Kara's Publix & Kroger Trip 10/31

Wow! Busy, Busy Day! I went to Publix, then to my mom's work to give her my cold groceries, then to Kroger for more deals, then back to my mom's work to get my groceries from her then home to unload all of the groceries! Whew, I'm tired again just thinking about it, but I got some really good deals so it was more than worth it. I normally don't shop at Kroger because it confuses me and I've gotten so use to Publix and there policy so it's just easier for me if I stick to my one store, but Kroger had some really good deals that I just couldn't pass up this week so I did my best! The best advice I can give you when it comes to couponing is to pick one store and learn it really good before you try to move onto another store! That was the best advice I got and it has saved a lot of headaches and gas! It's so much easier just going to Publix once a week and being able to get all I need at that one store. I know by doing this I probably miss out on a lot of other good deals at other stores, but for me it's not a good deal if I'm using all my gas everyday going from store to store trying to get every deal out there!

 

Anyways, today I did venture out and go pick up a few things from Kroger so here's how I did...

 

Total Before Coupons - $100.03

Total After Coupons - $47.57

Total Savings - $62.86

 

And here's how I did at Publix...

Total Savings - $176.77
