Super Savings Saturday: 87% Savings at Kroger and Albertson’s

I went to Kroger and Albertson’s yesterday to do a bit of deal shopping and to take advantage of the Kellogg’s promo at Albertson’s.  It was a huge success!  This is a great week to shop, so grab your coupons and go!

I know it’s not yet Saturday, but some of these coupons expire tomorrow, so I wanted to give you time to plan your shopping trip if you’re thinking of going for these deals.

My first stop was Kroger:

1st Transaction:

(1) Gallon Milk $1.68
(4) Bestlife Buttery Spread $1 ea.
(3) Fast Fixin’ Chicken Nuggets $1 ea.
(2) Oral-B Toothbrushes $1 ea.
(3) Crest Toothpaste $1 ea.
(4) Starkist Tuna $1 ea.
– (4) $1/1 Bestlife Buttery Spread or Spray Coupon (6/13 or 7/11 RP)
– (3) $1/1 Fast Fixin’ or On The Go Bag Coupon (ALL YOU Mar or May ’10)
– (1) $2/2 Indicator or Cavity Defense Toothbrushes Coupon (7/4 P&G) *exp 7/31
– (3) 50¢/1 Crest Toothpaste or Liquid Gel Coupon (6/6 P&G or 6/27 RP) *exp 7/31
– (2) $1/2 StarKist Pouch Products Coupon (ALL YOU May ’10)
– (2) 50¢/1 Speed Stick or Lady Speed Stick, excluding .5 oz size Coupon (7/25 SS)***
= $1.58 (tax deducted 10¢)

***Okay, this is a mystery. I KNOW I picked out two deodorants and put them in my cart.  My coupons beeped and I had no idea why but she pushed them through.  I also couldn’t figure out why my total was $2 less than I expected.  Now I realized that the deodorants were not rung up and I did not come home with them. I have NO idea what happened to them! So weird.

My Kroger will only double/triple three “like” coupons in a single transaction.  Since I had 10 50¢/1 Crest toothpaste coupons to use, I needed to split my transactions to be able to use them all.  Don’t worry, I didn’t clear the shelves, and my transactions took only seconds apiece so I did not hold up the line.
