My shopping trip was pretty fun. I did the Kellogg’s deal & also did Kroger’s mix & match deal again (today is the last day–sad to see it go!)
The kroger shopping was fun, because normally I would not buy Rice Krispy Treats (I would just make them!) or Fudge Shoppe Cookies, but it’s free (actually in this case a money maker!)
Here is what I did for the Kellogg’s rebate:
2 Raisin Bran $4
2 Corn Pops $4
2 Rice Krispies Treats $4
2 Eggo Waffles $4
2 Fudge Shoppe Cookies $4
Subtotal $20

I don’t know how you keep it all in your head. Personally, I would have to have detailed instructions written down in front of me and it would take me all day to shop. You know me. I can’t even get a simple shopping list right.
I gotta get back into couponing!!
