Kroger Mega Event cont.

This week Kroger's continuing their Mega Event. I had my list all narrowed down (qualified for the Event 4 times!) with matching coupons, sales, catalinas, etc.

Of course, once we got to the store, there were a couple other deals on things we needed (milk, bread, zippies) and a couple things we didn't really need but were important nonetheless (ice cream, RC).

I used the self-checkout this time as I was doing three transactions due to the catalinas and I didn't want to hold up a clerked line. It worked out just fine and I felt a little less stressed doing it that way 'cause I wasn't holding anyone up and I could take my time and count items and ensure coupons cleared. The only hassle is that the attendant has to scan in all coupons herself. So after each transaction I'd hit the coupon button and then wait for her to come, take my coupons to her station and scan them. It worked out fine, just would be nicer if I could scan my own coupons!

Kroger's Great Sales and a "Surprise" Catalina!

This week Kroger has a special Mega Event on P&G items. Buy 4, get $4 off immediately. I'd built my list to get 8 items, but one wasn't there and two others were different prices compared to what I'd seen on Southern Savers. So I scratched that and only did one set of 4. Still a great deal! Plus, General Mills cereal was on a special 3 Day Sale and select cereals were 50% off. I had some coupons too, so that dropped the price even further. Of course, most of the cereal's I wanted weren't on the sale.... but I still got some great deals!

Double Coupons = FREE!

Ok, so not all my coupons double at Kroger, and not all the coupons that do double equal free items. But I did get TEN free items at Kroger today, so I'm stoked! I also used eCoupons for the first time today. You can load coupons from Kroger, P&G, Cellfire and Shortcuts to your Kroger card and they automatically come off when you buy the item. They don't double, or work more than once, but hey! It's cool! And I had a coupon on there I didn't know about (I changed my shopping list at the last minute) and saved an extra $1. :-)

Kroger Trip 7/14/10

Kroger has a great deal going on this week! $5 off wyb any 10 participating items. And there are a LOT! I'll be going back for more as some are refrigerated and we had other errands to run, but here's how the trip went today:

Great $aving$ today in Augusta! :-)

Today was my first real attempt at couponing. I got two copies of the Augusta Chronicle from Sunday, June 13th and two from last Sunday. I went through each paper and clipped all the coupons, filing them in a little cheap clutch I found at the PX.

Then, I went through the ads and wrote out the sale items for which I had coupons. I also checked Southern Savers to ensure the "deals" really were deals!

I ran out of time today, so only went to the three food stores (Kroger, Food Lion & Bi-Lo). I'll do the drug stores tomorrow (Walgreens, Rite-Aid & CVS).
