Weekly Shopping Trip 02/04/09

Ok, can anyone say "Retarded"?? I mean, totally. Me. Yup, me. I went to Food Lion yesterday to buy grapes. Then today I went to Kroger to get the rest of the groceries and totally forgot about the grapes and thought I could spend my whole budget at Kroger!! Grr. Ok, so it's only $1.01 over budget, but still.

Here's a picture of EVERYTHING: Food Lion (I'm starting with them 'cause it's easy :) )
1.13 lbs Grapes - $1.12

MVP savings: $1.13 or 50%

Used the $1 off your next order coupon that I got last week.

Side note: The 4 Manwich I'm going to donate to our church's food pantry. I can't stand the stuff, but it was really cheap and it filled out the 10 items I needed to get the $3 off at checkout (yes, another one of THOSE weeks!)

Total OOP: $26.26, minus the Manwich = $24.86
Saved (on the $24.86): $29.57 or 54%

Whole Trip OOP: $26.01
Total Saved: $30.70 or 54%

Awesome job! You have no idea how jealous I am that you have a store that doubles coupons regularly!

Liz, Yeah, I've thought that if we ever move, Kroger might be on the list of "must haves" for the new location :)

That looks mighty good and frugal! Hey, here's a hint. I bought the Trix yogurt (for kids) once, for Paul and Hannah, and that stuff looks bad, like as in really bad. It must have enough food coloring in to kill a rabbit. Paul's and Hannah's poo-poo turned the color of the yogurt. I'm not going to buy it again. I get the Yoplait for kids instead.
