Well unfortunately for those of you who live outside of Topeka this ad says prices good for Topeka stores only:( Be sure to check your ad for the best deals. Chances are some of ours line up. There are a lot of different deals going on and a great week to stock up on some items! Many items compare to the Aldi price so I will tell you that I prefer to spend my $ at Dillons so I can get my gas discount!

Regular deals:
  • Dillons Milk=2/$5 or $2.50/1 (Aldi has the better price of $2.30 for most of their milk)

Because most of our prices match up with this blogger's ad here I am not going to reinvent the wheel here. I am going to direct to her site for all the details. I will be updating this list Sunday when our new P&G coupons come out.

Chances are this deal will go for 2 weeks so we have plenty of time to take advantage of the great savings! Be sure to let us know if you see any other marked items in the store that are not in the ad.

Be sure to visit Amy's blog here for a great inexpensive meal idea based on these regular weekly sales!

If you see a good deal or coupon match up I missed please let me know in the comment section. If you have a question you can leave that in the comment section as well or use the e-mail me button at the top right hand corner of the page.

One great way to continue to support this blog is to print your coupons from the coupons.com widget found here.

***Be sure to check out cellfire.com and shortcuts.com for great E-Coupons that can be added to your Kroger card!

If you don't live in this region or are looking for an ad for another store I hope you visit The Grocery Gathering found here. See Hy-Vee deals here. Also be sure to visit Cara's blog here for the scoop on Apple Market deals!

Frugal Recipe Price Breakdowns:

I couldn't decide which recipe I wanted to post his week so I decided to share with you one of my favorite recipe sites that also breaks down the price of their frugal recipes as well.

This site is called Miserly Moms and I love it! If you scroll down the left side of the page you will see a tab called Frugal Recipes. Simply click on it and browse for any recipe you want! I use this site often and it has been very helpful.

This was also a site I included in my post about "Why I Menu Plan" as a means of "Getting Control of the Grocery Bill."

Enjoy!
