The Dollar Store??? What's that?


I was moody this afternoon so I clipped and filed my coupons and headed off to Kroger to get some deals once the kids were in bed. While there I learned that K-Mart was doubling coupons up to $2.00 this week and since I was without kiddos I headed that way once I was done at Kroger. Here are my deals, it is unbelievable what I paid for all this!!

The one above is my trip to K-Mart. 4 boxes band aids $2.19 each, 2 pkg Halls $1.99 each, 3 Secret deo's 2.34 each and 2 Gillette shave gels $2.69 each. Subtotal before coupons was $25.72.....drum roll please.......................$4.40!!!! Can you believe it!? Without coupons that total would have been 1/4 of my grocery budget for the week, but with my coupons it was only about 5%!!! I know, I rock! ;0)

But seriously, anyone could totally rock it at K-Mart this week!

Here is my Kroger run......3 1/2 gallons Kroger milk $1.25 each, 2 Softsoaps $1.00 each, 4 Suave deo's $1.00 each, Cheerios $2.00, 2 boxes Fiber One bars $2.00 each, Blistex from clearance bin .99 and .49 Neo to go from clearance bin $1.29....Subtotal before coupons was $15.38 (Kroger deal this week buy 3 items for $6.00 and receive 3 1/2 gallons milk free), so the milk was free! After coupons tho and actually making .30 cents on one of the Blistex my total was $4.92!!!! Pretty awesome!!!!

So , it was a fun night in the Dobra household playing "Guess how much I spent" with Mick as I unpacked my deals and took pics for the bl0g...and my dear hubby has learned to guess higher than he thinks, otherwise I get my feelings hurt for doing better....but hey tonight I did better than one could do at the Dollar Store!
