Just got back from Kroger's Mix & Match Mega Event and this is what all I got:
1 box Trix cereal
1 box cheerios
1 box cookie crisp
2 boxes Total
11 boxes Swiss Miss Hot Chocolate
2 bottles pancake syrup
1 Right Guard deodorant
2 boxes Betty Crocker potatoes
2 Tony's Pizzas
1 container sour cream
1 Pillsbury crescent roll
1 box Quaker Oats
2 Pillsbury Toaster Streudels
3 colgate toothpastes
1 (4 roll) pkg Cottonelle
3 bars Dial Soap for men
TOTAL: $20.29
Not too bad!
The toilet paper and the crescent rolls were free with coupons. And I screwed up somehow with the cookie crisp. It said on the shelf that it was one of the mix/match deals but when I got to the register, the cashier gave me my total and I told her that wasn't right. We looked over the receipt and the only thing she found was that I only had 29 qualifying products and that 1 more product would get my other $5.00 back. (which is where the extra hot chocolate came from) When I got home, I really studied my receipt and it was the cookie crisp that didn't ring up right. I guess it would be too late to do anything about it now? Oh well, if I did this with what little coupons I had, I can't wait till I get my stash built up!!! Hubby was impressed and my DS#2 said "yeah right, you didn't get all that for $20.00." I showed him the receipt and he got this big grin on his face and said..."well, not bad...better luck next time." lol

Hi there! Thanks for the comment on my blog. I would think you could call Kroger and just tell them when you got home you realized an item didn't ring up correctly. I would assume they can do a price adjustment for you.
I went on Sunday and didn't realize until I got home that 2 cans of my evaporated milk had expired last month! I plan on taking them back with my receipt tomorrow.
Great trip!
girl you are being modest!!!! I think you did AWESOME........and just think if you had more coupons. can't wait to check out more of your adventures........
keep on couponing!!!!!!
p.s. my kids get akick out of guessing how much stuff costs me.......they are getting better and better at it too :)
Thanks sherri and couponnerd for taking the time to read and comment on my post. I have learned soo much from all of you guys. And I think it'll get easier and easier the more I do. For example...my first trip To K-mart was "hectic". After I got everything a little more organized, my second trip (kroger's) went sooo much smoother. I wasn't frantically searching for that one coupon that I knew I had, It was right there in its appropriate place and ready to use. And after my experience with the Kroger trip, I've learned that you need a backup plan. My original plan included getting 10 of the lint rollers and 10 of the sponges, but I guess that was everyone else's plan also because they were GONE!! So I found myself a quiet little spot in the store and quickly made up a plan B and overall I would say it was a successful trip. Well, gotta get ready for work...thanks again guys for stopping by.
