My K-Mart Double Coupon deals ( $39.94 worth of merchandise for $6.96 + tax)

Well, I made a quick trip to Kmart tonight and the one thing that I really wanted to get was already sold out, (the Gillette Body Wash). They were also out of the Pledge and Endust that I had planned to get. I was told by customer service that they will be restocking everything tomorrow, so maybe I'll get everything else then. My trip wasn't a total waste though, I did manage to snatch up a few other things:

Vaseline Men's body/face lotion - $2.99 - $1.50 cpn dbld = FREE

Olay 4 bars for $4.00 - $2.00 cpn dbld = FREE (I grabbed the last 2 packs and gave one of my cpns to my mom to get her the 2nd pack)

2 Fixodent denture adhesives @$4.49/ each = $8.98 - $2/2 cpn dbld = $4.98 for 2

Total before cpns = $39.94
Total OOP = $6.96 = $1.14 tax = $8.10

HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE!!!

Some Of The Ways That We'll Be Using Our Kroger deals

When I picked up the Honeysuckle Turkey Brats at Kroger's, I had no idea what I was going to make with them or If we would even like them, but for 99 cents, I didn't want to pass them up. So, after looking through Honeysuckle's website, I came across these two recipes that sound really good so I'll make this with one pack: German-Style Turkey Brats And Sauerkraut and I'll make this with the other pack: Bratwurst and Winter Vegetable Stew . Let's hope they're as good as they sound!!

I'm going to make some Soft and Chewy Chocolate-Peanut Butter Cookies with my free cake mix and some of the Philadelphia Cream Cheese.

And one of our all-time favorites, using the crescent rolls, cream cheese, and the sausage, My DH will be in charge of making the Sausage Brunch Braid .

Then, I'll use some of the chicken I got out of the marked down meat bin (the 6.5 lbs for $3.56), the kroger brand salsa & the shredded cheese, and the Daisy sour cream to make Chicken & Sour Cream Enchiladas . I will use THIS RECIPE to make the tortillas, but when I make them this time, I will make the balls slightly larger than what they call for. My family liked them alot better than the store bought ones, but they were too small, no matter how much I rolled them out.

With one of my Libby's pumpkin and some more of the cream cheese, I'll make this Pumpkin-Cream Cheese Bread . Wouldn't a loaf or two of this bread make a wonderful gift!

When Kroger's had their bananas on sale for $0.39/lb, I bought extra, cut them in small pieces and froze them to use later. Well, I think "later" is going to be tomorrow, so I'll make some Cream Cheese-Banana Nut Muffins . Doesn't that sound yummy!! (can you tell that I'm a cream cheese fanatic?)

That's some of the ways we'll be using our Kroger deals...How will you use yours?

• Kroger shredded cheese 3/$5.00 - 0.45 shortcuts cpn = $4.55 for 3 bags
• 2 Tennessee Pride sausage gravy @ $1.00/each - no cpns because the cashier said the cpns I had were only for Tennessee Pride fully cooked product, except she didn't say it in a very nice way. So I said "well, isn't the gravy fully cooked". So no deal here.

That was all of the items I had cpns for plus I got these items just because we needed them:

• onions $2.45
• Honeysuckle Turkey Brats in the markdown bin for $0.99/each = $1.98
• 6.5 lbs chicken in the markdown bin for $3.56
• celery 0.69
• Granny Smith apples supposed to be 3/$1.00 we got 6 and unless I'm overlooking something, it says on the receipt $0.34 total. (maybe that was the cash register's way of saying "I'm sorry for the way the cashier is treating you...here, steal these apples lol.)

• Kroger canned sweet potatoes $0.89
• Kroger margarine spread $2.19

• TOTAL OOP FOR ALL OF THE ABOVE KROGER ITEMS: $47.32

TOTAL FOR ALL THREE STORES: $59.52 - $5.00 (for friends Dole fruit) = $54.52 + $4.50 to spend on my next trip. Which is a whole lot better than our old way of shopping, and our pantry and freezer are actually filling up pretty fast. Anyone have a coupon for a freezer that they'd like to trade lol?

Oh...I was going to go to WalMart, but there was NOWHERE to park, so DH will go tomorrow to pick up the items I had on that list. Shucks!! I REALLY wanted to go (yeah right!!).

Now, I must finish getting my list put together for K-Mart's double cpn sale. Catch ya later!!

I WAS ABDUCTED BY ALIENS!!!

LOL...No I wasn't, I've just been really busy the past few days and unable to post anything. When I did find a few minutes here and there, I made up my shopping lists for tonight. Here's my plan:

KROGER:

• 2 rolls Tenn. Pride sausage for $1.00 each
• 2 pkgs Tenn. Pride gravy for FREE
• 6 Philadelphia Cream Cheeses for $4.50
• 6 cans Veg-all mixed veggies (not sure of price)
• 2 cans Libby's pumpkin for $1.00
• 3 jars of Heinz gravy $2.00
• 10 cans Dole fruit $5.00 (picking these up for a friend of mine so this won't be on my receipt)
• 1 pkg Cottonelle FREE
• 1 Cool Whip whipped topping and 3 boxes jello pudding (not sure what the price will be yet but I have a cpn for $1.00 off the cool whip with 2 boxes of pudding and I also have a cpn for .55 off 3 puddings. Don't know if I can use them all together, but I'm going to try!)
• 2 Pillsbury dinner rolls $0.99 each to $1.50 each (I have 2 $0.55 cents off each that says do not double, but they've doubled them before for me.)
• 3 boxes Green Giant frozen boxed veggies for $1.35
• 1 Pillsbury Crescent roll..have $1.50 off of one not real sure what the price is on those right now.
• 1 bag of OreIda Steam and Mash potatoes...have $2.00 off on one of those so I'll check the price first.
• 2 Pillsbury rolled pie crusts $1.50 off of 2
• Kroger shredded cheese 4/$4.55
• Kroger brand salsa $0.50 off 1 jar

Charmin 4 roll $0.75 off

Well, I think that's it for this trip. I will also check out the discounted meat bin. Always some good deals there. I also sent the hubby out on some grocery runs with alot of coupons. (He's soo sweet). He works close to a Meijer and a SuperValu and they had a few good deals this week that I wanted to get. Keep your fingers crossed for him!! And then there's a couple of things from Walmart that I was going to pick up. This is what I plan on picking up there:

WALMART:

• 4 cans Muir Glen tomatoes (only because my Kroger's doesn't carry these yet) $1.00
• 2 bags Green Giant Valley Fresh Steamers (if I'm being quoted right on the price, these will be free. My first stop will be Kroger's, so if they have them at a good price, I'll just get them there)
• and unless I see some other deals there while I'm looking for the above stuff, that's it for WalMart. I HATE shopping at WalMart so the quicker I get out of there, the better off I'll be!!

So, wish us luck!! I'll be back later tonight to post my deals, so come back and have a looksie.
