Hi, my name is Demetra and I’m a grocery shop-a-holic. My Last visit to a grocery store was yesterday and I must admit that I’m going back today. I go to the grocery store at least 3-4 times per week, I go whenever I get the urge to experiment with a new recipe…which is often. Maybe I shouldn’t count yesterday because I was at Kroger grocery store for a bloggers event, but I did some shopping as well. I couldn’t resist. Kroger reps gave our group of bloggers a tour of the store, lots of info on their programs (like their Simple Truth line of products and the beloved fuel points) and a nice bag o swag. While I do try to patronize local farmers markets, sometimes you need a quick, convenient grocery store to run to so you can get dinner on the table.
The folks at Kroger wanted to get out the word about the new lower prices on over 3,000 items, which I appreciate because I don’t use coupons often and lower prices would help my budget out a lot. Kroger will also do away with doubling coupons (as of September 22) which doesn’t really affect me because any coupons I clip generally end up in the bottom of my purse, not to be found until the day after it expires.
Gotta go, we’re out of milk…and I need gas

For me, it is meditative, and fun to save money on combining coupons.my husband has taken over the shopping, and it drives me crazy! LOL I will make sure that I will get to Kroger before they kill the double coupons at the end of the month.

September 9, 2013 at 4:00 am (11 years ago)I used to laugh a my mother for always needing something from the store on the daily basis…well, I’m the same way I go to the store or a farmers market on a daily basis. I just love to cook, I love making my meals with fresh produce it’s an addition of mine! Love your post, after reading got up from the computer and made dinner.

September 8, 2013 at 5:47 pm (11 years ago)My favorite stores are QFC & Fred Meyer (all owned by Kroger) and I can’t tell you how much I miss shopping there!!! Since moving back to CA, I’ve only been able to visit it’s Kroger’s walmart cousin Food 4 Less and its depressing to have such limited food choices…..especially since I go to the grocery store a few times a week as well!

September 7, 2013 at 2:19 pm (11 years ago)Its was a beautiful store, lots of light and a great flow.
My husband comes home with a bunch of crazy stuff when he goes to the store. Everything will be just a bit off, like OJ with calcium ( which everyone in the house hates)
