Kroger Shopping 10/30

farnama@gmail.com (Amber) — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 15:18:00 +0000

This my only shopping trip last week. I headed to Kroger hoping to get everything on my list. I cannot find my receipt, this week has left me a little lost, but I know that I had 20 items toward the mega event.
I used coupons on things such as the lean cuisines, the star vinegar, the yogurt, the land o lakes butter, the whole grain bread and more.

I bought a lot of fresh fruits and veggies however I had to pick up some junk food for the girls halloween sleepover.

My total spent was $83.40! $20 of that total went to the slumber party food and some things we needed to take dinner to my sister in laws on friday night.

I didn't shop any where else since we were all sick. Add it to last weeks shopping and I spent a total of $152.20 for this payday.

Sickness hits our home

farnama@gmail.com (Amber) — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 02:07:00 +0000

This week has been an absolute blur. Monday started out just fine but by Tuesday things were going a little crazy. I had to take Emeri to the e.r. really early Tuesday morning. I was concerned she may have swine flu and because she has asthma I wasn't waiting to take her in later. She was tested and sure enough it was positive. The Dr checked out her lungs and said they were great and that we caught it real early.

She came home and started her Tamiflu and I began having a horrible cough. By Tuesday evening I was running a fever and Jonah came home from school sick and feverish. Wednesday morning Jonah and I headed to the local clinic since our family Dr is almost an hour away and I was running a 102 fever and didn't have the energy to make the trip.

We were tested for strep throat, swine flu and some bad viral infection that is going around. Jonah and I ended up having the viral infection and I was way worse than she was.

Emeri's Tamiflu worked wonders and she headed back to school on Thursday, Wow! I was impressed. Jonah was put on one medicine and she got to go back to school today. The girls are both doing great! I was put on 3 different medicines and although I am improving I am still feeling quite bad. Thankfully I have no more fever.

I only made one shopping trip this past week and it was to Kroger. Hopefully I will get it posted tomorrow and hopefully next week things will be back to normal around here.

Target Shopping a How To

farnama@gmail.com (Amber) — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 21:09:00 +0000

I will tell you straight up that Target has been a little difficult for me. I have gotten some amazing deals but I have also dealt with a few cashiers and 1 Manager that weren't so coupon friendly.

What kind of coupons does Target Accept? Target issued coupons and Manufacturer coupons including internet Printables. (check out the Target coupon policy here)

What are Target issued coupons? Sometimes you will find "Target" coupons in news papers. They will have the Target symbol on them. Sometimes you will receive "Target" Coupons in the mail. You can also print "Target" coupons online here and here.

Is it true the Target coupons can only be used 1 per transaction? The coupons do state 1 per transaction, however, it really depends on the cashier or store Manager. So far I have never had a cashier refuse me to use more that 1 coupon at a time.

Can you really combine a Target Coupon and a Manufacturer's coupon? Yes you can! This is where the big savings can come in.

Recently I bought Skippy Peanut Butter for $2.04 a jar. I used $1 off Target coupons and 40cents off Manufacturer coupons to get the Peanut Butter for 64cents a jar.

You can check out a couple recent Target trips here and here.

Can I use my coupons on something that is on clearance or costs less than the amount of the coupon? Yes! As long as the item you are purchasing matches the wording on the coupon you can. According to the coupon policy above the cashier can adjust the coupon down to make the item free. I personally have had cashiers who adjusted the coupon and some who allow it to go through as is which gives you overage. I wouldn't expect the overage but be happy when you get it.

When I shop at Target or Walmart I choose my cashier carefully. If there happens to be a young guy cashier I will always go to him. Otherwise I look for a young girl. I have found many times the older cashiers think it is their duty to decide whether or not you should be able to use a coupon. I have experienced this and it wasn't so fun. Once you start couponing the stores often you will figure out which cashiers are the most coupon friendly.
