Thrifty Wednesday! :) (with Unadvertised Kroger Deals!)

Well, I decided to do my shopping a little early this week so I could work on my freezer cooking tomorrow and Friday.  I went to CVS, Kroger, and Food Lion this morning!

At CVS, all I bought was 1 box of Stove Top Stuffing mix.  I need it for the meatballs I want to make.  It was regularly priced at $1.99 and I had a CVS coupon for $1 off making it $0.99.  My total after tax was $1.01

Next it was on to Kroger.  I had several things that weren't on sale on my list today because of my freezer cooking plans.  There is still a mega sale going on, but I didn't really want anything from it except for Huggies wipes which they STILL didn't have in stock.  (If this happens to you, make sure you ask for a rain check.  It will be written for the price the item WOULD have been had you bought it as part of the Mega Sale - plus, it has no limit on the number of items you can get at that price!  Kroger rain checks expire within 30 days of the time they are written.)  Most of what I bought was dairy and produce.  I did end up getting FREE organge juice because it rang up incorrectly!!

Total value of 48 items: $114.62
Total spent: $60.18
Total saved: $54.44 or 47%!
