Krogering for Catalinas

Head on over to The New Frugal Mom and check out Marianne’s weekly Kroger matchups every Sunday. Then go back and link up your great finds on Tuesday for Let’s Go Krogering!

I was not happy with myself yesterday.  I specifically went to Kroger to pick up some more Country Time at $1 each; with my $1.50 each coupon and $1.00 catalina return these would have PAID ME 50¢.  But, noooo, I did no have my coupons.  So, I ventured out to Kroger today.

*I tried to tell the cashier that I did not want to use the 55¢ coupon for the Windex (was on the bottle), but she quickly pushed it through saying it was for this purchase. This was twice as it happened at CVS, too. Must have been something in the air today.
