Kroger Trip 7/23

I was able to score almost $86.00 in groceries today at Kroger for just $1.23 plus tax. But, how did I do it without there being ANY coupons in last Sunday's paper?! The answer is simple... I used Ebay and my favorite coupon clipping service: www.couponcarryout.com ... for those of you who are not familiar with coupon clipping services they are quick and convenient to use! It may sound illogical to "pay" for coupons--but you're really just paying for someone's time to clip and ship them to you. Ordinarily if I want 5 of a coupon I would have to go buy 5 Sunday papers, which adds up to $10.00. While I always make my money back on the papers I bought, I can just as easily use a coupon clipping service and get ahold of those 5 coupons for under $1.00 or less most of the time, but I digress.
Here are my transactions for today:

Trans #1:

10 Skittles (2/$1)= $5.00
-Used (5) $.50/2 coupons= 10 FREE

10 Starburst (2/$1)= $5.00
-Used (5) $1/2 coupons= 10 FREE

5 Colgate Toothpaste (10/$10)= $5.00
-Used (5) $.50/1 coupons= 5 FREE

5 Bayer Aspirin ($1.75ea)= $8.75
-Used (5) $2/1 coupons= 5 FREE+$1.25 MONEYMAKER!

9 Three Musketeers Bars ($.79ea B2G1)= $4.74
-Used (2) $.75/2 printable coupons
-3 Candy Bars rang up FREE = $1.74 for 9
**PLUS I also had $1.25 overage on this bill so...
$1.74-$1.25= 49 cents 

Total Before Coupons: $25.86
After Coupons: 49 cents plus tax!!
(Total Savings w/ Card and Sales/Coupons: $45.32
or 98%!!!)

-----------------------------------

Transaction #2:

10 Skittles (2/$1)= $5.00
-Used (5) $.50/2 coupons= 10 FREE

10 Starburst (2/$1)= $5.00

*I had $1.25 overage on this order because of the Bayer soo..
$1.99-$1.25=74 cents!

Total Before Coupons: $25.74
After Coupons: 74 cents plus tax!!
(Total Savings w/ Card, Sales/Coupons: $39.95!! Or 98%!!)
