*Many of you that know us personally will be surprised by the Chicken purchase, since we are living a vegetarian lifestyle. I have been craving General Tso chicken for weeks, and had been contimplating a trip to our favorite Chinese restaurant. But didn't want to pay the $25 dinner tab (at least) just to satisfy my meat craving, so I when I found this frozen dinner for $3.99 I decided it would do, and you know what? It did!

Kroger

Not a great coupon week at Kroger, but it seldom is compared to Publix. Here are the coupon highlights.

2 Kraft Dressings .69 each
