My Kroger Trip(s) 7/28
The Last of the Mega 10 Sale
Took the last of my printable Soft-soap, Speedstick, SoBe and Purina to take advantage of the freebies & moneymakers for this sale. Also used the new coupons.com milk printables - so happy with these! At the Kroger on Park Avenue a lot of the "Free" coupons end up being money-makers because there's a dollar limit on them that apparently comes up and if the cashier doesn't override it with the actual price.... For instance, the coupon for a free gallon of white milk rang up $4.00 and the one for the free half-gallon of chocolate milk rang up $3.75; the SoBe rang up $1.79 and she only overrode 2 of the 7 that I used.
I came out several dollars less than I was expecting so I looked at my receipt when I got in the car after I loaded the groceries in and made this discovery. What an wonderful surprise. I took advantage of the $7 or so that I didn't spend there and the extra $10 hubby handed me that I wasn't expecting to have (self-employment - sometimes you just don't know when the check is really going to get there...lol) and went to the Kroger at Hannan Plaza to get meat.

Only 32% savings, but since I just went for meat, that's okay with me.
**The reasons I went to Hannan Plaza were that Park Avenue didn't have much meat marked down when I went, my hubby gave me an extra $10 when I saw him after I'd already made the Park Avenue trip, and I knew I had Tyson coupons expiring today & Hannan Plaza is the only Kroger that has the fresh Tyson.

CVS Advisor Panel
Go here to sign up for the CVS Advisor Panel.
I signed up a month or two ago; last Monday I received an email from them asking if I would be interested in completing a survey today (providing I qualified). I clicked on the link and answered the questions to see if I qualified, at the end of the questions it said I qualified, gave me instructions so I would be ready when I received the email today. The survey today probably took around 15 minutes, now my account will be credited 10 EB on August 13th (works out well since that's my birthday).
I don't know how they determine who to select for the surveys since I got this one but a friend of mine who is signed up with them didn't (sorry Penny), but I'm really glad that I signed up!

**I almost didn't post this trip because of the exceptionally large number of printables I used. At a print limit of 2 per computer, this is a large number to have. I have traded for some, had people who didn't need them print some and printed some at the local library. For those who view this as crossing an ethical line, I'm sorry it bothered you. It may seem like an excessive amount of soap and deodorant, but it will all be used and since I was making money on the deodorant to offset the cost of other items I bought a lot these past couple of weeks and it has helped!

My Very Small CVS Trip Today
I had a much larger one that involved a $10 off $50 coupon, $2.94 ECB and $1.70 cash, but I'm too tired tonight to pull out the receipt or remember the details - Maybe tomorrow. Meanwhile, my small stop at the Hannan Plaza CVS today went as follows:
(7) J&J First Aid Kits 99¢ each - $6.93
(7) J&J Red Cross $1.00 q's - 6.93 (CVS adjusted down to avoid overage)
42¢ OOP (cash - what can I say I just went crazy...LOL)
This brought me to a total of 10 kits = $9.90 so I was thinking I would have to stop at the CVS in Lone Oak & see if they had any kits left so I could go ahead and get my $5 ECB. Even my receipt from this trip says - Total spent toward this ECB $9.90, total needed to earn this ECB $0.10.
So imagine my surprise when the $5 ECB printed on this receipt! Don't know why since the receipt shows the correct total spent; don't think I really care why, I'm just thankful for what I received.

I went to the Kroger on Park Ave but shortly into the trip discovered they didn't have the Sunny D Smoothies I had coupons for so I just picked up a few items (as usual I didn't keep my Mega 10 items to multiples of 10 - I had 11); seems like I'm always losing count.

A little while later I went to the Southside Kroger (shopped with my good couponing friend Penny for a little while - thanks for going with me!). No matter how hard I try I keep losing count of my Mega 10 items. Three of the items were clearance Edwards Singles items & I was afraid that the clearance ones might not count in the Mega 10 sale, so I didn't count them. Of course, excluding those 3 items I still had 41 instead of 40 Mega 10 items - go figure...LOL. Here's that breakdown:

I see other bloggers out there with much better savings percentages and I could be so jealous sometimes. Our selection here just isn't what it is in some areas (of course, I realize we have it better than some...so I am grateful for what we do have.)
When you consider our limited selection of stores, Kroger is by far the winner - for me - in our area since they double q's up to 60¢ and usually have pretty good sales along with a better selection than some of our other grocery options. Overall, I can't do this well most places around here. I will stop by the other grocery stores to catch a few items when they have something priced really well; and, of course I shop CVS (and sometimes Walgreens and Wal-Mart.) But for now - I'm going Krogering!

I see other bloggers out there with much better savings percentages and I could be so jealous sometimes. Our selection here just isn't what it is in some areas (of course, I realize we have it better than some...so I am grateful for what we do have.)
When you consider our limited selection of stores, Kroger is by far the winner - for me - in our area since they double q's up to 60¢ and usually have pretty good sales along with a better selection than some of our other grocery options. Overall, I can't do this well most places around here. I will stop by the other grocery stores to catch a few items when they have something priced really well; and, of course I shop CVS (and sometimes Walgreens and Wal-Mart.) But for now - I'm going Krogering!

I went to Kroger (Park Ave in Paducah) this afternoon to get some things that were going off sale today. Of course, they had already tagged many of the items that will be in the Mega 10 sale starting tomorrow. Here are the ones I found and wrote down.
These prices are before the $5.00/10 or 50¢/item. Many of them are listed on Southern Savers Kroger match-ups, but there will be some differences. One of the most notable differences is that once again, Kraft & Sargento cheese do not appear to be included in our sale.

Walgreens & CVS Deals
I keep thinking that I'm going to go through and work out the deals myself, but until that happens...maybe I'll manage a few highlights and you can always go to Southern Savers. Click here for CVS, here for Walgreens and here for Rite Aid (even though I am rarely able to make it to Rite Aid, if you're closer to Murray than I am you might want to check it out.) I think Jenny and her helpers do such a great job!
Speedstick Printable - $1.50
While reading through comments on Southern Savers, I found a comment someone left stating that there is a 1.50 Q from coupons.com for Speed Stick, just enter zip code 33907. I went to coupons.com, found it on page one and printed 2. I tried with several other zip codes, but this was the only one I tried that brought up this Q.

A Lesson Learned...the hard way
During a trip to Kroger (in Murray) earlier this week, I noticed some of my 50¢ coupons weren't doubling. I asked the cashier why but he had no clue. After checking out, the hubby and I stopped by customer service where the lady tried to explain that only mfg coupons doubled so they were probably store coupons (this was interesting as her English was somewhat broken and hubby and I were both having a hard time understanding), and we tried to explain that they were in fact mfg coupons because we had others just like them in this transaction.
After a few minutes of finding out nothing, another cashier overheard and told us that they will only double 8 identical coupons per transaction, a lesson she learned the hard way herself. It would have been so nice if the customer service lady had known to tell us this when we asked about their coupon doubling policy... oh well, the coupons were expiring that day and it was still a good price without them doubling. It just would have been better if we had known so we could do separate transactions and saved that extra $6.00. Now I know! And, since the Murray store seems to have the same policies as the Paducah stores I'm going to check to see if their limit for doubling is also 8 identical coupons.
