Kroger/CVS
Nest. Prepare the Nest.
Nesting.
I’m feeling it…strong! The urge to “stock” up. Not that I don’t have a well built stockpile already. But I want to make it bigger, so that it will last longer! With just a few trips to the grocery store left before baby arrives, the nesting urge is getting stronger and STRONGER.
But I committed myself to stay under the $60/week budget this month. I spent $20.43, $68.19, $67.58 thus far this month. Plus a stop at the farmer’s market over the weekend for a 5 lb. jar of honey for $20.
Leaves me with $64 for this week!
Oh, and please ignore the Mint Milanos! The “nearing the end of pregnancy chocolate/cookie cravings” are a bit of out control! Plus they were only $1, as opposed to $3.49! {munch, munch}
*HOT DEALS*
$.29 cans of diced tomatoes – after sale, store promotion and coupon!!! I have been waiting for this price! I got 15 cans!
This week’s Kroger 10 Item Mega Sale had LOTS of coupon matchups! I was also able to stock up on granola bars ($.99/box after sale/coupons), and 2 more $.19 cans of tomato paste!
Produce – $.99/bunch broccoli, $2.99 pineapple with coupon, bag of lettuce for $.50 using $1 store mailer coupon, 3 lb. bags of apples for $1.28
Meats – 1 pkg ground chuck, on sale for $1.69/lb!
Total spent at Kroger: $61.53 – $1 catalina = $60.53
Total spent at CVS (1 pkg diapers): $9.88 - $3 coupon from Huggies free sample – $.50 ECB - $1.50 Upromise rebate – $.75 Caregiver’s Marketplace Rebate = $4.79!!!
Total for the week: $20 + $4.79 + $60.53
Total for the month: $241.52
Just $1.52 over my $60/week goal!…not too shabby since that includes some major stocking up and diapers

I really wish we had a Krogers by us.
You are so inspiring! I did the best ever at Walgreens this week. $44 worth of stuff for $12!!! Best ever:-)
When is the best day to shop at Kroger for their specials? I work full time and can’t get to the store first thing in the morning so I went at 5:30 last night to get my Mega 10 items and half of them were totally sold out so I couldn’t complete the rest of it. Not sure when or if they restock every night. Do you have any insight in that?
