This week at Kroger rocks!

Don sent me to Kroger for chips and I decided to do round 1 of coupons for the week. I spent just over $14. However, the bag of chips was $3.21 and the canned fruit (for Lila) was $1. I also bought 2 cans of olives for pizza at $1.29. It's crazy how many mixes I got cheap. I will admit I'm a brownie junkie and the pouch potatoes can go the Food Bank at school.

Kroger Deal of the Week

Took a quick trip to Kroger tonight. I hadn't been in 2 weeks because there were no great deals and I was stocked up from the previous Mega sale. I purchased everything above for $8.37. Not bad considering that the milk is normally $2.49.

Mega Deal
Paraticipating Kellog's Cereal, breakfast bars, Keebler Crackers, Special K Bars sale 4/$10 purchase 4 and get 2 gallons of milk for FREE

There are various Kellog's Cereal printables at www.coupons.com (I used a $1.50/2)
I also found a $1/2 Special K bars blinkie in the store (we don't eat these, but our babysitter loves them)

Kroger had mailed me FREE carrots coupon

Soft Soap $.89 used $.35/1 (2/14 paper) making it FREE plus overage

We needed lemons. They were 3/$1

Again, not a super coupon week at Kroger, but if you drink a lot of milk and like cereal it's worth going for the deal.. I may go back next Tuesday and buy the crackers with 2 $1/2 coupons from last weeks paper.

New Shortcuts Coupons are Up

Be sure to go to www.shortcuts.com and load the new coupons to your Kroger card. Cellfire should be up later today.

Kroger Coupon Policy

To avoid any confusion I though I would summarize how Kroger handles coupons. Every once in a while you will get a cashier that will tell you that you can't do something or that they don't take printable coupons or something else dumb. Ask for a manager. They have printable coupons on THEIR web site. They do accept them!!

All coupons under $.40 are tripled. If you have a $.35 coupon it's really worth $1.05
All coupons $.40 - $.50 are doubled. A $.50 coupon is worth $1.00
All coupons over $.50 are given face value

You can use 1 paper/printable coupon per item. This can be combined with an e-coupon. E-coupons DO NOT double or triple. They are only worth face value.

E-coupons don't always work. If something does not come off save your receipt and contact customer service at the website where you loaded the coupon. They are very good about crediting your account so that the money comes off on your next shopping trip.

Kroger does not take expired coupons.

Kroger does not take coupons from other stores.

There is no limit to the number of coupons you can use in a transaction.

*NOTE* Kroger does have store coupons for their own brand of items. They bar code at the bottom started with a 1. These coupons do not double or triple. Bummer!!!

Check your receipt before you leave the store. If you notice a mistake (mistakes do happen), go to customer service. They are very good about fixing and refunding you for pricing mistakes.
