Rockin’ it at Kroger!

I haven’t done really well at Kroger for awhile, partly because of lack of sales and partly because of my freezer cooking adventures. But today, since we got back from vacay and had no fruit, bread, milk, or snacks, and since Kroger has a great sale going on, I dragged the kids in 92-degree weather to the big K.  And it was awesome!! I got all this for $46.85 and got back a $5 catalina for the Kraft cheese which I can spend on whatever I want the next time I go! I saved $46.23 not counting the catalina which was 49% of my bill!

$46.85 at Kroger and I got $5 back!

The Kraft cheese, Fiber One bars, Yoplait, Jell-O pudding, General Mills cereal, Del Monte Fruit, and Capri Sun were part of the “Add Up the Savings” event, where you buy 8 participating items and get $4 off.  I bought 16 items (actually 17, I like to add one to be safe!) and got $8 off. Plus I had coupons for most of those items, for instance Fiber One bars are $2.49 on sale.  I had a 50-cent off coupon from coupons.com, which Kroger doubles to $1. So that makes them $1.49.  Then, because they are part of the buy 8, get $4 off deal, that takes another 50 cents off.  So 99 cents for a box! Woot!  I had a 50 cent off coupon from coupons.com for the Cocoa Puffs which started out at $1.98 so they ended up being 48 cents a box. WOWZERS!  The Yoplait and Jell0-pudding ended up at 79 cents each. Yummers!

I think I am going to have to go back to Kroger with my $5 off catalina and get some more Add Up the Savings items!

How did you do at Kroger this week??

Back from Vacation; Must Shop!

I did manage to hit CVS while on vacation WOOT! – but with only dial-up internetz on my folks’ mountain, I didn’t post about it.  We got back last night so this morning the kids and I hit up Rite Aid and CVS to get some deals early in the week.  I was going through withdrawal!  Here’s what we got!

First, Rite Aid:

DSC02208

Four packs of Pilot Pens BOGO $3.79 – $7.58 (this is the ONLY kind of pen my husband will use, I was stoked to stock up!)
Schick Hydro shave gel $1.99
Garnier Shampoo/Conditioner 2 for $6
Rite Aid sleep aid $8.09 (10% off because of my wellness + discount)
Crest Sensitive Shield $2.69
Total = $26.35

Coupons:

-$5/$25 Rite Aid printable

-$1 Schick Hydro from Sunday’s Smart Source

-$.75 Crest from last week’s P&G

-$2 Two Garnier printables

-$2 Two Garnier Rite Aid video values coupons

– $8 in +UP rewards

=$7.60 + $1.42 tax = $9.02, which I paid on my Rite Aid gift card from previous rebates! WHAT UP!  And I got back 2 +UP rewards for the Garnier, will get $2 Single Check Rebate for the Pilot pens, and $2.69 for the Crest for a total of $6.69 back.  Not too shabby!

Next, I schlepped the children to CVS!

DSC02209

Schick Hydro Razor $8.97
Pull-Ups $9
Huggies Wipes $6
Total = $23.97
coupons:
-$5 Schick Hydro from this Sunday’s Smart Source
-$ 2 Huggies wipes refill CVS CRT from coupon scanner
-$11 ECBs
total= $5.97 plus $1.68 tax = $7.65
the really SAD part is I had a $2 off pull-ups coupon but I left it on my dining room table!! NOOOOOOOO!!! SO depressing. But I got back 7 ECBs, so all in all, not a terrible deal. 3 ECBs were for the Huggies/Pull-Ups an 4 were for the Schick Razor (which incidentally, is for my VERY HAIRY BROTHER!)

So, that’s what I did this week thus far!  What did you buy??

Got my groove back at Rite Aid!

Last week Rite Aid was a total bust for me, so I wanted to get in there early this week and get what I needed and wanted.  PLUS, earlier this week my $30 in Rite Aid gift cards from June’s skin care rebate came in the mail! WOOHOO!  So today I put those gift cards and some coupons to good use!

zero out of pocket and got back $10.99 :)

3 Pepsi 12-packs $10.98
2 Purex 3-in-1 laundry sheets (for my BFF!) $6
Nivea for Men body wash $1.99
Listerine Pocket Paks (hubs loves these!) $3.99
Colgate Sensitive toothpaste (for my BFF’s MOM, dang I am a good friend. RIGHT??) $3
Total = $25.96

Coupons:

-$5/$25 Rite Aid printable

-$1 Colgate Sensitive printable

-$2 two $1 off Purex printables

-$1 Listerine Rite Aid Video Values coupon

-$.50 Listerine pocket paks from insert awhile back

-$1 Nivea for Men from this Sunday’s inserts

total=$15.46 + $1.47 tax = $16.93

piad with $1 +UP reward and paid $15.93 on my Rite Aid gift card and I got back 8 +UP Rewards (2 for Pepsi, 1 for Purex, 3 for Colgate, 1 for Listerine, and 1 for Nivea for Men) and will get back a $2.99 SCR for the Listerine also!  PLUS the Listerine and Colgate count towards an Oral care rebate for August where you buy $15 and get $5 back. So I am on my way to earning that one as well! WOOT!

And I still have $14.07 left on my Rite Aid gift card for next time. Gotta love a ZERO out-of-pocket trip!
