Daniel is my hero. He helped me figure out my veeerrrry long receipt. He's the one that found that one pack of chicken that hadn't been taxed, causing a $.07 difference in my total! I have been going to the "other" Kroger the past several weeks, and the people there have been really nice, and the cashiers amazing. I am much more comfortable with them, and don't mind having a conversation with the people there, which is very different from the other Kroger (with the super-friendly male cashier). I'm just really glad that all the cashiers have been so great so far! This is the store that I had serious trouble at a couple times with my coupons. I had 40 coupons today! Thankfully no one got in line behind me until we were almost done, and I made sure the cashier was ok with it before he started. When we got to the coupons I told him that since I had so many I wanted to hand them to him in batches. He did really great at scanning them, and when he was done he said he's had people in there with an even bigger pile than I had! I like it when the cashiers seem to be excited over my savings :)
When Daniel saw all the Rice Krispies he asked if I was going to make Rice Krispie Treats :) I might have to get some marshmallows and make some for him.

WOW. Your post left my jaw dropping! That was an epic shopping trip on so many levels!
Maybe "Gala" should be the last word in your title.:-)
ummm....Rice Krispie Treats would be good "on the road" food. (hint hint)
Looks like you did a super-duper job! Those savings look really impressive. The food looks really, really good. I could take a big glass of the orange juice about now...(just in from the garden).
40 coupons?! Wow! Where do you get all your coupons? Do most come from the internet or newspapers or a combination of the two? What internet coupon sites do you use? I have so many questions...sorry :)
Katie - all 40 were "regular" coupons :) We get 2 papers delivered, a lady at church gives me hers, and several people on my MIL's street give theirs to my MIL and then she gives them to me. Sometimes I end up with 5-7 inserts! I love it :) IPQs I get mostly from coupons.com (in my sidebar), the e-coupon sites are shortcuts.com, cellfire.com and pgesaver.com (the ones you load to your Kroger card).
Thanks for the info Miriam!
