Super Savings: Krogers, Foodland and CVS

Author: Once again, I’m lacking pictures for this post. I never remember to take photos before I put the groceries away. Sigh.
Anyway, I was really excited about the grocery deals this week. Krogers had a great sale – good sale prices plus bonus money off if you purchased so many items. (Buy 10 items, get $5 off total receipt.) I spent $56.13 oop for $127.98 of groceries! I was thrilled! That’s a savings of 56%!!! I tend to average about 48% savings on a regular week, sometimes a little more, sometimes a little less. So, 56% made me happy, plus I got some items we don’t usually buy. In the end it worked out that I averaged $1.10 per item. I know some individual items worked out as free when combined with coupons, but I can’t tell what the items were based on my receipt. 
Our local Foodland also had a great 10 for $10 sale this week. I usually don’t buy 10 of one item, but I do buy quite a few things for $1 and use my coupons. Part of my groceries included salad for 50 cents, peanut butter for $1, General Mills cereal for $1.50, Daisy sour cream for free after coupons, and two bottles of Marzetti salad dressing for free after coupons. I love free! 
CVS didn’t have too many interesting deals this week, but I did do the Softsoap Spa body wash deal. I purchased 2 bottles in the same transaction ($4.99 each, total $9.98), used $1.75 in coupons, $5 ECB, and part of a $5 gift card from the Hershey’s deal, spent 28 cents oop (not sure why this happened – coupons maybe?), and received $9.98 in ECBs plus $3 in winter spending ECBs.
Overall, it was a satisfying week of shopping. I don’t think I’ll be grocery shopping for the rest of the month except for a few staples we might need! What a relief!
