Shopping Trip 3/21- Kroger & Aldi- HUGE Savings!

Best Blogger Tips
So last week (I did not get a chance to share) I stopped in at Kroger to pick up some FREE pasta, chip dip and cheap cheese and daniamals! As you can see the receipt below that if I would have not picked up a drink for myself and some M&M's for our youngest daughter I would have paid absolutely nothing! But sometimes I get thirsty and the little one needs to be bribed to stay in the cart!!! LOL!!

So I paid a total of $1.36 for the following- 98% Savings!!

Kroger Trip- This week!! As you can see I did pick up a few more of  the FREE pasta! Normally I would not get this many, mainly due to my family not being able to use this much, plus I normally do not have that many coupons. But since I am co-hosting the Japan Relief Event at Tri-County Mall I picked up more than normal and I will be donating 45 boxes of pasta to that event.  

Thanks to one of my local readers, Lia, for donating her extra coupons to me so that I could pickup extra boxes of pasta for our event!!

Great job! It's awesome to give out of what you are able to save. The cantaloupes were $1.49 or so in our area. Thanks for linking up at the Bluegrass Savers Weekly Savings Page.

Great deals! Love the free pasta.

I thought the ad was a misprint at first, .49 is the best deal I have ever got on cantaloupe.

I love FREEbies, especially food! Now I get to feed others (my Japan Relief Event) and I was able to do so with out breaking our budget!!
