Kroger savings

With the mega event at Kroger the past 2 weeks I have been beside myself with savings. I have to say I had tried to use coupons many times before and I never felt like I was saving anything so I gave up. That is not the case now. I love to be able to share my tips and tricks and I love to give away things that I have to friends and family that may need or want something. I feel very blessed to be doing so well with my coupons.

While waiting on my husband to get home from work I sat down and crunched some numbers and would love to share them with everyone.

My totals for the Kroger 2 weeks of mega events goes like this:

Total: $590.53
Actual out of pocket: $176.30

That is a 70% savings for the 2 weeks. Going even further that I purchased 256 items which makes that about $1.45 an item!

I love numbers they make things seem much more real. I also have a love for spreadsheets and have been keeping track of all my store savings.

Here is the Kroger spreadsheet. I started this when I started doing coupons, so about 4 months now.



I shop monthly for our food. Meaning I make a monthly meal plan and shop one time for everything I need. I usually make a weekly trip for my deals and for perishable items or if I forgot something. My budget before coupons was $200 a month which was hard but doable. Now this month I spent about $60 for the entire month! I can really see a huge difference now.

THANK YOU COUPONS!
