Aren’t the Kroger Mega sales fun?

I took another little trip Friday night for the following items:

Total price: $5.53.  That would be thirty boxes of mac and cheese, plus four bags of cheese and two sour creams, along with the gloves and soap and salad dressing and biscuits.  Before all the other coupon magic that brought the totals down, the macaroni and cheese was eleven cents each.  (See how to get them for that price here.)  My husband liked that particular deal.  :)  I, however, was a tiny bit disappointed because I had done the math in the car on the way home in my head, and really, I should not attempt that.  I had calculated it as $3.03 and so finding that extra $1.50 was depressing. ;)

Then, we went yard sale-ing on Saturday morning, and the yard sales were dismal. Terrible. It was like the whole town got together and said, “hey, let’s just put out six of our worst household items, and put up a yard sale sign to get people to come over!”  So, we gave up on going to any more of them and headed over to the other Kroger to pick up some more gloves, as I had cleaned them out at our primary Kroger already.

Not pictured: one $20 Kroger gift card.  The gift card, nineteen packages of gloves, one softsoap and two deodorants cost a total of $13.13.  So, $6.87 overage…

..which makes everything you see in the above two photos a profit of $1.34.

I love Kroger sometimes, I really do.

edited to add: The gloves are $1 each and are a participating product of the mega sale–when you buy ten items, it takes off $5. That’s where the overage comes from. Also, a good part of the coupons that I had for the gloves came from Old Lady with Coupons (thanks again!)  I had the rest from papers that I’ve bought.  I think I only have one left, but I’ve ordered more.  I just hope they’ve restocked by the time I get there! I may have to branch out to other Krogers. :)
