Kroger Trip 10/26

I spent most of the morning putting together my shopping list for Kroger.  Today was the last day of the sale ad, so I wanted to make sure I didn't miss out on anything.  I usually wait until my husband gets home and go shopping by myself, but he has meetings today and a new evening tutoring job tonight, so I hurried so that I could make sure I got to the store with both kids before the crowds got there after work.  I am not a fan of crowds, especially with two small children.

They were out of some things that I planned to get, but what else can I expect when I wait until the last day.  Here is what I got:

Shelf Price:  $84.64

Sale Price:  $63.74

Price After Coupons:  $28.35

Price Paid After $25 Pharmacy Coupon Deduction:  $3.35  (Savings of 95%)

I also had a coupon for the yogurt that I somehow forgot to give to the cashier, so I should have saved another $1.  Oh well, I will be buying more.  I now have plenty of pizza and biscuits.  I didn't even have a coupon for the waffles, but we've been out for a while.  I keep telling myself I was going to make my own and freeze them, but that has not exactly happened yet, and I needed 4 more frozen items for the mega sale...

I wish I could tell you that I have done all the shopping I need to do for a while, but sadly (and gladly) tomorrow is payday and new sale ads will start.  If the sales are good, I will probably hit the stores again.  I'm so glad I got my coupons back in order.

I am trying to make sure I have plenty of food around because my mom and grandparents are getting here Friday night so visit for a week.  That probably means I should stop fussing with the groceries and focus on more pressing matters, like that sink full of dishes over there...
