Moving on to Kroger, where I lucked up on some extra savings in addition to what I had planned on getting.
My biggest steals were the Softsoaps, which were on sale for $1 each. I had 7 50 cent coupons, which they of course double to $1 off, so these puppies were free. Same deal on the batteries, they were also on sale for $1 a pack, and I had 75 cents off Duracell and $1 off the Rayovacs so they were all free, except the one Duracell was 25 cents. I felt silly buying all of those when I don't need them, but they don't expire until Dec. 2012, so I think I am ok. Most of our flashlights take C batteries, and living on the coast we have to stock up on these at hurricane season anyway....so I planned ahead. )At least it worked out that way :)
Total retail price: $95.67
Total savings, with coupons and sales: $68.62
My out of pocket cost: $27.05
My hubby says I did pretty good. That makes me proud!

Man! you seriously rock some coupons!!
Way to go, I wish we had double coupons out here, it is so frustrating - but maybe with the economy like it is, some of the stores will start offering them. Our chains are Wal-Mart, Albertsons, Winn Dixie and then the local Associated Grocers stores and they don't double anything. Albertsons has twice since we have lived here in 13 years.
Hey, I hope everything is going as well as it possibly can right now. I know what you are going through isn't easy and I'm praying God will help with the healing process.
