Nanny to Mommy

I am so glad I don't have to worry about back to school shopping yet, although I am noticing some great deals. Still no car which is coming to a point where I might pull my hair out. Just kidding. But it has been giving me time to get my trips together and getting everything at once so I save money on gas.

So this is what I got:


***NOTE: My Publix does not do true BOGOs, so I don't have to buy two to get the deal. My store accepts Kroger, Target, and Ingles as competitors.***

So let's hear how you did:
(You can post your shopping trips from ANYWHERE not just Publix, I would love to know where the hot deals are. :] )

I am sorry to have been gone for a while and then come back and be all business BUT we have been without internet. And it has been a PAIN to get fixed. Hubby got a new phone and since we no longer have unlimited data, we wanted to make sure wi-fi was working at our house. Somehow the whole network got messed up and we had no x-box live (hubby was going through withdrawals lol) and I had no laptop... :(



Anywho. I went to Kroger and Publix this week. No picture because I forgot. But I still have my weekly totals and this time I have included links to the printables and/or insert dates so you can make sure to score the deals too.

Make sure to input a link to your totals in the widget below! :D

I'm sorry I was behind on this totals post. Life has been busy and chaotic lately and I will update more on that later. Anyways. I am still without a car so I am still relying on my husband for transportation. And like I have said before, shopping with him is a NIGHTMARE! LOL. He did do better this time than he has done in the past.

I am a HUGE fan of the Comforts for Baby line by The Kroger Co. I had the pleasure of recently doing a review of The Comforts for Baby line. The diapers are soft like Pampers but absorbent like Huggies and they come at a better price than both! The small pack of wipes in the picture below are only $1 and you can get ones that feel like Pampers (soft and very moist) or Huggies (thicker). I perfer the thicker variety. The small pack is also very convenient for the diaper bag and my MIL uses them to remove her make-up! We are also a big fan of the sippy cups and puffs. When I was a nanny, this was the only brand formula that would help with the little girl's colic. So over the last few weeks I have acquired a few extra coupons, so much that I have a surplus! None of these are connected to a store card and Kroger did not ask me to do this give away. All views are expressly my own.

Comforts for Baby is sold at all Kroger Company family stores. Also don't forget to load your card with coupons before you shop! :)

The Hubby and I have been married for FIVE years today.

It's the wooden anniversary but we can't really afford gifts for each other (and what would I get him anyways?). I honestly don't want anything except a night out. :)
