My Kroger Shopping Trip 6-21-11


Normally here on Tennessee Coupon Queen, I highlight by drug store shopping trips and those where I spend very little out of pocket. Unless my family plans to eat toothpaste and diapers for dinner, I have to do "regular" grocery shopping, too. So today, I decided to tell you what I bought and spent (and saved!) today at Kroger. The prices listed are after my Kroger Plus savings. Here was my shopping list (I know it may not seemed like a well-balanced list in terms of meals, but this is what we needed this week and/or had good coupons for):

1 gallon Kroger brand milk ($3.29)
2 Slim Fast Meal Bar multi-packs ($5.45 each)
2 one-half gallons of Turkey Hill Lemonade ($1.99, B1G1)
