I won’t send you any spam, ever. Promise!

Okie dokie folks – here’s a peek at everything I bought at Kroger this week! Since moving to Ohio I’ve had a horrible time getting into a good schedule for menu planning, cooking and grocery shopping, but this since this week my kids are all back in school for a full week I am so ready to get back at it.

(I can’t even believe how ready I was to organize my menu plan this weekend and even get my coupons together. . . I’ve decided there’s a season for everything, and I’m ready for this season!)

Kroger has a bunch of mobile coupons that you can use up to 5 times per card this week, so I took advantage of those as well as picked up several items we just needed. The picture at the top is everything I bought for $76.90, which is a week full of groceries except for some produce that I’ll swing by Aldi for.

Here are just the really *good* deals that I don’t want you to miss (watch for those below with an *** by them so you can easily scope them out – my favorites were definitely the $.69 salad and Suave Shampoos!)

Transaction #1

***2 Palmolive Soaps 2/$5
Used (2) $.50/1 Palmolive coupons from the 7/27 Smart Source insert (these just expired – you could also use the $.50/1 coupon from the August All You Magazine)

And here’s what we’re donating this week. I still haven’t found a food pantry yet to take these to (I’m thinking I’ll save most of them for Holiday Food Boxes), but if you know of a drop off place for food in the Northern Columbus, Ohio area, I’d love to hear about it!
