Kroger 1/24/10

I normally don't shop very much at Kroger but today I went TWICE! WOW at the FREE cheese! Just to break it down, pictured above is the following items:
20 packs of cheese
20 single serve mac and cheese cups
12 boxes of dishwasher detergent (almost a year supply)
1 box of crackers
2 bottles of salad dressing
15 bottles of soda

• Total Before Savings and Coupons $185.76
• My Savings at Kroger $177.34
• Out of Pocket Spent $8.42
• I Saved 96%

To put this into perspective, I also purchased separately a small bag of candy for my son's teacher for $3.00. $3.00 for a tiny bag of candy or just $8.42 for everything pictured above! That's the power of coupons and "strategic" shopping!
