I have my Kroger trip in the morning and I am not looking forward to it. (EDIT: 9/8 - Receipt says I saved 31% but that doesn't include Manger's Special items and Rain checks items. I had two Rain checks I used today. But I got a good deal of meat and produce! :]) But I feel I did good today! ;D Below is a place where you can share your savings. It doesn't have to be just from Publix!! :) Also please don't forget to enter my Progresso Recipe Starters Giveaway and don't forget to vote for my Gerber Baby! That's it! Have a GREAT weekend! :)

Small Last Minute Pre-Thanksgiving Shopping Trip

Yesterday I went to Kroger to grab some milk really quick because we were out and I always look around the store to check out any deals that they may have not posted in their ads (always happens). And at my Kroger I noticed they had PediaSures on Manager's Special (clearance) for $5.39. So I went home to scour the net for a coupon that wasn't a sidekick one. I also dropped by IHeartKroger.com and found a deal for some protein bars.

So here's what I bought:



2 PediaSure marked down to $5.39 from $10.79 used ! $1.50 off ANY and 1 $1.50 off PediaSure 6-pack
2 dozen Medium eggs 10/$10 - Thought I had used my $0.55/2 dozen last week, comes to find out it was hiding from me! AGH! I hate when that happens...
2 Beech-Nut mini steamie meals - 2 $1 off coupons
2 Luna Protein Bars $0.97 - 2 $0.50 off coupons doubled up = FREE
2 Kraft shredded cheese on sale

Total OOP: $18.25
Saved: $22.12

Of course when I got home I found the $3 off ANY PediaSure product in my email. But it's okay it was still a good deal. My receipt said I saved 39% but they don't included Manager's Special as a sale. So in reality I saved 55%, would have been 63% if I had those other coupons but C'est la vie.

ALSO! I got coupons that printed at the register! That is always exciting!

That's all for today and hopefully until after Thanksgiving. :D
