I made an unexpected trip to Kroger yesterday. I didn’t think it would work out, so I didn’t have my binder to walk the aisles or the $1/2 Quaker Rice Cakes printable for FREE Rice Cakes (after Mega Event).
My first note: They removed the blinkie machine! I was bummed! It’s not like they wouldn’t be reimbursed by Kraft. Luckily I’d pulled an extra on Thursday. I decided against a 4th set of cheese just because I had sooo much chunk and all the shredded bags were gone-I needed mozzarella.
*Onions and apples were more than I’d pay, but I needed the onions and the kids asked for apples. Your kids ask for fruit, you comply 🙂

I like that. If your kids ask for fruit you comply. Wise words! (visitin from 31DBB on BlogFrog!)
Did you see my post from yesterday? I GOT Mozzerella! I was there around 5:00 and they were stocking!!!! I was getting my toothpaste and I saw a lady with cheese and I told her to go find the blinkie. I went back there and she said it was gone! I saw where they pulled it down! WOW, that would have made my $8.98 OOP even cheaper!
I made an unexpected trip to Kroger yesterday too! I didn't get to save as much as you did though. Love your site though
Anastasia-yes, even if the fruit is over my price point I won't deny the kids what they want. Well, unless its $2.99 lb for grapes.
Karen- you had a fantastic Kroger trip!
Nicole-I didn't save as much as Karen, so I guess we're even 🙂 I'm so glad you like the site!
I need to make a trip to Kroger . . . I just feel overwhelmed trying to add another grocery store to my list. LOL
Jen,
I don't usually shop at Kroger, too many stores for me too. I was just able to work the cheese deal into my schedule.
