I finally made it to Kroger! It has been a good three weeks since I shopped at Kroger and we were in desperate need of groceries. Unfortunately, my coupons are a mess again. With my work schedule, the boys sports schedule and summer fun something had to give. I did have a few free product coupons and a couple other coupons that my mom clipped and mailed to me. Yes, I am a little spoiled with my mom clipping coupons for me!
Overall, I only used 14 coupons and bought 65 products. That is not the norm for me as far as coupons go. I am happy with my shopping trip overall considering I didn’t use that many coupons! I did have a $5 Kroger gift card and a $4/$20 produce coupon which helped a lot.
I did buy the (15) bottled drinks for $10. These are great to take along with all of our summer activities. I also purchased a lot of produce, dairy items and 3lbs. of ground turkey. I also found several things on closeout: popcorn for $0.49, vegetable broth for $0.89, cookies for $0.99, whole wheat bread for $1.39 and whole wheat buns for $0.89.
Spent: $85.57
Saved: $75.38 (46%)
What I do when I don’t have a lot of coupons to use is compare prices. Generally I am not brand specific and I only buy things that are on sale. I design our menu plan around what is on sale and what we have in the pantry.
How did you do this week? Score any good deals?

We have been making a menu since middle of May and it sure helps! Last week, I didn’t have tons of coupons either for Kroger, but needed meat. It’s on my blog. :)
