Kroger - Stock up on chicken

It is time to stock up on chicken again.  The last time I bought chicken was Feb. 19 and I had intended to stock up more then, but ran out of time to prepare it for the freezer.  I have a little more time now and plan on stocking up a bit.

I like to buy a bunch when it is this price and cut my own to make boneless, skinless chicken breasts and then I freeze them in serving size portions.  But I have to admit that I totally despise cutting it and while I cut and hack at the chicken, I am contantly saying to myself "I'm saving over $1 a pound, I'm saving over $1 a pound!"  When I'm done hacking at the chicken (can you tell I SO love doing this job and am SO good at it too!...HaHa!) I boil the leftover meat and bones and then take off the cooked meat and freeze it for chicken salad or to use in recipes that need cooked chicken.  Sometimes I will even be very efficient and use the stock for soup or to make a white sauce (well I guess it's not quite a white sauce when you use chicken stock - I think it is called some other kind of sauce).  There is an added benefit of being able to store more in the freezer as well.

Here's what I got:
19.6 lbs chicken breast   .99 lb
1 sirloin steak (can't remember the size)  5.53  Mgr Special
1 wheat bread   .79  Mgr Spec
1 can green beans  .39
1 can beets      .29
1 can hominy    .39
1 can corn       .39   (all cans were mgr spec)
1 small bottle Odwalla juice    .79  mgr spec  (DS7 was thirsty and I am trying to get him to eat more fruit)

Total OOP:  28.89
Didn't use a bit of coupons this time but saved:   16.39

Trip #2
No picture because the Snickers are for Easter baskets and I didn't want to lay them all out for the kids to see.
ETA:  Guess I took a picture of some of it.  And I totally forgot about the beef I found too:

20 lbs chicken
8 Snickers bars   2/1.00  used  .50/2 dbl  =  FREE
1 pkg hot dog buns    .49   mgr spec
2 lb bag mini cut carrots   1.49   mgr spec

Total OOP:  31.50 ?  can't remember exactly


Wanted to add a forgotten Kroger run for milk last week.
4 gal milk  1.99 ea

Total OOP:  8.20

Third Kroger trip:
I was right next to Kroger, so decided I would stop in and shop the $4 off 8 products March into Savings sale.

3 pkgs shredded Mozarella cheese   .99 ea   used   3   $2/2  =  free
 3 pkgs cheddar cheese    .99ea   =  free w/ above coupons
6 pkgs parmesan cheese  .99 ea    used  3   .50/2 dbl   =  .49 ea
8 Snickers   2/$1   used  4  .50/2 dbl  =  free
6 pkgs Irish Spring soap (for my dad)  1.00 ea   used  3  $ .50/2 dbl  =  .50 ea
6 Powerade  .49 ea  used $1/2 catalina and .55/2 Kroger coupon
3  SunnyD    1.00ea  used  3  .25/1 dbl  =  .50ea
4 lbs bananas  .39 lb
2 Yakisoba   .79ea  used 2  .50/1  =  free (no overage)
1 Bottom Round Roast  8.24  Mgr Spec   (originally was 13.54)

1.49 ecoupon came off total (from playing game)
So my total before coupons & sales:  93.46
Total OOP:   $19.51 

At least some of the cheese will qualify for the Kraft buy $20, get $2 OYNO coupon.  The coupon will print out in about a week. 

I wanted Homemade Chili - stopped at Kroger

Well, it was cold and I wanted chili over baked potatoes (hence the 20 lbs of potatoes)  plus we were out of coffee! (I know I still have another coffee 'somewhere', but can't seem to find it!  So I bought another one and (hiding my face...) I didn't even look at the price!  Eeek!

While there, I took a quick look at the mark-down meat and found a roast.  I got some hamburger meat for the chili basically just to save time so I wouldn't have to thaw frozen meat. 

And then I found those cute little 'steak thingies wrapped in bacon' for .99.  Don't know what they are, never had them before, but we're going to try them for .99.  One problem though...2 steak thingies - 8 people.  How's this going to work?

I was getting a few things for my dad since he couldn't get out.  Those things are not pictured as I took them to my dad.  He will pay me for his stuff.

