Jun. 26, 2008 - My Kroger Deals This Week
The Kroger stores in my area double coupons daily up to .50 (in other words, up to a .50 coupon will be doubled, anything over .50 only counts once). I realize I am very blessed to have three different grocery stores in my area that double coupons (two of them double coupons up to .99). For those of you who do not have this opportunity, shopping the sales and using coupons are still worth it! For those of you who have this blessing where you live and do not take advantage of it, shame on you!
So here is what I will try to get out to Kroger for this week based on what was in the Sunday ad:
1) Cheez-Its (12-16 oz.) $1.98 Hubby loves the white cheddar ones, and the cheapest I can get them without sales and coupons is usually more than $2.75. This is a great deal!
2) Kroger brand Hot dog and Hamburger buns $1.00 for an 8-pack It has been a long time since I have bought buns, but I am thinking this is a pretty good deal.
3) Betty Crocker Fruit Snacks 3/$5.00 (about $1.66 each) I will combine with a coupon that is .50 off 2. The coupon will be doubled to give me $1 off, making them $1.16 each.
4) Ragu pasta sauce $1.55 each I will use a coupon for $1 off 3 jars making them about $1.22 each. I can get generic sauces for cheaper at my Super Target, but I do not prefer the taste of those.
5) Purex laundry detergent 2/$5 (this includes the HE ones) I will not be buying these as I get a Seventh Generation brand from Lowes Foods. However, I used to buy this brand, and I can tell you for these days, this is an excellent price for laundry detergent.
6) Bounty Basic paper towels .99 per roll. I will use a .25 coupon. The coupon will be doubled to give me .50 off, making it a .49 roll.
7) Lawry's Marinade .99 per bottle This is an excellent price even if you do not have a coupon for it. I will use a .50 coupon which will be doubled, making this a free item for me. I have two coupons, so I will get two free bottles!
8) Hormel marinated pork tenderloin (18.4 oz.) $5.99 I do not have a coupon for this item, but it is cheaper than the usual $6 or $7 it costs at my Super Target.
9) Organic red, seedless grapes $1.99/lb. I don't buy a lot of organic yet as I try to keep my costs down, but when a deal like this comes along, I cannot pass it up. Anytime I see organic produce offered for about the same price as regular produce, I try to get it.
10) Organic peaches and nectarines $1.99/lb.
Deals I will check on:
1) Steamfresh Veggies (10-16 oz.) $1.99 I know a 12 oz. bag at Super Target is $1.29. I need to compare the size and price to my usual store before knowing if this is a deal or not. Unfortunately, I don't have a coupon for these this week!
2) Nature's Own Bagels (22 oz.) buy one, get one free The price for this is not listed in the ad. This is fairly new and not something I have bought before. Still, two for one is usually a better deal than what I can get at Super T. And, I have a .55 off coupon.
I am editing this to add that I just looked at the ad that was in my mailbox yesterday, and I see some more deals because they are having a 4-day sale through Saturday. So here is what else I will try to pick up:
1) Breyer's Ice Cream $1.99 (Limit 4 per shopping trip) Can you say "AWESOME DEAL"?! The best price on these without a sale is $3-something at Super Target. Hubby is a big Breyer's eater so we will stock up on these and put them in our garage freezer.
2) Kroger Novelties (these are different frozen treats) 3/$5 (about $1.66 each) I will get some of these to stick in the freezer for my girls this summer.

The ice cream deals were great!
Our Kroger does the double coupon thing, however, they have the highest prices in town, so it often isn't a good deal. When I look through coupons, I might find two-three coupons I'd actually use.
Here is how I manage to save money:
Plan my menu by the meat that is on sale. Also, I write out the extras I need to complete the meal, so that I can buy all of them at once, saving on constant trips to the store.
Laundry soap -- I save HUGE amounts of money, not to mention help the environment because I no longer buy the big plastic jugs for laundry soap. I make my own laundry soap. It runs about .04 a load!
Bread - The bread store -- it costs me .50-.69 depending on what day I buy it.
Pasta sauce -- I am learning to make ALL of my own sauces now. Hollandaise, spaghetti, pizza, barbeque, etc. Much cheaper. It may take a little time, but it's worth it.
One of our Kroger stores closed this week. I got lots of stuff 75% off, plus many things at 50% off. Our kitchen uses 2 indoor floodlights. They run over $6 a bulb. They only cost me $1.65! I stocked up on them since we use those lights the most. Also got some make up for $2 each, some organic food for about $1 each, vitamins were 75%. I also got an 8-pack of the off-brand white soap for $2.10. If it's too harsh to use on sensitive body parts, I will save it for making my version of the Bath & body hand soaps.
Keep up the good work on saving money!
