Kroger

Trip 1: Had to take my kid to the doctor this morning, and did some shops while I was up there. I had intended to blow the rest of whatever Kroger coupons I had there, but then for some reason I can't remember I decided I was going to do another shop later, so I only spent half my coupons.

I played the Hoopty game before we left this morning, and won that big jug of coffee for freeeeeeeee!
The Snickers and Bread was also free with coupons.
The Prevecid and Nature Bounty vitamins scored me overage.

I screwed up on the butter...I had read a comment that I thought had said the I Can't Believe it's Not Butter was on sale for .98 and giving $2.00 OYNOs. So of course I didn't get any OYNO, and came home and looked again and it was the Promise spread. Bah.

I was buying the Post cereal at Food Lion's BOGO sale this week, paying like $1.04 after coupons....then Kroger's $4/4 sale turned out to be better, making them $1.00 a box after coupon.
I was fully prepared to pay $1.00 a box, too.

At home I counted my boxes of Prevecid and saw that I still had one more to go, so I found which card hadn't had the Kroger coupon loaded, and loaded it, and headed out, intending to finish off the last of my coupons today.

Got there and realized I had neglected to get a paper coupon for the Prevecid. Argh!

Turned out it worked out alright anyway because I needed gas, and had decided to buy it last so I could see how many points I had on my card. But I wasn't going to use my card to buy the Prevecid, and turned out this shop gave me the (2) points I needed to get $0.10 off my gas. Soooo.

I got the right butter this time. The post I read said she'd bought (4) and got (2) $2.00 OYNO. I couldn't decide whether to try (2) or (4), so figured I better go with what was proven, only it wasn't, I only got (1) $2.00 OYNO.
I probably could have gone to the CS desk and asked to do a return/rebuy and get another one, but it was late and busy, and I had got it for free anyway, so I just went on.
