Grocery Shopping Trip to Kroger 8/12

     I had a great day at Kroger! So many deals this week! I have been using the Saving a Bundle and My Memphis Mommy blogs. They seem to be really helpful! Got to watch it sometimes though. Sometimes they tell you to use a coupon that has expired. :P But usually it works great! That's how I found all these deals. And sometimes you might check both sites for the same deal because one of them might have a lower price.
     Keep in mind that anything under $.50 doubles. The stars (or asterisks or WHATEVER!) represent the items that are participating in the Mega Event Sale. You must buy 8 to get the price that is listed.
Anyways, here are the deals.
