Why We Love Kroger!

So Tuesday afternoon when I ran in Kroger to do my last P&G transaction (the one I didn't blog because I don't have the receipt with me LOL), I discovered Nature Valley Granola Bars & Betty Crocker Fruit Snacks on clearance. Hello? Can you say brand new Mega Event? Tuesday is our overlap day - new sales starting Wednesday have usually started and sales ending Tuesday are still good. So after I stocked up on P&G, Nature Valley and Fruit Snacks (for the almost-4-year-old daughter of the best couponing buddy ever!) I called & texted the aforementioned buddy so she could stop by after work and get even more...

So here's her trip:

8 Betty Crocker Fruit Snacks, $1.29 each
- (3) 50 cent Shortcuts & Cellfire ecoupons
- (4) 50 cents off 2 coupons (doubled)

1 Speedstick deodorant, 88 cents
- (1) 50 coupon (doubled)

- $4.00 Mega Event Savings
- 44 cents Senior Discount (we don't know why she gets it, but she does)

Mfg Coupon Savings $4.00
Bonus Cpn Savings $2.50
Kroger Plus Savings $5.25
Total Savings (97 pct) $11.75

Total spent - 25 cents!

She said the guy that rang up her order was just about speechless when he looked at the total and told her what it was!

Yup, this is why we love Kroger: Clearance + Mega Events + e-coupons + coupons + double coupons...

This Week at Walgreens

So hopefully I will have internet at home Monday, but for now I'm at the library without my receipts for the totals for each trip/transaction. So, I'll put the picture up and list the prices for each item.

They actually price adjust them to a penny so they don't have to have a supervisor override. Works for me!

Have My Fingers Crossed...

Looks like we should have internet at home sometime in the next few weeks providing everything goes well. Please let the telephone company not have any issues when they get there to install it!

Once that happens I hope to be able to stay on top of the deals much better and blog much more often again - Here's hoping!!!

Kmart - So Far, So Good...

I keep reading about all the problems people are having with their Kmart stores and the super doubles and have to say that the 2 trips I've made to Paducah Kmart have been so great! Sunday night I stopped in and checked at customer service & the lady working explained it to me so nicely and then I had very smooth transactions checking out.

Last night when I checked out the cashier was just amazed that the coupons were doubling so he showed the lady who was coming to relieve him so he could take his break and she was amazed too. I did think it was kind of sad that their cashiers hadn't been educated on the promotion; however, they were both very nice and thought it was great that I saved so much. I'm really hoping that the rest of the week works this well.

On a non-coupon-related note, I also had a great response from the lady at the service desk last night. I had to do a return for my mother and the lone person working the service desk was swamped so I wandered through the bedding while I was waiting for it to slow down. When I finally went back and she asked how everything was I mentioned that I had just found a comforter set on sale but was disappointed they were out of the size I needed and she said no problem, I'll just give you a rain check on it. LOL, I hadn't even thought about being able to get a rain check, I was just disappointed that they were out of mine!
