This week I didn’t need much as we had plans to be out of town for most of the week. Instead of grabbing lots of produce that would just sit at home and go bad, I only spent a tiny bit of our budget and got items that would help us save on the road.
Running into a gas station for drinks and snacks gets crazy expensive, so I look for deals on the 6 pack bottles of soda and stock up then. We can get 6 bottles for $2-$3 at the grocery store or pay $1.49 per bottle at the gas station! I also grabbed a 6 pack of snicker bars for $1 (my husbands weak spot when driving).
Bi-Lo has Coca Cola and Dasani Water products $2.20 per 6 pk when you buy 5, so that made up my mind where we were shopping (thank you item search).
Total Spent: $12
Total Saved: $10.44
I really didn’t need 30 bottles of soda/water, but it will keep. This got a car cooler packed and saved a lot more in the long run! I also had granola bars, crackers, and Rice Krispy treats on hand from previous sales. Planning ahead here not only saved money… but we made it all the way to South Florida with only one stop (pretty unheard of for a family of 5 girls).
My other stop this week was back at my favorite place for bulk, the US Foods Chef Store. They are a restaurant supply store that sells fresh meat and produce in bulk. It was our week to provide snack for our homeschool co-op. I needed a snack of fresh fruit for 90 people… we grabbed 20 lbs of grapes for $29 or basically $1.45 lb. That’s 50% less than the price in the grocery store!!!

I think that going out for Valentine’s Day can be overrated. The ideal date night is for Grandma to watch the kids, we cook dinner together and watch an old movie. This Valentine’s Day, head to your local Kroger for inspiration on how to create the perfect Valentine’s Day date night.
Try a dinner of Carando Italian Sausage with a premium Bertolli Riserva sauce. The Tuscan inspired sauces and authentic italian flavors of the sausages will simmer nicely together, leaving you with a meal you won’t want to end.
Carando Italian Sausage and Bertolli Riserva both come in a variety of flavors, so you’ll be able to recreate multiple date nights. If you want to try it out before you buy, ask the Kroger store manager if your store is having a sampling event.
Since the early 1900’s, Carando has been using delicate herbs, bold peppers and savory flavors to create old world flavors. They’re all in a line of fresh Authentic Italian sausage, now available in the fresh meat section at Kroger.
I decided to try the sauce and meatballs for myself, but I wanted to keep the dish simple so I could let you guys know what I thought of the flavor.
Ingredients:
-Linguine
-Barilla Riserva Sauce
-Cardano Meatballs
-Parmesan Cheese to Taste
-A Pinch of Parsley
-A Pinch of Rosemary
Directions:
-First off, you need to know where to find the meatballs. You can pick them up with the rest of the packaged meat like ground beef.
-Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
-Put the noodles in a pot and cook them according to directions.
