Kroger Trip 5/31

I made a quick stop over at Kroger tonight in an attempt to use a few last minute coupons before they expired.. the check out was a little nerve racking for some reason, but I was able to score $117 worth of groceries for $32! 
*With coupons, Kroger card discount, and store sales*

Transaction #1:

**Take note: Buy 2 Huggies diapers, get $5
catalina coupon to use on your next order. Historically
I have never had an issue with using a catalina off of my
first order and applying it to my second transaction, but
there seemed to be a slight issue today, so beware.**
