Grocery Haul September 14, 2018


On Friday we did the bulk of our grocery shopping for the month. Our first stop was at Ingle's where we spent $22.25. We bought some meat markdowns ($1.99 & $2.49) and the following items were from the Crash & Burn section. 
Green Chilis 50¢ each. These had been on my grocery list. How lucky we were to find them at this discounted price. 

 Spaghetti & Bruschetta Sauce $1.00 each. The spaghetti sauce was also on my grocery list, so I was tickled to find it on markdown for $1.00 per jar. 




Buns 38¢ each on markdown, another item on the grocery list. 


Our Next stop was at Kroger where we spent $136.85. 

I always check the Crash & Burn section first since those items can be rare. We hit the jackpot this time. 

Crash & Burn Items


Bush Baked Beans 99¢
Campbell Soup 49¢
Kroger Pears 49¢
Kroger Pineapple 59¢
Hunt's Pasta Sauce 49¢
Kroger Soup 39¢
Kroger Beets 39¢
Campbell Soup 49¢
Kroger Fruit Cocktail 49¢
Kroger Corn 29¢
Le Sueur Green Beans 29¢
Muffin mixes 49¢

Flour tortillas for $1.00 each. 
Kroger Milk was priced at $1.59 a gallon.


But we found some on markdown for $1.19. 


Huge tub of Kroger Sour Cream $3.89. Multiple Yogurts markdown to 49 & 59¢. One large plain yogurt marked down to $1.29. A free bag of Fresh Express salad with coupon. 


Corn on the cob on markdown for $1.49. Oscar Mayer beef hot dogs on sale, but we were charged the non-sale price, so I will have to take care of that. 


Some more meat and yogurt markdowns. Some hard salami for sandwiches.  Two jars of Kroger preserves one cherry and one strawberry. 

This summer we found Smucker's cherry preserves on sale, so we bought and tried and liked them. 

The Kroger brand was on sale for $1.49 this week, so we bought it to try. It is much less expensive than the Smucker's brand. 


Two Asian salads on markdown for $1.49 and 1 baby spinach on markdown down $2.39. Also some cheddar and American cheese. 

Cream Cheese $1.00. Cheese breadsticks and pumpernickel bread on markdown for $1.29 each. 


Chorizo for $1.00 per package. Some regions 
were able to get coupons for this, but our area didn't, but this was a great price, so I stocked up. 


More meat markdowns. 


Mandarin Oranges 89¢ each
Kroger tomatoes with jalapenos 49¢ each
Kroger dark kidney beans 49¢ each
 


A box of salt for 29¢.


Campbell's Soups $1.00 each. I like to cook with the Beefy Mushroom and I always buy it when it's priced at $1.00 per can never paying the $1.65 and over that it normally cost. 

What was funny was that although this was on sale for $1.00, there were several of them in the crash & burn section for 49¢ each, which I also picked up. 




Two packages of sugar for $1.89 and spices were on sale for $1.00 a bottle except for the dill, which was $4.00. I was out of all of these spices.  

Other items we bought, but did not picture include:
2 loaves bread 85¢ each
2 boxes Kellogg's cereal 99¢ each
1 package sweet onions $2.99
Almond milk $2.79
I'm sure I've forgotten some things but this was the bulk of our shopping. We added a total of 55 cans of food to our pantry this weekend. Many of them came from the Crash & Burn section. 

I've already put everything away neat and tidy into the pantry and freezer, so we are good to go for  while again. :)

    1. Thank you, Carol. I also bought one of the Campbell's Golden Mushroom soups to try this time mainly because they only had 9 Beefy Mushroom and the sale was 10 for $10. I know that you use the Golden Mushroom, so I bought one to try it.

  5. WOW!!! You did great this week. I do miss Kroger's yellow tags. There's no Kroger near us; we have Mariano's, which is in the Kroger family, but I think their prices are higher than Kroger's and I haven't seen the markdowns like Kroger has the few times I've gone in. I may have to go check them out again one day during my daughter's preschool times, since it's been a while since I've gone in.

    Great job!

    1. Thank you, Stephanie. I love the Kroger yellow tags because no other grocery store here marks down like Kroger.

    1. LOL, Frances. Thank you, we were just lucky this time. Doesn't always happen, but I'm glad when it does.

  7. Holy cow! Those are great soup prices! I never buy soups unless they are on sale, have a coupon or we are all down with illness at the same time (and we all have to be really sick). Bean soups, squash bisque and chilies are the kind I make with success - never mastered the homemade chicken soup thing.

    1. Thank you. I totally forget to mention that I had printed off a coupon for $1.00 off 8 cans of Campbell's soup Friday morning at coupons.com. I was kicking myself later for not printing the 2 they normally let you print.

  8. Wow! That is a great grocery haul. I love the markdowns Kroger does, especially on their produce. My girls really love those salad kits, but I won't pay full price for them. Have a fabulous day Belinda!

  9. Wow those prices are amazing. I live in New Zealand and our prices are way higher. Milk is $5.50 for 3 litres -which is under a gallon. Marked down sausages would be around $6 for a tray of 6. Its about $9.00 full price. Pasta sauce would be around $5 for those jars. And the chorizo would be from $5-$7. Our cheese on special is around $9 kilo - 2 pound. And we make the best cheese here and lots of it. And dont mention petrol - we pay NZ $8.80 a gallon or $2.40 per litre. Its expensive here in New Zealand.
    Well done Belinda on your great shop. I am a little envious. LOl. Juanita Richardson.

  10. You spread your pennies this time, Belinda. Then, so much added to a dwindling pantry gets you a gold star today.

  11. I know prices vary by regions, but you got some steals!! That's some great shopping you did! Chorizo for a dollar and the green chiles!! Wow! I love cherry preserves. I like to use them with a pat in the pan sugar cookie crust, spread with the preserves and baked like a tart. So good!
