This week's grocery shopping trip

For the past couple of weeks, I've been able to stock up on meats, eggs, and bread....those items that we always seem to need! If you can believe it, we're still using meat from the Ukrops meat sale that occurred 4 weeks ago! Today, I only went for those items that were cheap or close to FREE that I could stock up on and add to our pantry. Its Wednesday, so I took advantage of double coupon day at Ukrops. Between Kroger and Ukrops, I only spent $24.20 out of pocket for the items above and received a $2 credit to Kroger for my next shopping trip. Here are the highlights from my trips:
