So, I have been cutting out coupons and looking up how to save money at the grocery store online. I even made a binder and put a lot of the coupons I had clipped into it before the trip. I felt really prepared. Once I got to Kroger, where Lucas and I decided we would like to make our 'home' grocery store, I started seeing lots of things that I had coupons for BUT that's where this blog comes in. Lucas and I also really love Aldi's. Over the next several weeks I plan to really compare individual items and totals at each store to help me determine where to go for which item. Here is my itemized list of total cost of each item and grand total before and after taxes.
Loaf of Kroger Bread...................................1.00
Scott Bath Tissue (12 rolls)...........................8.99
Pretzels.........................................................2.49 X 2
Bananas........................................................1.54
Turkey Deli...................................................2.79
Spring Mix....................................................1.99
Carrots, Canned............................................0.54
Chicken Tenderloins......................................2.83
Chicken Tenderloins......................................3.35
Corn, Canned...............................................1.45
Sweet Tea (2 bottles)....................................3.18
Corn, Canned...............................................0.88
Corn, Canned...............................................0.80
Cheese.........................................................1.09
Snack Well's Bars........................................2.75 X 2
Pop Tarts.....................................................1.66 X 3

Red Grapes..................................................3.19

Monster Energy............................................1.00 X 5
Frozen Yogurt...............................................2.50
Tuna Family Packs........................................3.49 X2
Raisin Bran....................................................2.73
Lucky Charms...............................................3.92
Tortilla Wraps................................................2.49
Honey Nut Cheerios......................................2.74
Grand Total..................................................86.83
Minus Taxes.................................................79.76
Now, since I bought all of the supplies for a sandwich, I am going to calculate what one turkey sandwich would cost me.
2 slices of bread.......................0.10
4 slices of turkey......................0.20
1 slice of cheese......................0.07
Total.......................................0.37
That is pretty awesome!! I have been taking a turkey sandwich with a snack pack of Pringles that I believe cost me $0.14 each meaning my lunch has been costing me $0.51 everyday. Niceeeeee.
Until next time...
