Gotta brag on my Kroger trip today

Total before sales and coupons - $252.12
Total OOP - $73.86
Total Savings - 70%

Cleo - do you still want those coupons? I've got them in the car and it's quite a stack :mrgreen:

 

I was gonna stop by yesterday, and forgot on the way back home from the Peds.

I still want them, just don't know when I will get to you. If HG can get by there before me, pass them on to her.

 

Michelle, just let me know. I've got EOM stuff to do today, but can meet you at 40/42 on your way home.


Cleo did you get the bag I left on the porch??

 

Yes I did - thanks. Sorry I missed you!

 

dang girl, that is OUTSTANDING. do my shoooooppppingggggggggggg:mrgreen:

 

Where do you all find coupons - it seems that all the sites I go, they have the same ones. Once in a while I find something I can use that doesn't appear somewhere else.

 

Did you use any internet printables? I have heard conflicting info about Kroger accepting them.

 

HG - I'm not at work this afternoon. Give me a call and we'll meet this weekend.

I get 95% of my coupons from the sunday paper inserts. I have a friend whose boyfriend delivers a local paper that also has some of these inserts and I get the coupons out of some of the papers they would otherwise recycle.

From time to time I will order coupons off the internet if there is a good one. I usually buy from www.kuntryklippers.com because they sell 20 coupons (all the same) for $1. That's the best price I have found.

Krogers policy: well, there isn't one in writing. Last night I was told a limit of 2 IP's for any particular item along with a limit of 2 regular q's. So, 4 coupons total per item. I raised a bit of a fit since I had been in there shopping for over an hour and had lots of coupons (around 70). The lady was nice and let me use all of them because they had plenty of stock on the items I bought. I don't like to clear a shelf . . . I try to leave some for my fellow couponers.

This afternoon I went in there and a customer stopped me in the store and said they had told her a limit of 2 coupons total for each item. This was after I had a cart full of stuff (only had 4 of most items). I went through the line and was not given any problems about my coupons so I don't know why they told her that. I think they make up the rules as they go!

I've had people offer me money (seriously!) to do their coupon shopping and my answer is always no. It takes a lot of time to match sales with coupons and organize coupons, etc. and I just don't have the energy or the urge to do someone else's shopping. It's all I can do to do my own.

By the way, my totals today: Before coupons - $134.47. Total OOP - $44.86. Yay!

 

You're crazy! I won't do it for you but you can go with me :mrgreen: Imagine the trouble we could get in to. :jester:

Great tutorial on coupons, how to use them and where to get them.

This is new to WRAL today. I didn't watch the whole thing, but looks like there is LOTS of good info in there from our very own FrugalMomof2!!

Did the p/u ever happen? If it's not winter tomorrow, I'll venture out.

 

Nope. Didn't hear from Michelle yesterday.

Hello Michelle??

I'm working on marketing stuff today and changing our websites, so I haven't even showered yet :lol:

Cleo, I"ll call you tomorrow with my moms stash I got yesterday. <kiss kiss>

 

Sorry I missed you the other day, I was um... busy. lol

 

Notice, I didn't knock on the door. :lol::lol: :twisted:

 

Yeah, I noticed.

Happy Birthday to me!

 

Thanks Michelle!

Cleo, I'll be done by next year with this stack :lol:

 

Why Cleo, you naughty girl! :twisted: :cheers:

You're welcome Harleygirl, hope you guys enjoy them. My "source" for extra coupons has gone astray . . . he stopped delivering the papers so now I will only have what I get on Sunday and what I snatch from work :neutral:
