Many states are about to have their tax free weekend! You can see the schedule here.
You can also look up the guidelines for your state so you can be prepared. There are different amounts and categories for different states so be sure to see what all your state is offering.
Many stores also offer great sales and coupons during this time so you can get great deals.
See more back to school deals.
Here are all the deals starting 7/29 at Kroger. They are starting 2 weeks of “Cart Buster Deals”, this really means nothing though. It’s not an event, just a sale with a fancy name. You’ll notice that many of the prices aren’t really that big of a discount either.
One thing that does come with a cart buster sale though, is new daily deal eCoupons. So head over starting Sunday and start loading your daily discount. Remember Kroger eCoupons will only work on one product, will not double, and can’t be used with any other coupon.

As I wait for the United States to walk in the Olympics opening ceremonies, I’ll take a break and share our savings this week (I probably have a good two hours until we get to the U’s anyway).
We have been at the beach all week with family. To save money while traveling, it’s all about prepping beforehand! We left with the car loaded, complete with things strapped to the roof of our minivan, and haven’t needed much this week other than milk and water. We could have made it with just needing milk, except that we forgot that water on an island can taste horrible… so we needed water gallons just to make decent sweet tea and Kool-Aid.
Total spent on groceries this week was less than $20 (more was spent in previous weeks as we stocked up). I will confess though that our meals where split up with other extended family members, so I didn’t have to cook 7 meals for 9 people on our budget. I actually came prepared with coupons in case Harris Teeter ran triples, but was disappointed with everyone else when it didn’t happen…
We saved in a few other ways this week, not just groceries. For the last few weeks I’ve been keeping an eye out on Groupon and other daily deal sites for activities and dining deals in the area. We were able to grab tickets for our girls to Super Why Live, and got a deal for the entire family to eat out including 6 entrees for 50% off.
