Here’s the run down from yesterday:
Total: $122.18
- Sales: $36.73
If I ONLY shopped using store sales, my cash total would have been: $85.45
But, by using $29.00 in coupons…my total ended up as:
$56.45
I could have gotten closer to my fifty dollar target…but wouldn’t you know it? No sooner did I get through the produce section, my calculator STOPPED WORKING! Of course, I tried keeping track in my head, but you know how that goes – the phone is ringing, my deli meat wasn’t priced correctly (because I would have NEVER paid $8 for a pound of lunch meat) AND I forgot my pen to keep my list in order.
Total tragedy. Really.
Had I realized I was a whole six bucks over my goal, the extra bag of Sunchips and extra box of Drumstix would have gone back – because we don’t need those anyway.
Here is how some of the deals work out:
(Attention At-Home players, please follow along. Also, please remember, Kroger doubles coupons $.50 and under everyday, so some of my values stated are doubled.)
- 4 Boxes Kellogg’s cereal: $7.52 – (2x) $1/2 Cellfire – (2x) $1/2 Sunday Q’s = $3.52 for FOUR
- 2 Nestle Drumstix: $5.00 – (2x) $1 Sunday Q’s = $3.00 for TWO boxes
- 2 Ragu Sauce: $3.46 – $1/2 Sunday Q = $2.46 for TWO
