Big Kroger savings!

30. Saved $100 at Kroger!

It's Tuesday, and you know what that means--- Sr. discount at Kroger! I actually organized my coupons today and headed to the store at 4 p.m. (Most of my fellow seniors, I'm sure, had already finished their shopping, put away the groceries, and were getting up from their naps by now!) Two and a half hours later !!! I finished my shopping, though I mostly hit up the right side of Kroger- still need more real food from the left side...

My receipt shows that I saved:
$39.49 in MFG CPN savings
2.00 in Bonus CPN savings
48.81 in Kroger Plus savings
for a total of $90.30 (31%)

But wait, there's more--- my nice little checker guy didn't ask "do you want to use your Senior discount?" so I inquired about it. He said it didn't show up, but that I could go to Customer Service with my receipt and get refunded. That amounted to another $10.04, for a Grand Total of $100.34!!!

Disclaimer: I apparently accidentally cheated Kroger- my receipt said that my "Senior 5% Discount was used on Jun 21, 2011." I called Cate on my way home and she said that she had been shopping just an hour before me and was asked if she wanted to use her Senior discount. She said "Huh? Uh, sure!" so we unintentionally used it twice in the same day. We didn't know that we are evidently using the same Kroger card. No wonder she never gets her 10-cent per gallon discount- I beat her to it every month! Poor Cate :)

As a side note, I have a little extra shampoo, deoderant, and toothpaste if you are running low. Probably gonna donate a little to some folks who need it more than we do. And I have 15 bottles of Gatorade (it was buy 10, get 5 free!), but I'm sure Brian & Clay can handle that surplus :)
