Gone Shoppin!

This was just a short trip, more for necessities.

Walmart --

Flour $1.88
Boneless chicken breasts $8.68 (ouch at the current meat prices!)
Ray-o-vac AA batteries for my 16 yr old DS junkie .97 cents
Sweet Oil (for same 16 yr old who got swimmers ear over the weekend) $3.82
A-1 Steak sauce $2.08 - pd .08 cents after $2.00 off coupon
Purina One kitten food for (spoiled) Tiger $5.98 - pd $2.98 after coupon
Total for 6 whole items $20.28

-----------------------
Next we have Kroger - and this one gets a little complicated.
Their strange ad this week had certain items for a lower cost if you bought 10 - which ended up being $3 off of 10 items in that group.
These were in that group: (and how they first rang up)

2 pks Oscar Meyer hot dogs $1.79 ea
2 Kraft barbeque sauce .99 cents ea
6 Banquet entrees .88 cents ea
2 Breyers Ice Cream $1.99
2 Ragu $1.69 ea
18 oz (huge!) box of Cheerios $2.49 (cheaper than the smaller boxes!)
Betty Crocker brownie Mix $1.99
2 Purex Laundry detergent $2.49 ea
2 Country Crock (the bigguns!) $1.99 each

Now take off $3 twice for those.
Then a carton of eggs for $1.09
and a box of Kroger pop tarts $1.00
Now take off the rest of the coupons (some doubled)
25 cents off Country Crock (doubled)
35 cents off Country Crock (doubled)
2 of the 75 cents off Kraft BBQ sauce
$1.oo off 2 Breyers Ice Cream
$1.00 off 2 Oscar Meyer Hot Dogs
55 cents off Cheerios!
75 cents off 2 Ragu sauce
2 of the 35 cents off Purex laundry detergent (doubled)
50 cents off Betty Crocker Brownie mix (doubled)

Total cost for 22 items : $26.18

(total of kroger plus card and all coupon savings was $29.87!)

That little splurge will hold us over at least until next payday - I hope. ;)
