Bargain Quest

I saved 36% on my grocery bill! (With coupons & Kroger card discounts) Usually my goal is 20% minimum, and 30% on a good day. The 36% doesn’t count my free chicken either.

The chicken came free because Kroger overcharged me for it initially. Whole Tyson chicken was on sale for $.59/lb, but the register rang up my 4.25 pounder at $5.48 instead of the $3.36 sale price. I happened to notice the error on the way to the parking lot. (I actually rarely check my receipt, although I really should start, because issues like this seem to happen quite frequently.) Anyway, I just went to Customer Service to ask them to credit me the difference, but found out Kroger has a policy that you receive the item free if it rings up at more than the stated price. Customer Service promptly handed me $5.75 cash and I went on my merry way.
