I feel like I've hit the jackpot these last few weeks at Kroger. I stopped in for a head of lettuce (which I forgot yesterday) and luckily I had my coupon binder with me! During today's trip, I purchased: three tubes of Colgate toothpaste (retail $2.50 each), a Colgate Wave toothbrush (retail $2.30), a Colgate Professional toothbrush (retail $2.30), eight cans of Campbell's Chunky Sirloin Burger soup (retail $1.65 each), four cans of Campbell's Mexican Style Chicken Tortilla soup (retail $3.19 each), a bottle of Welch's Essentials White Grape Peach Mango juice (retail $3.29), a carton of Welch's Healthy Start Mango Twist juice (retail $1.99), a head of lettuce (retail: $0.99), four packages of Nestle Toll House cookies: Ultimate Chocolate Lovers, Chunk Chocolate Chip, Ultimate Peanut Butter Cups & Chunky Chocolate Chip and Filled Chocolate Chip & Chocolate filling (retail $2.50 each) and a 24 count bottle of Advil (retail: $3.99). My total was $58.32. After using my Plus Card for the sale items, all of my coupons and the Mega Event discount I only paid $1.57 out of pocket, savings of 97.3 percent! Since was is only $0.58 more than I was planning on spending and I was able to purchase 22 more items for that $0.58, I will call this trip a big win!
My charity bin is filling up nicely with toothpaste, toothbrushes, tampons, soup (not pictured), bottled juice (not pictured), body wash and more. I am so happy that I will be soon be able to contribute a large number of items at very little or no cost to myself (other than the cost of the newspapers; I do feel that I have more than made up for it) and help someone in need. Pay it forward, you never know when you or someone you love will be the one in need!
