Kroger Trip 8/13 - Birthday Party Trip

I didn't get last week's trip to Kroger posted on Friday.  We had a very busy weekend with 35 people here for Dylan's 6th Birthday Party on Saturday.  With this trip and a trip to Jungle Jim's for fruits and veggies I went waaaay over budget for the week.  I expected that though because of the Birthday Party. I had several things in my stockpile but I am very guilty of going overboard with too much food at parties.  It was a very fun day ... I'll post picture this week sometime.  I'll set the scene now though ... Just imagine 4 large containers of whipped cream, small paper plates and 18 kids in the backyard.   So fun!  Yes I am the cool mom this week!

A big part of Friday's trip included items in the Add Up the Savings Sale and since it continues through this week too I'll share my trip a little late. I did three transactions so I could roll and use a few catalinas.
