$6.00 off order - purchased 23 of the Daytona 500 promotional items

receipt reads ***Your Kroger Savings Today***
Mfg Cpn Savings $57.44
Bonus Cpn Savings $11.43
Kroger Plus Savings $44.34
Total Savings (74%) $113.21

Total spent including $1.61 tax = $43.21 for 56 items (77¢/item) - I think I'm okay with that total :P

**Reality Check** I'm not sure I really am okay with the total - I keep thinking "What could I have done to make it less" - time to stop and look at this realistically. Two weeks since I last grocery shopped, enough meat to last at least a week, 77¢/item...I will be okay with this total!

This Week at Kroger (6/24 - 6/30)

I think I'm going to be able to get some good deals at Kroger this week with their buy 10, get $3 off promotion. The ad says no limit on rewards, so I'm hoping as long as you buy the items in multiples of 10 you can do them all in one transaction and not have to do separate transactions. Hopefully, I'll be able to find out today.

Withdrawals....

Last week I was out of town at church camp with our youth group...no internet, no tv, very little phone service...

The week before, our church had VBS at night and my hubby had several doctors' appointments during the days...

All this contributed to my not going to the grocery store for 2 weeks! Oh, the deals I missed!!! :-( Thankfully, I'm getting back into a routine now, so hopefully I will be on top of the deals again!

A Sweepstakes Worth Entering.....

or maybe I just think so because I won something! Here's the scoop - no purchase necessary to win - honestly!

Go to mycoke.com (not mycokerewards.com, this is a different site)
Set up an account
Login to your account
Click on Twist txt get
Click on official rules
Scroll down to section 5b
Click where it say "once logged into your account, click here"
This will bring you to a name/address screen, make sure it is correct (no P.O. Boxes accepted)
Click on continue
The next screen will have a code to enter and a field in which to enter it - it IS case-sensitive
Enter your code (leave the keyword field blank - it is an optional field)
Click enter
It will tell you whether or not you've won this time

You can enter twice a day with no limits on how often you can win. Please be aware that this website may load slooowly sometimes so don't be impatient. You really can with this one - a couple of nights ago I won 2 free movie passes good until Feb 2010 and, wonder of wonders, the Paducah Cinemark is a participating theater. Yup - maybe that's why I think it's worth entering.

**Update...so I looked at it wrong - Paducah Cinemark is not a participating theater, but Cheri in Murray is - still works for me!
