Quick Kroger Trip - Couldn't Resist

So, I've been reading about all these other bloggers getting this Pillsbury deal and I couldn't resist to stop into Kroger one last time this week to get it. I could kick myself that I forgot to do it in separate transactions, so I only got one $3 on your next order catalina! But I found a ton of Manager's specials, so it wasn't all so bad! Here's how I did:

(6) small Pillsbury biscuits - $0.59 each
-used (2) $0.75/3 coupons from blinkie

(6) small Pillsbury cinnamon rolls - $1.00 each
-used (2) $0.75/3 coupons from blinkie

Received $3.00 oyno catalina

Note: If I would've done the Pillsbury's in two transactions I could've saved $3 more...annoying!!!!

Beat the Tax Warehouse Wine Sale

For those of you local to Louisville, I just found this on the Louisville Hot Bytes Forum. Thanks guys! Here is what was posted:

"Well the guys at Party Mart are at it again. Another huge wine sale. They are doing it again to beat the new sales tax. The guys tell me there will be over 500 cases of wine with 30-60% discounts. They will apply their normal case discounts as well for additional savings. Oh yeah and no 6% sales tax. In other words huge savings all around. If you missed the last one you do not want to miss this one. For those of you who attended the last one you know how much fun it was and what a bargain. Circle your calender Sunday March 1 starting at 1pm."

If you drink wine, this is probably worth checking out!
