 for $6 or $.60 each
Campbell's Condensed Soup
Normally $1.69
On Sale 10/$10
Plus, I had a coupon for $.25 off 4, which Kroger doubled
So, I got 4/$3.50 or $.88 each
I didn't buy Soup at Hand this week as it wasn't on sale nor did I have a coupon, so these Lean Gourmets will be my lunch this week. They'll be just right accompanied by a little salad.
I couldn't resist buying one more French's Mustard. We go through alot, and they are normally $1.79 each. They are on sale 10/$10.
AND I had a coupon for $.30 off one, which Kroger doubled.
So, I got one for $.40.
My husband thinks I ROCK!

Good Job.
One thing I really like about them is I can always find good meat on sale, and then freeze it.
I need to buy a new laptop or notebook computer. I will go to Giant-Eagle, use my Discover card--for which I receive cash or gift cards--to buy gift cards--which will generate gas savings--go to Best Buy and use my zone card--for which I earn points for certificates to be used later. I think I must be starting to like shopping.
