Unfortunately, I don't recall which coupons matched up with the items. The cashier had some difficulty inputting my coupons and then we both got confused, but I am sure that I came out ahead in the long run. I was also able to get overage from the emery boards which helped get the OOP total down. I also used a $5.00/$25.00 Competitor Coupon too.


Total OOP for the week: $18.54
Total Savings: $94.95


Since we were going out of town, I wasn't needing a ton of produce or milk. But, I did go to Kroger on Thursday night and buy a few more things. I didn't take a picture of it, but here's the rundown:

1- Roast- $4.24
2- Half Gallon Milk- $.99 each!
1- Bread- $.88
1- Cantaloupe- $1.69
1- Red Barron Pizza- $3.00
1- Apple and Cheese Tray- $3.49

So, I ended up using the rest of my $40/week budget on a few more things. I was very proud of myself. I stayed under my alotted amount again this week!
