Kroger Shopping: 1/18

Edit:  I forgot to highlight the MEGA EVENT that Kroger is having this week.  Silly me!

Mega Savings Event: Buy any combination of (10) participating items, and you'll save $5 instantly at checkout. There is a limit of (3) rewards per transaction. So, assuming that you've purchased (10) of the participating items, you would deduct $5 from your order (or $0.50 from each item): This calculation is already included in my breakdown after the coupon as “– $.50 Mega10”. 

---

I’ve listed a combination of what I feel are decent prices along with my shopping today.  The number of items I bought are listed at the beginning of the breakdown.  Alot of my shopping are based on my needs and what I want to stockpile or submit rebates for.  Hope you enjoy!

You may need to look at the Slickdeals thread for any printable coupons you may need or that I may have missed.  I by no means claim to be the best at math and if I messed up I hope you’ll understand.

You may also visit Becky at Nickels-N-Dimes or Marcy at Stretching a Buck for more Kroger Mega Savings matchups.  I only listed most of what I bought but I think they matched up everything in the ad.
