Kroger: Saved $114.19 (64%)

This was quite the day at Kroger! I stopped at lunchtime today and thought I bought 8 items to get the $4 March to Savings discount. I checked over my receipt only to discover that I had bought only 7 of the necessary items. No $4 discount to be found! Plus one of the items scanned at the wrong price.

Then Emma and I went to the Kroger close to home after dinner tonight. Would you believe I did the same thing!?! I thought that the Steamfresh veggies were part of the March to Savings promo, but the size I bought was the wrong size for the sale. (Great deal with triple coupons though!) So I grabbed two Powerades as a cheap filler and got the $4 discount. Geesh!

That said…. Here’s what we ended up with. It’s broken into two pictures, because there were two separate trips.

Total Spent (both trips): $64.81
Total Saved (both trips): $114.19 (64%)
