Another week has gone by, and it's grocery shopping day at my household. This week there were not too many big deals going on, but there where enough for me to shop at all three of my grocery stores.
I started out with Kroger today. I mainly went there because Springdale milk is 99 cents a gallon. I also needed tomatoes and lettuce. The Roma tomatoes were 88 cents a pound and the lettuce was 99 cents a head. Kroger did have All Free and Clear on sale for $2.99. We received $1 off of any one All product in Sunday's paper. I decided to use all three of my coupons and got my All for $1.99 each. The best deal I got at Kroger was the Campbell condensed soups. The Campbell condensed soups were on sale for a dollar a piece. This included the Healthy Request soups too. I still had 40 cents off of 4 for any Campbell condensed soup and a 50 cents off of 2 Healthy Request Campbell condensed soup. I checked Shortcuts and there were new electronic coupons for Campbell soups. $1.50 off of 4 Healthy Request soups and $1 off of 2 any condensed soups. Kroger doubled both of my manufacturing coupons and applied both electronic coupons towards the 6 cans of soup that I bought. In the end, I paid $1.70 for all 6 cans! That is about 28 cents per can! I did do well at Kroger today. I paid just over $25 and saved $34.58, a savings of 58%!
Albertsons was next on my list. Albertsons has a coupon for Sara Lee Classic White bread for 99 cents a loaf, with a limit of 2 loaves. Albertsons also has Gain dish soap for 99 cents. I still had two $1 off of one Gain dish soap coupons that were expiring today. I used both of them and got 2 FREE dish soaps! My favorite deal at Albertsons was the Yoplait deal. If you buy 20 Yoplaits, then you will get $3 dollars off the final price. This made each yogurt about 35 cents each. Well we have tons of Yoplait coupons from prior Sunday papers. I had two 40 cents off of 6 and one 50 cents off of 8 Yoplait coupons. Albertsons doubled all three coupons and I ended up paying 22 cents per yogurt! I spent $13.87 and saved $17.47! Well on my way for a great shopping experience.
Finally was Tom Thumb. I needed cereal really bad this week since the kids ate all the cereal by Tuesday. Kroger did have Post cereal for $1.98 a box, but I felt like I could do better. Tom Thumb has a coupon for Kelloggs Special K cereals for $1.99 a box with a limit of four. I also had two coupons for $1 off of any 2 Special K cereals. So that dropped the price to $1.49 a box. Not bad for this week, but I have done better in prior weeks. I did check out the Post at Tom Thumb, since I still had coupons for buy any 2 Post Fruity Pebble cereals and get a box of Fruity Pebbles with marshmallows for free. Tom Thumb is the only store so far that has the new Fruity Pebbles with marshmallows. Post was on sale for $2.79 a box. I decided since I really do need cereal to give it a try. I bought the two boxes for $2.79 each and when I checked out, the scanner took off $4 for the third box instead of the sale price of $2.79! So I bought 3 boxes of Post cereals for $4.37, which make it about $1.46 a box. I did buy other items at Tom Thumb, but the cereal deals were the best in my book. I spent $27.20 and saved $28.23. Not as good as the other stores, but still a 51% savings.
After it was all said and done, I spent $66.09 and got $146.37 worth of groceries. I saved $80.28, a savings of over 50%! Not a bad job, considering there were not too many items on sale this week that I had coupons for.

My Weekly Deals
Once again it's Thursday and I'm ready with kids and coupons in tow to save some money. Today I went to Kroger and Tom Thumb. I know what you are thinking, what about Albertsons that I love so much. Well unfortunately, the only thing that Albertsons has on sale that I could use are apples. The items on my grocery list I can I get cheaper at the other two stores, but I still love you Albertsons.
I saved the most today at Tom Thumb. Both Tom Thumb and Kroger have selected General Mills cereals for $1.99 or $1.98 a box. I chose to get the majority of my cereal at Tom Thumb because, my Coupons.com app applies their electronic coupons only to my Tom Thumb card. I also had a decent cereal coupon for $1.50 off of 3 boxes of any General Mills cereal that I could only use at Tom Thumb. My other coupons are a dollar off of three boxes. I checked my Shortcuts and Cellfire coupons to see if there are any coupons that I can use. I had two, one for Multi-grain Cheerios and Cinnamon Toast Crunch. These were on sale for $1.99. I was able to get a box of Multi-grain Cheerios for 74 cents! This was because my Shortcuts coupon was 75 cents off of one box of Multi-grain Cheerios. I got my Cinnamon Toast Crunch for 94 cents. My Shortcuts coupon was 55 cents off of a box of Cinnamon Toast Crunch. Since I did not have anymore Cellfire or Shortcuts cereal coupons, I ended up getting a box of Lucky Charms for $1.49. My favorite deal of the week was for Campbell condensed soups. This week, Tom Thumb has the Campbell's condensed soups for a dollar a can. Last Sunday, we received coupons for 40 cents off of 4 Campbell condensed soups. I checked my Coupons.com app and there was a $1.49 off of any 4 Campbell condensed soup electronic coupon. Tom Thumb doubled my 40 cents coupon and applied the electronic coupon to drop my price to $1.71 for all four cans! That is about 42 cents a can! My next favorite deal was the whole fryer chickens Tom Thumb has for 59 cents a pound. I paid $2.73 for a chicken over four and a half pounds! At that price, I bought two. Herb rubbed roast chicken is on the menu for tomorrow. For anyone out there that loves Silk Almond Milk, Tom Thumb has a coupon to make Silk products $1.99 for a half gallon. Since in Sunday's paper I got a $2 off of 2 Silk Almond Milk coupon, I was able to get 2 half gallons for 99 cents each! In the end, I paid $28.62 and saved $45.76! That is a savings for 62% from just one store! Totally made my day!
My last stop was at Kroger. We are having salad to go with the herb rubbed chicken tomorrow, and Kroger has Roma tomatoes on sale for 88 cents a pound. I also bought five pomegranates for a dollar a piece. Kroger also has General Mills cereals for $1.98 a box. So if you do not have a Tom Thumb, then you can do what I did above at Kroger. Kroger also has Post cereals for $1.98 a box. I had a Kroger coupon for a dollar off of 2 Post cereals. Since we are completely out of cereal at my house, I thought why not get some Honey Bunches of Oats for Rob. Kroger has Sara Lee bread on sale for 98 cents a loaf. I decided to buy 2 loaves and use one for tonight's dinner of grilled cheese sandwiches and tomato soup, using 2 of my Progresso Hearty Tomato soup cans from my pantry. Trying to remember to rotate my food supply to make room for more. Overall I find it harder to get a 50% or greater savings per week at Kroger, but I did save 47%. I spent $31.99 and saved $27.11.
In the end, I spent $60.61 and bought $133.48 worth of groceries. That is a savings of $72.87! Much more than a 50% savings! I think this was a great shopping experience!
