Melissas Bargains

Since I started sharing my Kroger match-ups with Mummy Deals, I glance at the ads for the Indiana/Illinois markets to make sure that everything matches up and I discovered that Spaghettio-s are also part of the Mega sale.  I went to my store today and confirmed that it is working at stores in my area, too.  Plus, there is a $.50/2 printable coupon for the Spaghetti-os which makes them free after the coupon doubles!  There were also $1/2 Kraft bars or shredded cheese blinkie coupons right in front of the Kraft cheese at my store.

Here are the scenarios I did earlier this week:

TRANSACTION #1:
Buy 5 Lean Cuisine meals (the ad lists them at $1.88, but there were a variety of prices that were included in this deal ranging from $1.05/each to $1.88/each after the $.50 instant discount) – $1.05/each
Buy 4 Tombstone pizzas – $2.49/each
Buy 1 Oscar Mayer Angus beef hot dogs – $2.49/each
Buy 5 Philadelphia cream cheese – $.99/each
Buy 4 Spaghettio-s – $.50/each
Buy 1 Easy Mac – $.50
Buy 6 Oral B Indicator toothbrushes – $1/each

Use 2 $.50/2 Spaghettio-s coupons (each doubled to $1)

Use $5 Kraft catalina
Use $2 Dano-nino catalina

Total after coupons =  $5.70, get a $5 Kraft catalina and a $3 Lean Cuisine catalina


Total Spent = $20.46; total saved = $56.89 (this is based on sale prices)

I really love it when I can get the bags of shredded cheese for cheap and this sale came along at a perfect time because I only had 2 bags left in my refrigerator!  I will probably get about 12 more bags (the expiration dates on the ones I got yesterday were November) so that I’m stocked up until the next big sale.  I’ll probably buy more Lean Cuisine, too, so I’m stocked up for when I go back to work in two weeks 🙁
