I ran to Kroger to snag a couple of deals that I knew I wouldn’t be able to get later in the week or next week because they would be gone. If you are going make sure you take any of your candy coupons that have not expired because they have a ton of Easter clearance for $.30 and $1 a bag. The only reason I got the stinking peeps in the picture was because 1) the boy likes peeps 2) I thought they matched an Ibotta offer but they do not because I got bunnies and they should have been chicks! Really? ARGH! Oh well, at least the boy will get to enjoy them. I am sure that I will be going back for this sale once I have pricing for some of the items on the list. Oh, and watch your receipts today because the items rang up with the correct amount but the $5 instant savings did not come off and they took care of that at customer service for me! I am going to write this up as if they came off just in case you want to copy it then you will know what it should look like.

I made a quick trip into Kroger to see if I could snag a few deals. I don’t have two coupons for the Reach floss so I haven’t been able to do that deal. I know I have another one around here somewhere but I can’t find it! The Totino’s Pizza Rolls 15ct are on sale 10/$10 right now. However, for some reason they rang up $.50 each and that was not a “sale” price according to the receipt. If you want to check in your area, I only bought the cheese only variety. I am checking my other coupons to see if I have more to make a decent deal with.

We have been so busy over the past few days that we are a little slow in getting a few of Monica’s trips posted. -Steve

I finally made it to Kroger to do my shopping trip that I didn’t get to do last week. The only thing that I forgot to get was the stinking potatoes that I really wanted. Oh well, I guess I will run in there later this week and pick those up. We desperately needed oatmeal in the house and since the oatmeal was included in the deal where you can get FREE milk when you buy four participating products it even made it more appetizing! I hope these Perfect Portions are good because the boy can be picky when it comes to his oatmeal.

**Note, the Stride gum is not pictured because the cashier handed it to me to put in my purse and I forgot it was in there when I took the picture**

I went to Kroger today and I have to admit it really stinks when you have bad information. If I ever pass along a deal on the Kroger posts where an item is not included in a Mega Event and I have it marked on the site as it is please let me know so that I can get that corrected. It really threw my numbers off today and I spent quite a while at customer service getting it all straightened out. I will say that the customer service really gets my applause they have a quick way to fix the problem if you just need to add one more item to get your $5 off without having to rering your whole transaction. Not to mention I had a couple items ring up at the wrong price but they corrected that at the customer servicec desk as well.

Update: I had done the math wrong on the Zatarain’s so it was a little more out of pocket than originally posted. Sorry about that!

I ran into Kroger today to see if they had stocked up on some of the things that they were out of the other day. The only thing that I got lucky on was the Hefty One Zip and Zatarains. I am extremely happy with this trip. We use a ton of ziploc bags around this house and they are always so expensive so I make sure and stock up when they are a great price. I couldn’t beat $.24 a box!

I made a run to 2 different Krogers last night. I was a little disappointed at how they didn’t not stock well enough for this sale! I did talk to the manager at the second store I stopped at to see when the other items I wanted would be in and he said that he made sure to order a ton of extra stock. They were not planning on this sale being such a success! I wanted to let you guys in on a little secret as well. I have finally figured out how to get overage at Kroger! If your coupons make your item free BEFORE the automatic savings are deducted (in this case $.50 per item) then you will still get that $.50 at checkout, making each item a $.50 MONEYMAKER! So here is what I got! **Note that if you count my items below you will see that I am one item off on purchasing in quantities of 10. I was shopping with a friend and she had one item too many and I needed one item to hit my 10 so I threw hers in my transaction to help us both out but am not calculating it in this trip because it was not mine**

I made a quick trip to Kroger tonight. You will notice that I have absolutely no food in this trip. There are a couple of reasons for that. 1) I really don’t NEED any more food items in this house with the trips I have had lately. 2) They were out of stock on alot of the actual food items I had on my list which was quite a bummer. 3) They are predicting a possibility of snow tomorrow in N Alabama so the shelves are a little on the skimpy side right now. (Anyone from N Alabama knows exactly what I mean when the word snow is mentioned in the forecast the whole northern half of the state shuts down if we have a dusting). Here is what I got tonight and was pretty pleased with how it turned out. I used $6 worth of Kroger digital coupons left over from the Pop To Save game that is no longer available so they came off the top of my order.
