Yesterday I took a trip to Kroger, and here is what I bought…
- Four Yoplait Greek yogurts, on sale for $1 each – one 30 cents MC (3/28 SS) x3 = 4/$3.10 …I thought I had more MCs originally, which is why I got four. Turns out they were for the wrong size – check those sizes! Either way, I thought $1 each was decent for Greek yogurt. But let’s just say I won’t be buying this again… not so Greek-like. It tastes more like their whipped yogurt. Not great.
- Bananas at 46 cents/lb = 57 cents.
- Nature’s Own bread, on sale at $1.79. BUT today if you go to Tom Thumb, you can get it for $1.19 with the coupon from their circular, which you can usually find at the front of the store. Today only.
- Purex natural elements detergent, on sale for $2.50 – 35 cents MC (4/18 RP) x3 = $1.45 …If you can find a detergent with a rebate, you can it free, plus make a little money… the value of your coupon. The rebate will be attached to the bottle. My Kroger did not have these though. Either way, $1.45 for natural detergent is wonderful!
- Two Dial liquid hand soaps, on sale for $1 each – two 35 cents MCs (3/7 RP) x3 = 2 for FREE! Plus get 10 cents back, depending on your cashier. Mine wouldn’t, but free is great! *I chose holiday ones for the color, as it matches what I have, but they have non-holiday ones on sale too!
- Soft soap liquid hand soap, on sale for $1 – 50 cents MC x2 = FREE. CouponMom’s database doesn’t recognize this coupon, so let me know if you know where it came from.
Plus I received some great CAT (Catalina) coupons back… two for Oikos, one for Windex, and one for cat food.
Looks kinda like my trip =)

Hi thanks for all the good deals you have been helping me stay frugal….please fill me in what is MC?? I have seen you talk about them but, im a little confused as to how i can get those coupons.
Hi Ruthie! Glad you asked! MC = manufacturer’s coupon. I specify these because sometimes stores have their own store coupons. MCs can be used at any store that accepts coupons.
But I am thankful you brought this up because it reminds me to create a coupon lingo key. I’ll get that up this week! Thanks, Ruthie, for reading!
