After the manufacturer coupon was doubled from $0.50 to $1.00, and the $1.00 store coupon, AND the $0.35 online coupon, I got $2.35 off my butter!

My first Kroger experience

Well, I drove down to Bourbonnais today to get my first Kroger experience. The first thing I noticed was the hours on the door (open 24/7)...pretty cool. The cleanliness of the store amazed me (guess that's what I get for living in Matteson).

My first stop was the Customer Service counter to get a card. Not only were they prompt an helpful, but they were friendly and SMILING! Call me crazy, but I don't get that too often these days.

Second stop was the produce section...and the realization that I had last week's shopping list. Trust me when I say, I was LIVID! Although, when I looked up and saw Bananas on sale for $0.18 per pound, I decided to still take a look around.

Third stop was the meat department. I made myself a little 'chart' that I refer to when I go in the meat department that tells me what price a good sale is versus a great sale (since I will never pay retail again). I have a 25 Cubic Foot deep freezer in my basement that can more-than hold meat until we're ready to eat it. Well, they had the chicken breasts on sale for $0.97 per pound...THAT'S UNHEARD OF! Damn right, I purchased 10lbs. Jason knows every way to Tuesday how to make chicken with all the different seasonings, breaded, in salad, etc. YIPPEE!

They had their 10 for $10 sale, which isn't out of the ordinary (since every grocery store does it), but the key thing here was that they double coupons. Since Jason and I LOOOOOVE the Pillsbury Buttermilk Grands Biscuits, I picked them up for $1 each, used a $0.30 coupon on each (which doubled to $0.60), so I got ten of these for $4.00...ONLY $0.40 EACH! BUT THAT'S NOT ALL! When I went to check out, the woman said for every 4 I purchase, I get $3 off. So, since I had 10, I got a total of $6...which made all 10 of the biscuits FREE...WITH A $2.00 PROFIT!!!

Anyway, the trip didn't turn out to be a TOTAL waste of time, but there is one last thing I'd like to mention about Kroger's. For every 'green' bag you use at checkout, they give you a $0.05 credit. I know its not much, but I keep a bunch of these in the trunk and brought in 5 of them. I just keep on winning them from here...http://www.rightathome.com/default.aspx

So, now that I have the PROPER SALES AD, I'll report next time on sales, deals, and other whatnots from Kroger.

Until then...
