I don’t often make the trek to Kroger since it’s 3 times as far as my regular grocery stores, but they were having a particularly good sale. The “mega savings” deal where you get an extra $5 off when you buy 10 of the participating items is a winner in my book. Add to that sale prices and double-coupons (up to 50¢) and there were some great opportunities.

Here’s what I got for $10.55

Kroger Mega Savings - $10.55 buys a LOT

Kroger Mega Savings - $10.55 buys a LOT

That’s 8 cans of Ro-Tel, on sale for .87 each, coupon for .30 off one (x2), plus .50 off per can for the Mega Savings = FREE

Eight bottles of mustard (ought to last us a year), on sale for 1.49, .50 off one coupon (x2), and .50 Mega Savings = FREE

5 cartons of Daisy Sour Cream, 16 oz., on sale for 1.99, coupon for .50 off one (x2), .50 Mega Savings = .49 each

4 blocks of Kraft 2% Cheese, 8 oz.,  1.99, coupon for .75, .50 Mega Savings = .74 each

3 pkgs Nestle Cookie Dough, 2.45, coupon for 1.00, .50 Mega Savings = .95 each

2 boxes, one each of Wheat Thins & Triscuits, 2.20, coupon for $2 off 2, .50 Mega Savings = .70 each

2 packages of Twizzlers, 16 oz., 2.17 each, coupon for $2 off when you buy 2 (this is the only thing that wasn’t part of the mega savings event)

Plus sales tax, not a bad haul, and well worth the trip. I did forget to get the Hormel Chili and Cottonelle TP, but will get them tomorrow when I’m off thrift store shopping with a friend.

Oh, and the best part, I got TWO catalinas worth $1 each off any Kroger purchase, so my REAL total was only $8.55.
