Well I checked out 16 times at two different Kroger today during 3 different trips. I paid $10.85 OOP. I got the following.

85 cans of Pillsbury Grands, Grandsjr, Cinnamon Rolls, and Cresent rolls
10 canisters of Disney's Orange Drink Mix (clearance $1.04)
2 boxes popsicles
2-Ice Creams

The stuff other than pillsbury was to take care of the overages on each trip. I did great until tonight and I ran into a snag. I was using self check and during my 1st transaction the lady said the coupon gave her an error. Well on my screen everything was fine. She called a lady mgr over that I had problems with on Sat. They were whispering and I noticed she printed a copy of my receipt everytime I completed a transaction. After the 3rd one I went over and asked the cashier if they made duplicate receipts on everyone or just me. She back tracked and said she printed them sometimes to make sure she wasn't taking coupons she wasn't supposed too. Well I told her that I had a run in with that mgr on Sat and the store mgr came over that night and said that everything I was doing was okay. I said there he is if you want to call him over. She didn't.

I am not sure exactly how many Pillsbury's I have bought but it is over 100.

Can I ask how in the world are you going to use 85 cans of Pillsbury Grands, Grandsjr, Cinnamon Rolls, and Cresent rolls.

Well i would say w/ three teenagers in the house......and probably teenage friends part of the time...you would BLOW through 85 pillsbury cans in no time!! I have three boys and one little gilr...12...6....2 & 2 and it would take me a "little" while, but not long. GREAT JOB pholdermomof3!!! I wish i had all those coupons...plus my store isn't doing the 10/10 offer on Pillsbury anymore.

[pholdermomof3]

Well they don't expire until May or after and you can freeze them. Now I need a new freezer. Plus I am going to get 20 more bags of meatballs next week when my coupons come in!

Oh, what meatballs are on sale there?

[Cheri]

My Kroger (Pasadena, Tx) has Armour Meatballs 14-16 oz selected varities for $1.99 wyb 10.
We still have the $5 off 10 item mega deal and the meatballs are included in the deal. There is also a manf q to go with the deal that is free pasta wyb one armour meatball product, xpire 5/31/09. I also have a .55/1 armour meatball that xpires 4/30/09

[hnks]

The manufacturer coupons are for 55 cents off each and my store doubles these.
So here in N MS, it will be 89 cents, plus there are coupons out there to get $1 off any pasta with the purchase of a bag of the meat balls. There is a whole thread on this topic.

[pholdermomof3]

Yep, I live in NE MS in Saltillo. I order 20 meatballs coupons and Free Pasta w/purchase of meatballs.

[dannysmom]

Wow!, how do you ladies save so much? I'm new to couponing and feel like I'm missing something. What is the trick here?

On my first trip to Krogers I went with a lot of Coupons. I didn't have them for everything I purchased but for most items. My store doubles coupons up to $1.

I don't have it all itemized like you all do but my total was $104.42. I saved $11.75 - mfg coupons. $8.14 - bonus cpn savings & $23.66 - store cpn & kro plus savings. So I ended up saving $43.55 and paying $60.87. I would like to do better. Any advice? Are the 10/10's really a good deal? By the way, what does OOP stand for?

Thanks for any advice!
