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!)

Have you checked with Mid-Ohio food bank. A lot of suburbs have food pantries. Gahanna has one at Stonybrook Methodist church.
