Folks, I'm sold. I have officially put the coupons to the test. So, the great news other than saving $ is that I can avoid Wal-mart and still save if I choose to. YAY! I purchased $170 worth of groceries at Kroger a few days ago and through the use of coupons and my Kroger Card and downloading coupons on to my card (great idea btw) I reduced my purchase to $130. WOW! That's $40 free!

Now, the true test was when I went to Wal-mart and tried to use my coupons and only saved $3.50. So, I thought well, maybe Wal-marts beginning prices where lower. But I compared several items on both receipts and guess what... Kroger wins overall.

There is a caveat... this excludes the prices of health and beauty products... Wal-mart or you local drug store may still be a better bet.

I hope you give it a try. I'd love to hear your results and success stories, or perhaps you have a helpful tip!

yeah for you. I have been doing the same thing. You just can't beat Kroger's sale price with double coupons. I will usually make my list, put the Kroger price out by the items and then go to Wal-mart first. I compare the Kroger price to the Wal-Mart price. If it's cheaper at wal-mart then that's where I buy it. Of course this usually only applies to Kroger's sale prices. You can find Kroger's sale paper online at Kroger.com.
