My Under $10 Shopping Trip

Okay so I'm back in business. I've kind of taken a blogging/couponing break. I've got my hands in some other projects right now and haven't been able to find enough time in the day. Can anyone relate? So, yesterday I finally went grocery shopping for our family to pick up some things we needed for the week. Here's what I got:

strawberries

Hellman's mayo

eggs

large yogurt

BBQ sauce

Ritz peanut butter crackers

2 Kashi waffles

Quaker granola bites

3.75 lbs organic, boneless, skinless chicken breasts

2 Kraft salad dressings

Fresh Express Salad mix

tortilla chips

potato chips

2 Oscar Meyer mini hot dogs

GRAND TOTAL: $9.64

Here's the breakdown:

Kroger -- if you haven't signed up as a Kroger customer on their website -- DO IT! These coupons will mean nothing to you if you don't sign up. They send you coupons regularly in the mail and they tend to be high value if not totally FREE!

Strawberries: $1.65

Total: FREE

Hellman's mayo: $4.99

Total: $.50 each (there is also a $1/1 coupon on my side bar which would have made these FREE, dang!)

Kraft BBQ Sauce: $1.00

I used my $2 coupon from the BBQ sauce and with all my overage I was able to snag eggs, yogurt, and 2 bags of chips as well. My total at Kroger was $4.13!! Whoo! ***I would also like to note that there are several $1/1 Kelloggs coupons out there and Kelloggs cereal is $1.88 this week so you could get some really cheap cereal as well.***
