Kroger Trip 6/25 Mega EVENT

For those of you who are unaware, Kroger is having yet another Mega Event this week. This one, however, is different than the ones they've had lately. The rules are simple: buy your items in groups of 10 participating items, and save $5 at the register. I know what you're thinking---this can't possibly be as good as the Buy 4/ save $4 sales they've had in the past---but let me tell you--this one is much, MUCH better!! I was able to do all of this in one transaction, so here goes...

* Indicates Mega Event Items

*8 Hefty Storage Bags $1.49 ea = $11.92

I had other misc groceries but total savings on the bill

I gave the cashier extra coupons by sheer accident so
