10/7 Kroger & Walgreens Trips
My $9 Challenge

The story: headed out to run some errands with Walgreens, Kroger, and Wal-mart on my list got my cart all loaded up at Kroger and started sorting out my coupons when I realized I forgot my bank card! The horror. Dug through my purse and discovered $8 in cash and some coins. Had to make some speedy decisions but I still ended up with some great deals from Kroger and had a few dollars left over for Walgreens.

Here are my trips:
Kroger
 

Kroger is doing their mega deal again, buy 10 participating items get $5 off at the register, I bought 20 participating items for a $10 discount or $.50 off each item.

10 - Philadelphia Cream Cheese $.1.49 each ($14.90)
$5 discount for the mega deal
used (2) - $5 off 5 Kraft Cheeses
Final Price  $-.01 each! 
(made $.10 on these!)

1 - Easy Mac Cup $.99
- $.50 Mega deal discount
Free coupon -$.99
Final Price $-.50
(another money maker!)

4 - Nestle Ready to Bake Cookie Dough $2.49ea ($9.96)
- $2.00 (mega deal discount)
- $4.00 (4 - $1 off 1 Nestle Cookie dough coupons from 10/3 RP)
Final Price $.99ea

3 - Kraft BBQ sauce $.99 ea ($2.97)
- $1.50 Mega deal discount
(no coupons!)
Final Price $.49ea

2 - Fuze Drinks $.99 ea ($1.98)
- $1.50 Mega deal discount
(no coupons!)
Final Price $.49ea

Total Before Sales and Discounts = $ 43.35
Total Out of Pocket = $5.81
That is a savings of 87%
