It's been so long!

I can't believe it has been so long since I posted anything! I am going to try to get back into the swing of things as we approach the new year!

Kroger Paid Me to Take 10 Packs of Cheese!!

Kroger has a GREAT sale this week: Buy 10 (particular) items and get $5 off your order. Kraft singles are part of the sale. If you buy ten, they are only 99 cents each. Wait, it gets better! There is a coupon booklet this is a display near the eggs at Publix that has a $1.50/2 coupon for Kraft cheese making them 24cents each! Wait, it betters better yet! When you buy they you will pay $2.40 but a catalina will print out that is worth $5 off your next order! So you get paid $2.60 to take 10 packs of Kraft cheese slices off their hands! I LOVE better than FREE!!

Each of us is making our own rules. I plan on spending no more than $25 per week on groceries and using the stockpile that I have accumulated. However, I will also be using my WIC coupons. I hope to take pictures of my freezers and pantry before we get started. I plan on posting my menus as we go along. I hope to also post about my shopping trips.

Great Price on Electrasol at Kroger

I have been looking for a deal on Electrasol because I am down to my last two boxes. I was glad to see that Electrasol in on sale for $2.99 this week at Kroger. There are $2.50 coupons out there. I just bought 20 of them on ebay for $2. That will mean that they will cost 49cents per box! Buying 20 boxes and buying the coupons means that I will spend less that $12. That will be 400 uses! That should last me quite a while!
