I should note that this was by no means a regular or necessary grocery trip. But since it was the end of the month I went through my already clipped (and my oldest 2 inserts) coupons and pulled anything $0.50 or less (for doubling and tripling) that I thought might get me free or close to free groceries and this is what I came up with. I will most likely make another trip to Kroger before tomorrow with any other deals I read about online (the new ad comes out on Wednesdays).
