My Kroger Deals 8/17!

I had a great time this morning shopping at Kroger! Almost nothing thrills me as much as a good deal and they are plentiful this week at Kroger. General Mills and PepsiCo sent me a $30 Kroger gift card so I could show you all the great deals going on now. The items in the photo above were $30.49 (including tax) after my Kroger card and coupon savings, so the total out of MY pocket was just .49!

Since it's hard to see what some of the items are in the photo, here's what I bought. I hope I'm right on all the prices because I'm going by memory on the coupons! For every 10 items, I saved $5.

• 2 Boxes of Trix Swirls Cereal .94 each after coupons and savings
• 2 Boxes of Fruity Cheerios .99 each after coupons and savings
• 2 2-Liters Sierra Mist .49 after savings
• 1 2-Liter Mt. Dew .49 after savings
• 2 2-Liter Diet Pepsi .49 after savings
• 4 Grands Biscuits .49 after coupons and savings
• 2 Pillsbury Cinnamon Rolls .49 each after coupons and savings
• 2 Pillsbury Crescent Rolls .49 each after coupons and savings
• 2 Pillsbury Toaster Strudels .99 each after coupons and savings
• 10 Cans of Green Giant canned vegetables .75 each after savings
• 1 Trix Yogurt $1.49 after coupon and savings

I also did this Unilever deal. When you spend $15 on certain products, you save $5. So I bought:

• 4 Ragu Spaghetti Sauce
• 6 Ragu Pizza Sauce
• 2 Lipton Tea Bags

I had .60/2 Ragu Coupons and $1 off 1 Lipton coupons, so my total for all of that was $7.70!

• Man Coupon Savings: $7.45
• Bonus Coupon Savings: $2.60
• Kroger Plus Savings: $48.68
• Total Savings(66%): $58.73

• Total Amt Due: $30.49
• Paid by Gift Card: $30
• Paid by Cash: .49

That was for 42 items!

Most of the coupons I used were printed from the banner over to the right. (See the one that says "print coupons?") I have some more Pillsbury coupons so I'm going to hit Kroger again before this sale is over!
