Kroger in Crowley, Texas! Sorry about not posting the last couple weeks, but there really was nothing worth blogging about. That changes today! This post is dedicated to my new favorite Kroger store.
The Kroger store in Crowley, Texas is unlike the Krogers in Fort Worth. First of all, it's clean and the produce looks fresh. It also has a good variety of organic produce and produce that is harder to find at other commercial grocery stores. Like today, I found baby yellow onions. I'm making boiled dinner tonight and the recipe calls for pearl onions. I really hate peeling those little things but when I was at Kroger today, I noticed right by the pearl onions little yellow onions. They looked like they would work perfectly in the soup. So I got about 8 of them. When checking out I found out that they did not have the code for these in the cashier's code book. The sign by them said $3.29 a pound, but she gave them to me at the adult yellow onions price which is 99 cents a pound this week.
Aside from the produce, the dairy department is conveniently located all along the store's back wall. So once I am finished with my produce, I make a turn and there is the milk. Today at this Kroger there was a sale on Springdale milk. If you buy $10 worth of groceries, then you can get a gallon of milk for 78 cents! I cannot remember a time when milk was this cheap! I knew the Kroger in Fort Worth was not having milk this cheap, so I picked up a gallon.
Another thing I love about this store, is that the items that are on sale at all Kroger's in the area tend to run a little cheaper here than at the Kroger stores in town. This week, Kroger is having a buy 10 get $5 off of selected items. Swanson's broths are on this sale. The weekly flier I received in the mail for Kroger off of Hulen had the final price after buying 10 at 50 cents a can. Not a bad price, but when I got to the Kroger in Crowley, the price was 29 cents after buying 10! Let's see which one would I prefer to buy. And the Skinner pastas were 38 cents after buying 10 at the Hulen store. I paid 19 cents each at the Crowley store! The rest of the items looked to be the same price as the Hulen store, but I did not have a chance to compare every single item on the sale.
Finally what really has me wanting to come back, is that this store will double or triple like coupons up to three. The store off of Hulen only double or triples the first coupon and the other two you get at face value. So at this store, I was able to use both of my 50 cents off of 5 Swanson's broth cans coupons and the store doubled both. So in the end, instead of paying 29 cents a can, I paid 9 cents a can! I was also excited that this store took both of my shortcut coupons for Campbell's Select Harvest and Campbell's Chunky soups. Both coupons where for $1 off of 2. I also had 2, dollar off of 2 manufacturing coupons to use on top of those. Since the Select Harvest and the Chunky soups were 99 cents after buying 10 and the store took both of my coupons, I got 4 FREE cans of soup!!!! I also got 4 cans of Cream of Mushroom and Cream of Chicken condensed soups for 30 cents a can.
I ended up paying $28.22 for all of my groceries at Kroger and saved $48.50! That is a savings of 63%! I think that is the best I have ever done at Kroger! I also was able to use my coupon for 100 fuel points. I think today is going to be a great day after all.

Thursday Morning
Another week has gone by, I have to say that this Thursday morning was not nearly as stressful as last weeks. Not too much were on sale that I had coupons for. I did shop at my three stores today but was in and out each store under 30 minutes. That is how few items I had on my list.
Let's start with Kroger again. They are still having the same sale as last week going on, but they did remove a couple of items and replaced them with other items. I bought my milk at Kroger since if I spent $10 or more, then the Springdale milk was 99 cents a gallon. I also picked up two Nesquiks for the boys at a dollar a piece. I did take advantage of the sale again. I was able to get four boxes of Kelloggs fruit snacks for 99 cents a box. My other items that I bought where items I needed to buy either for making school lunches or for dinner tonight. Swedish Meatballs in my new crock pot! I cannot wait to eat! All in all, I paid $26.35 and saved $25.49. A savings of 49%.
Albertsons was my next stop. I needed to get some pasta for tonight's dinner. Albertsons has the Barilla Whole Grain Pasta on sale for $1.25 a box. I still had the 55 cents off of one Barilla Whole Grain Pasta coupons from last month. I used all three and paid 75 cents per box. I also used all three of my 50 cents off of one Yakisoba meals. Since Albertsons still doubles all three of my coupons, I got them all for FREE! Nice, quick lunch for me today. I did take advantage of the buy one get one free sale on the Irish Spring soap bar packs. I still had my two 50 cents off of any one Irish Spring coupons. They were expiring on the 23rd, so I saw this as my opportunity to use them. I am used to getting Irish Soap free, but it has been awhile since Kroger had them on sale for a dollar a 3 pack. Albertsons did take and double my two coupons to drop the price from $2.99 to 99 cents for both packs! I ended up paying $14.69 and saving $15. A savings of just over 50%.
Tom Thumb was my last stop today. I needed to get cereal. Tom Thumb as selected General Mills cereals for $1.88. Tom Thumb also had a coupon that makes the price of Multi-grain Cheerios and Banana Nut Cheerios $1.99 a box, with a limit of 4 boxes. I had two coupons for $1 off of two Banana Nut Cheerios coupons and a Cellfire coupon for 75 cents off of one box of Banana Nut Cheerios. I ended up getting 3 boxes for $1.49 and one for 74 cents. I also used two different $1 off of any two Cheerios coupons for get some Honey Nut Cheerios for $1.38 a box. My best find was the Progresso Vegetable Classic soups for 88 cents each with a limit of 8 cans. I still had several $1 off of any four Progresso soups coupon. I decided to only use one coupon, since I really do not have room in my pantry to get all 8. I checked Cellfire and Shortcuts for electronic coupons. I had a 50 cents off of two Progresso soups coupons on both websites. Tom Thumb did take both of the electronic coupons and this brought my total to $1.52 for all four cans! If you do the math, then that is 38 cents a can! I spent $17.31 and saved $30.25! A savings of 64%! I love having big savings at Tom Thumb!
In the end I spent $58.35 for $129.09 worth of groceries, and I saved $70.74! I did better than I thought I was going to do. Definitely going to enjoy my Swedish Meatballs tonight after doing a good job saving money this morning.
