This Week's Groceries and Menu

Wow, nobody was running good sales on anything really this week. The only "highlight" savings-wise this week is that Kmart is doubling coupons up to $2 and I was able to get some awesome deals there.

Kroger brand Corn Chips - $1.13
Gallon 1% milk - $1.99
Kroger Mustard - $1.19
2 pkgs. ground chuck - $7.53
Bananas ($.50/lb) - $.98
used no coupons
Total OOP: 17.22
Total Kroger Savings: $2.00
Saved 10%

WalMart:

Shortening - $3.68
2 OJ - $2.96 (they went up $.06 ea.!!)
2 Bright'n'Early - $1.36
Total OOP: $8.20

(4) Choc. Chips, $2.33/ea. $1.08/ea. after doubled coupons and $1 off if you buy 3 or more
Total OOP: $7.46
Total Savings: $23.18
Saved 76%

Whole trip OOP: $32.88
Total Savings: $25.18

I think that's pretty good considering that I didn't use any coupons at Kroger or WalMart, and that everything from Kmart is for stockpiling. I just couldn't pass up those deals!
