Ok, I didn't get to go to the MEGA Sale until Tuesday night! So I went thinking I wouldn't get much and I'd have to find several Kroger's to get my "goods"! Well - I only had to go to two!!

I got
21 LOL Butter
56 Carnation Evaporated Milk
Several SF veggies and a couple other fillers (snuggle, hot chocolate!)

I spent a grand total of 3.63!!!!

I rarely like Kroger - but I have to say this deal worked perfectly and I got what I needed without too much hassle!

I'm on a "baking supply" kick right now - between WAG flour/sugar/pumpkin and CVS nuts, with this milk and butter I should be set for a while!! I just need a good deal on yeast!

I have been keeping a running tally of my spending and saving during this mega event and I am ready to post my totals. I'm actually quite proud of myself, although I wish I'd have kept the item totals as well as the other totals, oh well, maybe next time.

I spent a total of 168.03 and brought home 623 items.

With coupons and Kroger savings, I saved 1158.35!!!

I have receipts for rebates also. If they all come in, I will get back 110.00.

WOW that is a lot of rebates!
What rebates are you sending off for?

[sadlady12]

I'm doing the Tombstone rebate, the Glade rebates, Kellogg's Calender rebates, Activia, and a Blue Rhino propane tank exchange.

The Tombstone and Glade I'm submitting at my uncle's house as well as mine.
