My Kroger Shopping Trip 07/22

I just had to go to Kroger after seeing Karen’s trip and reading all the comments on my Farm Fresh Shopping Trip post.  My plan had been to test and see if the cheese Catalina would “roll.”  I’d take one for the team 🙂  However, the cashier refused to let me use it on the 2nd transaction.  I had to get back in line to use it.  Well, my items were scanned and I was on a major time crunch.  Farm Fresh doesn’t care…
I’m trying to see when I can get back.  I had 4 minutes left; could I get the items in my cart, checkout and be back in the car in 4 minutes?  I figured I shouldn’t risk it.  Poor Monkeyboy would have been stuck on the corner.
The BIG NEWS: There was a $1/2 Blinkie with the cheese!!!!  Yes, you read that right-a blinkie!  Valid on Kraft or Cracker Barrel shredded or chunk cheese~!  Oh, happy day!
Transaction 1
5 Kraft Cheese $1.49 each
2 Tombstone pizza $2.99 each
3 Kraft Easy Mac $0.99 each
3 Crest Toothpaste $1 each (not part of Mega Event)
-$5 for Mega Event
– 2 $2/1 Tombstone printables (Facebook)
– 3 $0.50/1 Crest from 06/06 PG insert
– 2 $1/2 Kraft blinkies!
Total Paid: $5.77
Total Saved $32.11
Earned $5 CAT
Transaction 2
5 Kraft Cheese $1.49 each
5 Velveeta Cups $0.99 each
– $5 for Mega Event
– 2 $1/2 Kraft blinkies!
Total Paid: $5.44
Total Saved: $20.50
Earned $5 CAT
Total Trip Spent $11.21
Total Trip Saved $52.61
Have $10 in Catalina’s

    The Cheese catalina does roll. I did 3 separate transactions for the cheese cat and rolled the cat. Got the cat each time. Lots of cheese and free! Luckily the shreds expire in November and they freeze great.

    I hope to get there today. Thinking 2 more transactions of cheese using the CAT's to lower my OOP, then I'll buy fruit and veggies with the other CATS 🙂
