My Shopping Trip: Spent $13.77 Saved $145.36!

by cindy on March 17, 2010

My shopping trip this week at Meijer and Kroger was so much fun. I just had to tell everyone about it in a vlog. I did have some coupons that was sent to me in a Kroger mailer, a few coupons from inside food packages, and $5/$50 dollar order that was sent to me also by Kroger to help me get such low out of pocket cost. I hope some of you also had some of these coupons to help you also get a great deal.

Be sure to check out my Kroger and Meijer deal posts here and here. Make sure to print the coupons you want before they are gone.

Coupon Tip: Any time you have a $/$$ coupon make sure you hand them that coupon before they scan the rest.

Excellent Job! I did awesome this week as well. Loved your point about coupons are money too. A lot of people just don’t get that. I have tried over and over to teach some family members that and they just don’t understand the concept. All the time I take to clip coupons and pair them with a sale is so worth it to me. I could never go back to paying retail prices! Thanks for your hard work!

where did you find the coupon for the steamers? I’m thinking it’s reached the limit?

Great job! I have learned so much from you. Another shopper in Meijer saw me looking through all the coupons I had prepared to use and she said, “That is so smart.” I said, “Well, they say money doesn’t grow on trees, but it kinda does with a coupon.”

Lori, I think it has me print limits. That is one coupon I print as soon as I see it.
