I had 2 OYNOs that were going to expire this weekend and I needed chicken for dinner (I'll explain why below) so I headed out to Kroger & Meijer tonight. Neither of these trips are super great, but I wanted to share since I don't have a lot of shopping trip post anymore.
If you live in the Cincinnati area, I noticed tonight at Kroger they have started their "lower prices" campaign. I had my daughter with me tonight though so I couldn't spend a lot of time looking around to see what was a good deal and what wasn't. I did notice that the Annie's dressing (pictured above) has a "new lower price" of $2.99. I checked the price at Meijer when I was there and it was around $3.35. Not a huge price difference and if you factor in the $.75 coupon I had that would double at Meijer still next month, Kroger is only around $.10 cheaper. The Pepsi Next has a new lower price of $1.50 but Meijer has Pepsi on sale for $1.00 or $1.25 every other week it seems. I am not sure if the lower price at Kroger will take away the sale prices and I think it will take awhile to figure out if the new lower prices really are that much lower.

When I go to the grocery store...I like to go alone. The above picture is why :) My daughter was with me and she wanted to get her daddy and brother some candy plus we just HAD to have Cheez-it's since we didn't have any at home. I will say though....it is still cheaper to shop with my kids than shop with my husband! ;)

Now my costly mistake....
I had a "bright" idea this past Monday to completely clean out our fridge and freezer. I wanted to wipe down the shelves, walls, wipe off the condiments bottles etc. Whenever I clean our fridge out it takes some time so I turn the fridge and the freezer off to shave energy...and so I don't freeze while cleaning. :) It took me around 90 minutes to get everything completely cleaned. We left Tuesday morning for Mammoth Cave and didn't return until Wednesday evening. On Thursday morning I went in the fridge to get milk for the kids breakfast...and everything was pretty much room temperature. I had completely forgotten to turn the fridge and freezer back on Monday and pretty much EVERYTHING had gone bad! :( Luckily, there was TOO much I had to throw away, but there was yogurt, cheese, eggs, milk, juice, chicken, sausage, hamburger etc. UGH! I guess if nothing else at least we have a clean fridge and freezer for our company next weekend! :)
