I went shopping tonight.
I went shopping tonight without kids.
I went shopping tonight without kids and took my time.
I went shopping tonight without kids and took my time and saved BIG TIME!
On the way home I called my fabulous husband to tell him about my escapades. He was less than impressed. Thanks to my great friend and incredible mom for sharing in my excitement. They could hear me smiling over the phone. Why was I smiling so huge that I had to call people and share, you ask?
Kroger has great deals this week. You get 10 items and automatically get $5 off your purchase. You can combine as well, so if you have 20 items you get $10 off. Not only are they great deals, they are name brands like Philadelphia cream cheese, Kraft cheese blocks and slices, Pop Tarts, DiGiorno, Edy's ice cream. Yeah, total score on that alone. Then, go and add some coupons on top. Yeah baby! Kroger is also doubling up to $.50, so double score.
The loot... 8 boxes Kraft Mac n Cheese, 2 large Jell-O Pudding, 2 Cream Cheese, 2 Kraft Pepper Jack blocks, 2 Kraft singles, 2 12 count Pop Tart, 2 Nestle chocolate chips, 1 DiGiorno flatbread (Tuscan Chicken, YUM), Edy's Mint Brownie Bites Overload. I also got Tyson boneless, skinless on a good sale and Tostitos chips for my fabulous husband to use with his favorite salsa that I have a stock of, but no chips with which to eat it.
The deals... multiple coupons on cream cheese, cheese, slice cheese, pop tart, chocolate chips, and DiGiorno.
In the ad you could purchase Playtex, Energiser, or Shick items and get $5 off your next purchase. Slight problem... the ad was a misprint and you had to spend $25 on participating products to get the deal. I walked my little self over and returned that Shick I didn't need but bought for $1 to get the coupon.
Grand total... about $25 for everything. SCORE!!!
I also hit it pretty good at Target. Now I get to build my own Coupon Notebook. Digging through my little envelope just didn't cut it tonight. Time to get more put together. Take some time, save some cash. Sounds good to me. And I really like the idea of shopping alone, even if it is when most people are going to bed.

KUDOS! I love love love the deals we smart moms get with coupons! Isnt Tiffany the greatest! I wanted to quit couponing twice already (I just started) but she kept me going. I am SO Glad!!! Good Luck on your future ventures!
P.S. I had a stock pile of salsa also and if you throw it into a pot and add some thin steak or chicken and just let it sit until its done it makes the BEST meal!!! Your hubby will love it!

YAY! Isn't it so much fun to save money! You feel such a sense of accomplishment- I have NEVER been good with coupons because I am so unorganized- but I used like 5 the other day and was SO proud of myself, I only saved like 7 bucks...but I was SOOOO PROUD of that 7 bucks!