Ground beef  6.76
Chuck steak  4.90
Eggs        1.39
trash bags  2.99
2 'steak thingies'  .99ea  orig 2.50ea
3 Hershey morsels  1.39ea  orig ? (they were mgr special)
Kroger tea bags   2.79
Odwalla juice  .79  mgr spec  orig ?  (not pictured)
5 Kroger kidney beans  .69ea (for chili)
2 Kroger bread  1.00ea
2 10lb potatoes  3.99ea (could have saved money going somewhere else, but...I didn't)
2 big Hershey candy bars  .90ea (mgr special - not pictured, gave them to my dad)
1 Kroger peanut butter  2.49  (for dad)
2 Kroger wheat bread  .78ea (for dad)
2 boxes cookies  1.09ea (for dad)

Total OOP:  $61.21 (my part was $43.87)
Not sure how much I saved:  reciept says  a whopping  $3.48

More Free Milk at Kroger!

I have noticed that I haven't bought much meat and produce lately, but I assure you that we do eat lots of it!  I usually buy meat less often but in large quantities when it is on sale and then I buy produce along the way.  This Kroger trip I found lots of meat on manager special!  Yeah!  We were almost out of beef!
I have been sick this week and I am glad that I had made my shopping list earlier in the week.  All I had to do was go down the list and then scan through the mark-down produce and meat.  
At the time I was shopping, I was planning on taking all 6 kids on a road trip Saturday and was planning on feeding them breakfast and lunch in the car.  Some of this was meant to be appropriate for meals/snacks in the car. Especially what I bought at Ingles right after I left Kroger!

Here's what I ended up getting:
2 Fruit Loops  2.50 - 1/2  =  2.00ea
2 Corn Pops   2.50 - 1/2  =  2.00ea
2 Flipsides pretzels  2.50  - 1/2  = 2.00ea
4 Keebler choc chip cookies  2.50- 1/2  =  2.00ea
4 gal milk  2.28 - 2.28 promo  = all 4 for Free!
4 Pepperidge Farm cookies  2.00- .50/1  =  1.00ea
2 donuts  .79 Mgr Spec
1 lb Oscar Mayer turkey   3.99 - 3.99 = free (coupon for free OM lunch meat)
1 canteloupe  1.38
10 apples  $1/lb  =  5.00
1 blueberries  1.79 Mgr Spec
1 Round roast  9.09
2 stew beef   7.61
2 Chuck steak  7.61

Total before sales/coupons:  106.47
Total OOP:  $60.10

And this will qualify for the Kelloggs/Keebler $10 Rebate as well!

My other shopping trips this week:  Ingles (39.55), Ingles(34.08), Kroger(20.67).

I had so much FUN at Kroger last night!

On my way home, I called my DS and asked if we needed anything.  He said YES! Bring Milk!!  So, off I went to Kroger and look what I got!

2 boxes Frosted Flakes on sale for 2.50 ea  - 1.50/2 = 3.50/2
2 boxes Rice Crispies   on sale for 2.50ea  - 1/2 = 2.00ea
2 boxes Apple Jacks  sale for 2.50ea  - 1/2 = 2.00ea
2 boxes Corn Pops  sale for 2.50  - 1/2 = 2.00ea
2 boxes Keebler cookies  sale for 2.50  - 1/2 = 2.00ea
2 loaves white bread  mgr spec  .39ea
2 loaves wheat bread  mgr spec  .39ea
4 gallons milk  2.28ea = Free due to sale *see below
1 bottle Odwalla strawberry juice  mgr spec  .79 (not pictured)

Here is the current deal at Kroger:
   *When you buy 4 Kelloggs or Keebler items (selected items marked on shelf tags), then you get 2 gallons of milk for free.  Limit 2 deals per transaction.  This made all 4 gallons of milk FREE!

I also used my last $2/1 coupon from all the cheese I bought a few weeks ago during the Mega Sale.

My total OOP was:  $20.67  AND  since I bought 10 Kelloggs/Keebler items in one transaction it qualifies for the Kelloggs rebate, so I will get $10 back!!

After the rebate it will have cost only $10.67 for all of that!!

My other shopping trips this week:  Ingles (39.55), Kroger(60.10), Ingles (34.08).

Kroger this week

I didn't do alot of shopping this week, but I did make a quick stop one evening at Kroger to get some of the .99lb chicken breast.  I didn't take a picture of yucky raw chicken, but I bought 6 pkgs.

