Kroger Shopping Trip 8.24.09

I stopped in at three different Kroger stores yesterday to take advantage of their mega savings event that is currently going on. The Mega Event Deal was is you buy 10 participating items you'll get $5 off at check out. I had heard reports that you could only buy 30 items per transaction so I made sure to keep that in mind as I went shopping.
As it ended up, I did three transactions of 20 items each as different Kroger Stores had different sales. Here are the totals from my trips... prices are after the discounts.
