My first Kroger and Meijers trip

I've been reading about all the savings everyone seems to get at
Krogers and Meijers. I have to admit I've been a little jealous
that I don't have those stores in my town. However, I do have
them out of town. To get there it takes me about 35-40 minutes.
I know, I know ...What about the gas? Well its almost all highway
miles and the gas prices have been good. This is not something I'll
do often only when its worth my time.

This did take ALOT of planning but I think I did ok. What do think?