I like to buy a bunch when it is this price and cut my own to make boneless, skinless chicken breasts and then I freeze them in serving size portions.  But I have to admit that I totally despise cutting it and while I cut and hack at the chicken, I am contantly saying to myself "I'm saving over $1 a pound, I'm saving over $1 a pound!"  When I'm done hacking at the chicken (can you tell I SO love doing this job...HaHa!) I boil the leftover meat and bones and then take off the cooked meat and freeze it for chicken salad or to use in recipes that need cooked chicken.  Sometimes I will even be very efficient and use the stock for soup or to make a white sauce (well I guess it's not quite a white sauce when you use chicken stock - I think it is called some other kind of sauce).

I will probably go back and get some more at this price.  My freezer is low on chicken breasts (and other meat too, much to my dismay)  I guess I will be spending more soon to restock my freezer with meat!

Total OOP:  20.23

Almost forgot!  I did go one other time this week to Kroger - no picture :(  I had two rainchecks that were going to expire on the 16th...

2 Purex    2.49
6 Banquet meals  1.00  - .60/6 from inside pkg
1 pkg Kroger Swiss cheese slices  1.49
1 can Chef Boy ravioli  1.00
(-3.00 for Daytona sale)
12 Kroger peanut butter 1.00ea (used raincheck)
10 Pillsbury brownie mix 1.00 - 1/2 (used raincheck & coupons from a friend!  Thank you so much friend!!)

Total OOP:  27.92


I also shopped at Publix and Walmart.
 

Kroger - 2/12

Here was a quick shopping trip.  Didn't need much after last week - HaHa!

 

2 loaves bread  1.00ea

1 head lettuce  .69

Total OOP: 2.77

Also went to Publix (a bit more exciting), Ingles, and Walmart.  Grand total for the day:  39.20

Kroger Shopping

I needed to use a Rain Check tonight since my coupons for Bird's Eye vegetables were expiring today, so I made a quick run by Kroger. Here is what I got:

10 bags Birds Eye veggies  1.00 (used RC) - .50/1 dbl = Free
6 Softsoap  1.00 - .35/1 dbl = .30ea
1 box Sea Salt  1.99
1 gal distilled water  .89

Would have been: 23.03
Total OOP:  5.19

Here is my Publix Shopping the same day.

Kroger - Mega Sale!

I know, I keep shopping and shopping, but if I remember correctly in years past, I did the same thing.  I shop and shop and shop in January and then I don't do alot of shopping for several months. 

 

8 pkgs Mission tortillas  1.49 - .75/1 coupons = .75ea

  

Found out at Christmas that my family really likes these.  I would NEVER pay almost $4 a pkg for rolls. But for $1.99 - .50/1 dbl = .99ea,  I stocked up on these.

  

10 bags Goldfish  .88 ea

  

This is what brought my total up so high!  DS wanted some body wash and we needed the battery charger.  The Axe was part of the Mega sale = $2.49.  Dial had $1/1 blinkies beside them and were on sale 3/$10, so $2.33ea.  My camera goes through batteries like there's no tomorrow, and at $10 each time that gets too expensive.  So we went ahead and bought a battery charger w/ batteries for $16.

And finally the tomatoes.  Stocked up for spaghetti sauce and chili.  Plus, we never have paper/plastic cups and during the spring and summer months we always have tons of kids.  So hence the need for cups.  We are set for the summer - especially if I can make them put their names on the cups and try to wash and reuse them some.

Solo cups  1.48 - 1/1  =  .48ea

Hunts tomato sauce  .49 - .45/3  =  .19ea

Rotel tomatoes  .49 - .30/1  =  -.11ea

Krusteaz cookie mix  1.48 - 1/1  =  .48ea

Would have been:  138.38

Total OOP:  52.37 ($28 of it was the soap and battery charger)

Kroger - Mega Sale!

 

Well, so much for the Pantry Challenge!  

Here is what I got!!

The picture actually goes with the 2nd and 3rd transactions listed below. 

9 Finish detergents 

1 Sobe Life Water

1 Kroger sour cream

Some of this was for my dad, so I will get $11 back

My OOP: 18.89

5 Propel

7 rotel tomato

10 Goldfish

4 doz brown eggs  mgr special  .89ea

2 Quakes

4 Ziploc containers

2 I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter

Would have been:  62.52

OOP:  20.19

I splurged with the Ziploc containers, but I NEVER buy these.  I tried to match 1 Ziploc with 1 Quakes to make them .99

Probably could have done better, but I thought that was pretty good.

Also, several other splurges: Farm Rich appetizers (normally $7 for $3) and even .88 for Goldfish adds up.  I never buy these

Either – one bag goes too fast! And 1 is never enough for all 8 of us!

Recap:  398.48 of stuff for 82.31 and I will get $11 back
