Kroger Trip 7/18 - LOTS of Deals!

Country music lovers from across the US and Canada have descended upon our area for the weekend for their annual outdoor music festival. While we usually try to avoid the grocery store and mall during this weekend, I couldn't pass up the deals at Kroger today! Here's what we ended up with:

Spent: $76.68 plus tax
Saved: $101.36
Catalinas for Next Trip: $3.00 ($1 Kleenex, $2 Yoplait)

Some of my favorite deals were ones where I paired the $5 off 10 item deal with our store's triple coupon weekend. Here are a few highlights (final prices are after $.50 per item from the $5 off 10 promo):

• 2 Sobe Lifewater - $1.19 each
  Used buy 1 - get 1 free coupon
  Final Price: $.19 each
• 1 Colgate Kids toothpaste - $2.50
  Used $.75 off coupon from 6/28 SmartSource (expires today)
  Note: There was also a Cellfire coupon loaded on my Kroger card for this. I can't keep track of what's there when I'm focused on triple coupons! I wish they would fix the system to override it when you have a paper coupon!

Overall, it was a good day for deals. Between this trip and the last one, we're well-stocked!
