Elizabeth's Kroger Trip 4/29/2010

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:

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)

B1G1 Free SoBe printable

$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.
