My Kroger Trip 7/19

Another successful day at the grocery store with 70% savings! This time it was City Market and I took advantage of the 10 item Mega event. I am a visual person, so I apologize for not getting a photo of my goods but with temps above 100 degrees here in Colorado I had to get stuff into the fridge and freezer!


This is what I came home with:
3 eight oz blocks of Philly cream cheese
2 eight oz tubs honey nut cream cheese (there was supposed to be a coupon for these, but never found it)
1 bag Kraft shredded cheese (there is a Kraft Catalina for $5 off your next visit wyb 5 participating Kraft items AND Kraft will donate 5 meals to Feeding America! )
4 pints Starbucks ice cream ($1/2 coupon no longer available from coupons.com sorry!)
2 Tombstone Pizzas (-$2/1 Tombstone Pizza  Facebook deal)
2 Suave deodorants (Red Plum $0.75/1 from 7/11 insert makes it FREE)
2 Softsoaps (coupon here makes it FREE)
1 lb ground Honeysuckle turkey (6/20 SS makes it 24cents)
1 loaf Sara Lee wheat bread
1 gallon milk (no deal, but a necessity in my house)
2 sixty four oz Welch's grape juice (-$0.75/1 Welch’s 7/11/2010 SS Insert, also here,  AND coupon on tag hanging on bottle!)
4 cans Spaghettios (coupon here made them FREE)

Retail Value $64.51
OOP* cost $24.23 + received $5 Catalina from Kraft purchase
TOTAL = 19.23 for 25 items!!!

I may have done even better with more time for planning and if I had left my 4 monkeys at home...but overall it was worth the trip! I may have to go back for more deals...this is addicting! For my first few weeks of serious couponing I am feeling pretty good.

I got my coupon info from  Faithful Provisions , Crazy Coupon Mommy, Happy Homemaker Cindy and Cents Saved this week!  Thank you!!!

Celebrating the Joys of Homemaking!

A good friend of mine has a fun event starting on her blog tomorrow! 

You won't want to miss the great giveaways and reviews of products that make life easier for the homemaker and mother that she'll offer this month on Happily Domestic.

I know how blessed I feel to have the opportunity to stay home with my children, I can't think of any other job I'd rather have at this point in my life. It really is a joy! 

However, I do have to admit that I don't have this whole "homemaker" thing down perfect yet.

This might be just what I need for inspiration to work on a few

things...laundry and organization making the top of the list!

So click on over, let's celebrate together...
