My Kroger Trip: Organic Coconut Milk and Juice

I headed to Kroger yesterday afternoon with little man while our princess was at VBS.  Wow, what a difference it is only taking one kiddo to the grocery store.  Also, I learned a little trick.  I load up my iTouch with kids games and stories, and he stays quiet and occupied while I shop.  Love it.

Okay, so back to the shopping trip! I found a few really great unadvertised sale items that I didn’t expect to see at Kroger today AND I had coupons to match with them. The benefit of clipping your coupons and keeping them with you is you can use them on unexpected sale items.

We get a box full of veggies from our CSA (Community Supported Agriculture – we buy a share in an organic farm), so the only produce I need are fruits, that is why you aren’t seeing a lot of that in my recent purchases.

Since I get a lot of questions on how to eat healthy on a budget, I thought I’d show you that I have organic juice and coconut milk, toilet paper (a lot!) and laundry detergent all for 50% off, using the sales and coupons together. No, I didn’t have a lot of FREE items, but I saved over 50% by just shopping strategically.  And my family will use every bit of what I purchased.

Here is what I got:
