Our Smiths (Kroger) Shopping Trip Results Saved $50.60 and Spent $20.85

We went to Smiths today which is a local branch of Kroger stores (so many of these items will be on sale at Kroger and affiliates nationwide).  We were able to get everything we wanted EXCEPT the FREE Oral-B Indicator toothbrushes.  They were wiped out 🙁 We got a raincheck, but the coupon expires tomorrow.  So we will be waiting for the next sale and set of coupons to use the raincheck on in hopes of free toothbrushes then!

Here’s the breakdown:

• 4 Cheerios sale for $2.50 each = $10.  Then used two $1/2 7/17 Smart Source Insert = $8.00 for four or $2.00 each.

The total before the sale prices was $71.45.  The sale prices brought the total to $42.25.  We then used $21.40 in coupons which made our final total $20.85! This is a total savings of 72%.

So between this, our $15 produce co-op purchase, meat stock in the freezer and homemade bread – we are set for the week!
