I have to admit that with all the new choices of shopping in my area now, I have not shopped at Kroger in a while.
Remember, I have a weekly food budget of $50!
I made my dinner menu for the week (from the sale flyer) and headed out the door.

There are items to us for this week and also to stock my freezer for future menus. I like being able to stock up on good prices and not totally blow my weekly budget. Need to admit that I did stock up over the weekend on $3.99 toilet paper from Kroger too.
Thanks Kroger for providing me $25. It has shown me that I can get great prices on items for the week and still have enough to stock the freezer for the future. Having a $50 per week budget for a family of four is very challenging, and at times frustrating… so this is a very good week!
This shopping trip gives me something to think about!
Saving $87.38 is no small ordeal in this economy!
