Couponing My Way To The Islands!

~My Kroger Trip~

Ran to Kroger today as we were out of bread & eggs. They are running a lot of items 10 for $10, however you don't have to buy 10 to get the $1 sale price. I have several people ask about that. Many people that are new to couponing assume that Kroger is more expensive than Wal-mart on everyday groceries. I've included the regular & sale prices on the items so that you can see the prices.
Also, Kroger milk is $1.29 right now.

This is a great example of how coupons truly impact the bottom line on food purchases. I have several people that I speak with that think that coupons are only good for toiletry items. Not true! I didn't purchase any toiletry items during this trip. Simply by shopping sales & combining my coupons, I was able to save over 50%.
