Sometimes it can be hard to get back into couponing. Taking a break can be a relief and also frustrating. I hate going to the store without coupons and buying things that I know there are coupons for.

Often we have to take a break for many different reasons, new job, new baby, just overwhelmed, but don’t let it keep you from couponing at all!

This trip is from a friend who took a little break! This is her first trip back!

Hi Tiffany,
I wanted to share my trip to Kroger. I had taken a break from Couponing when I started my new job. Not too shabby for my first trip since probably Jan/Feb.  Got everything pictured plus 4 cases of the 24 pack Nestle PureLife Water.

AWESOME trip!

Wow! This is a great readers haul of her trip to Kroger. Sadly, I do not have a name as it was posted to Paul’s site 🙁 But he sent it over to me as it was a Kroger deal! I will add that their Kroger stores allow overage as some do. Here in my area they don’t. But it is interesting to see the different policies in different areas.

She did do a nice job of letting us know which items and the coupons, that really helps me and you! You can find coupons in my coupon database, print coupons HERE and see the Kroger matchups HERE plus all the other Kroger deals HERE.

:: From the reader ::

Kroger’s only haul… not Wal-Mart but extreme savings… I went to 4 Kroger’s. Our Kroger’s doubles $1.00 manufacturer coupons…

I had some coupon overages from the b1g1 coupons, I literally walked into Kroger’s (all the stores) with a total of $23.00 in my pocket.. not a penny more.. and scored some mega savings…. rough total of $650 dollars retail value for $23.00

I also have to state that I did this haul, in 6 hours with 3 kids, 4 year old, 3 year old and 7 month old plus my grandma who can be a pain to deal with at times…. over all I had fun and saved a ton of money…

I’m not breaking these up in transactions but as a whole… prices are mega sale price after u buy x amount… I went to different stores because you can only use 4 like coupons.

Reader Dorothy was sweet enough to share her Kroger trip with us!

I just wanted to share with you and your readers the fun I had at Kroger tonight.  I got everything in the picture below for $9.24. (8 Ken’s salad dressings, 4 Mios, 2 boxes of Finish, 2 boxes of Nutrigrain bars, 2 Lady Speed Stick and 2 Old Spice deodorants, 1 package of Keebler cookies, 1 box of mac and cheese, 1 Dole salad kit, 1 bottle of Powerade and 1 bottle of Fruitwater.  The retail cost was $80.63.  I bought the Mios first, and used the Catalina on the second transaction.  Even I was surprised at how low my total was.  Thank you for posting all the deals.  I could not do this without you!!
