Kroger's: What deals this week!!! (Nov.3 - 9)

Kroger's is again running their "10 Item Mega Event" this week and the savings are GREAT!
For every 10 items that you purchase that are listed in the ad, you receive $5 off your grocery bill immediately. The breakdown here is that you save an extra $.50 off each item when you buy in increments of 10. There is a limit to 3 rewards, or $15 off, per transaction. So, I went thru the line 3 different times with no problems. I did take the groceries I purchased to the car each time, but simply turned around and went back in for more deals.

Here's how I broke it down:

Transaction #1:
6 Domino Sugars $2.50 - .50 per deal -.50 cpn doubled = $1 each
9 Betty Crocker Potatoes $1.50 -.50 per deal - .35 cpn doubled = $.30 each
8 General Mills cereals $2.00 - .50 per deal - 1.00 cpn = $.50 each
5 Scotch Lint rollers $1.00 - .50 per deal - .50 cpn doubled = free plus overage of $.50
2 Quaker oats $1.50 -.50 per deal -.50 cpn doubled = free
3 Ronzoni Smart Taste pasta $1.64 -1.00 cpn = $.64 each
7 Pedigree Good Bites dog treats $3.73 - free cpn = free
1 Mighty Dog Food can $.89 - free cpn = free

oop: $14.26

Transaction #2
4 Orville Redenbacher popcorn $2.00 - .50 per deal -.40 cpn doubled = $.70 each
6 Edwards pie slices $1.50 - .50 per deal -$1/2 cpn = $.50 each
1 Large eggs $1.79 - free cpn = free
2 Bic shavers $2.50 -.50 per deal - 2.00 cpn = free
5 Colgate toothpastes $1.50 -.50 per deal -.75 cpn doubled = free
3 Dial Bar soap $1.50 -.50 per deal - .30 cpn doubled = $.40 each
1 package napkins (no coupon, but needed!) 1.67

oop: $9.83

Transaction # 3
4 Bic shavors $2.50-.50 per deal - 2.00 cpn = free
3 Nestle chocolate chips $2.50 -.50 per deal - 1.00/3 cpn. = $1.67 each
20 Carnation evaporated milk $1.00 - .50 per deal -.50/2 cpn doubled = free
3 Dial Bar soap $1.50 -.50 per deal -.30 cpn doubled = $.40 each

oop: $6.65

So, my toal oop (out of pocket) for the day was $30.74. It's a little higher than some, but I'm stocking up on essentials for Christmas cookie baking!
Total coupon redeemed = 135.70!! All in one afternoon at Kroger's!
