Hello, I just had to share my great shopping savings day.

I went to 2 stores. here is what i bought at both stores so these are the total amounts spent and saved. some of the items are convince items but since i do have health issues and some days making from scratch is not possiable i do keep some convince items on hand. I buy with coupons and sales. plus I had someone staying with us and bevive it or not they took stuff from my frezzer and pantry to her moms house when she went over there to visit. my frezzer was almost completely emptyed plus my pantry was 3 quarters wiped out so I had to bulid it back up and thanks to these sales my pantry is full and my frezzer got full last week with a bunch of great meat sales. so here are my buys for yesterday.

Wow, you did great!! :-)

I used to do tons of couponing like that when my kids were at home but now I'm by myself, I really don't anymore.

Great buys. You know it's not what we buy for groceries that will kill the budget it's how much we spend. So, it seems to me that if your on target with your grocery budget it's all good.

I have to run to Krogers later on to fill a couple of prescriptions...I might have to take a good look around and get in on some of those deals!

It's always a good feeling when the total saved is more than the amount you spent!!! Good job!

I too hit Kroger for this deal as well. Saved 61% pairing coupons and this sale. I am going to go back one more time and do another 3 groupings.

Good deals abound.
