Kroger Trip 8/28

My mother & I each needed a few things so I made a trip to Kroger yesterday. My family are big bread eaters so I'm trying to make sure I get as many crescent rolls as we will eat before the expiration date. Also needed to get a cake mix to make my son's birthday cake this weekend and was wanting a few items (okay, junk food) for quick lunches at home, and some flavored water for my son to take in his school lunch. Here's what I got.

6 roll pack Viva paper towels, $5.99

Here's a shock - I ended up with 43 Mega Event items instead of just 40...LOL. I always lose track but I don't mind as long as it's just a few extra instead of being one short! It still comes out to 46.5¢ per item.

Mfg Cpn Savings $39.59
Bonus Cpn Savings $12.97
Kroger Plus Savings $63.32
Total Savings (71%) $115.88


So my total was $46.31 (including 92¢ tax) for 68 items. That's 68¢ per item so I think I'm still okay!
