So I also went to Kroger last night. This was the first time I've couponed at a grocery store. I've been sticking to Walgreens, CVS and Target, and while I did not know exactly how the couponing would work here (what would double triple, etc) I decided to just buy the list and see what happened.
Here's the loot:
$1.00 - Green Giant Frozen Boxed Vegetables

$1.00 - SoBe Water
$1.59 - Mission Tortillas
$2.99 - Mirra Makeup Brush
$2.99 - Mirra Makeup Brush
$29.41 - Total before tax and coupons
Coupons (remember that Kroger triples coupons up to $0.39 and doubles up to $0.50 excluding cellfire coupons):
$5/2 (this means $5 off the purchase of 2) Mirra Makeup Coupon (this made them $0.98 for the pair) $0.50/2 Green Giant Boxed Vegetables (from Cellfire loaded onto my Kroger Card)
$0.50/2 Green Giant Boxed Vegetables printable (these two together with this one doubled made the veggies $0.25 each) $0.40/1 Country Crock printable (made the country crock $0.20) $1.00/1 Dannon Activia Yogurt (this was just a coupon Shanna found at a store somewhere which made the yogurt $1.00 for the 4-pack)
$0.50/1 Fage Yogurt printable (made the yogurt $0.34) $0.30/2 Pillsbury Grands Biscuits (made the biscuits $0.55 each)
$1.00/1 Ronzoni Smart Taste Pasta (I honestly can't remember where I got this coupon but it looked like a magazine cutout and the only magazine I have is the All You mag, but it made the pasta free)
$0.75/1 Ronzoni Smart Taste Pasta printable (made this pasta $0.25) $1.50/4 ConAgra Products printable (2 manwich and 2 chef boyardee - made them $0.63 each) $0.50/1 McCormick Grill Mates printable (made this free) $0.50/1 McCormick Grill Mates printable (made this free) $0.50/1 Speed Stick Deodorant from 4/25 Smart Source Insert (made the deodorant $1.00 - again I bought the wrong one, this was supposed to be free)
$1.00/2 SoBe Kroger eCoupon (these two together made the 2 SoBe's free) $0.75/1 Mission Tortilla printable (made the tortillas $0.84)
Total after tax and coupons - $10.13
Savings of 78%
Although I expected to pay under $5 for all of these items, I'd say $10 isn't too shabby.
