Shopping Trip - Saved 62%

WALGREENS & CVS: Free items were toothbrush, toothpaste, 8x10, pantiliners, reed diffuser. I also bought hair color (4.99), headbands (0.99), dryer bar (0.49), detergent (1.49). Not pictured is three 12 packs of Dr. Pepper from Wags. Oops, forgot those!

Regular Price: $65.80

OOP: $2.44 +25 RR + 9.99 ECBs

Earned: 10 RR + 8.99 ECBs

Savings: $47.36 or 72%

Actual Cost: $18.44

KROGER: Today was the last day of Super Doubles. I bought ice cream (1.33), diapers (5.27), milk (2.79), tornados (0.69), chicken nugges (1.40), pie (0.59), sour cream (1.00), soap (3.49), goldfish (1.00), Mac Grill Kit (1.49), veg oil (2.69), paper towels (0.50), ketchup (FREE), BBQ sauce (0.45), buns (1.00), grapes (0.99 lb), mango (0.68), bananas (0.59 lb), pork tenderloin (1.75), tortillas (0.69).

This is the 1st time I have done Super Doubles. I still think I like triples better, but this gave me a chance to buy high $ items that I don't typically like to buy but we still need. Dove soap and vegetable oil are an example of this. They are both WAY over my $2 comfort level. At least with SD's I can get them a little better in range.

Regular Price: $114.86

OOP: $47.55 + $3.50 Catalina

Savings: $63.81 or 56%

Actual Cost: $51.05

Grand Totals

Regular Price: $180.66

Saved: $111.17 or 62%

Actual Cost: $69.49

Notes: I am taking $12.34 off of my total because I bought diapers. This will come out of our gift budget since I have several baby showers coming up. Diapers make great gifts. What new mom is going to turn down diapers, right?

Weekly Total: $57.15. Looks like I have just enough left over to get my chocolate milk, yay! :)

Kroger Super Doubles

*WOW* I can hardly believe it myself. Right on the heels of Triple Coupons, select Kroger locations have decided to match Harris Teeter again by offering Super Doubles.

What is Super Doubles?

The store will double any coupon $1.99 and under. Limit 20 per transaction.

Which stores?

Confirmed participating locations are Franklin Rd, Nippers Corner and Hwy 100.

How long?

I called Franklin Rd. and they said it will end "probably Saturday." At Nippers Corner I was told Tuesday, 9/1.

Matchups?

These posts are for Harris Teeter, but the prices are usually pretty close if not lower at Kroger.
