I went to Kroger the other day to take advantage of some great deals. Also to use the prizes I have won from the March to Savings. I won $5 and a Free Maxwell House Coffee. I was excited about the coffee because of the $12 in savings attached to it that I had heard about. Here was how my trip went.
Maxwell House Coffee - $6.49
- 6.49 from March To Savings Prize
7 Bumble Bee Tuna - $.99

Soft Soap- $1.50

8 Power Bar Gel Chews - $1.00

-$4.00 March to Savings

-$5.00 March to Savings Prize
Final Cost = $2.35 in OVERAGE!! They paid me to walk out with groceries.
**Funny story about the overage. I grabbed 4 candy bars because I knew most stores would not allow overage. The cashier said "I was just going to give you money back. I figured you would like that better. But you can get the candy bars if you want." Of course I would take the money over candy bars! Did anyone know they will pay you overage at Kroger?
**Another thing is did you catch my mistakes. I could have walked out with more money if I didn't make a few mistakes. Here goes: 1) I had 1 extra item for the March to Savings. 2) I left one of my toothpaste coupons at home. If I would not have made these mistakes I could have walked out with $6.00 in OVERAGE!
