Kroger - Updated P&G Super Saver Event

Happy New Year!!

If you were planning to do the P&G Super Saver Event at Kroger this week, you'll need to go over to the e-coupon loading site, the old coupons expired yesterday, but they have new ones to load!!  Some good ones are 1.25 off Pampers, 2.00 off Swiffer Starter Kit, 2.00 off Always Infinity Pads and several others.  And remember you can combine those savings with paper coupons for a great deal!!

Kroger - P&G Super Saver Event

Edited to add that technically the $5 off reward is for other items in your transaction, so just be sure to have at least $5 worth of other products in your order!!

Starting Monday, Kroger is having a P&G Super Saver Event. If you buy $25 worth of select P&G products, you'll get $5.00 off your order automatically at checkout. By combining paper coupons (new ones coming out this weekend, 12/28) and e-coupons found here, we can make a couple of pretty good deals. Now keep in mind, you'll have to do these deals by Wednesday as the e-coupons expire 12/31.

Here's a few deals I found.

Pantene Hair Care Products are 3.29. Use the buy one shampoo or conditioner and get a styler free e-coupon, plus the 3.00 off 2 coupon from the 12/28 P&G insert. You'll pay .29 for two products before the 5.00 discount.

Cascade is 3.99. Use the .50 off 1 e-coupon and the .50 off 1 coupon from the 12/28 P&G insert to pay 2.49.

Dawn Simple Pleasures Dishwashing Detergent is 2.50. Use the .50 off 1 coupon from the 12/28 P&G insert to pay 1.50.

Crest Pro Health Toothpaste is 2.50. Use the 1.00 off 1 e-coupon and the .50 off 1 coupon from the 12/28 P&G insert to pay .50.

Cover Girl Cosmetics are 25% off. If you buy two mascaras around 8.00 each, they'll be 6.00 each after the 25% discount. Use the buy one get one free e-coupon and two 1.00 off 1 coupons from the 12/28 P&G insert to pay 4.00 for two.

So if you buy:
2 Pantene products (1 shampoo or conditioner and 1 styler)
1 Cascade Dishwashing Detergent
1 Dawn Simple Pleasures Dishwashing Detergent
1 Crest Pro-Health Toothpaste
2 Covergirl Mascaras

You're total before any discounts will be around 27.57 (guessing on the price of mascara). You'll then get your 5.00 discount making it 22.57. Then if you use all of the above mentioned coupons you'll get another 18.79 off, leaving only 3.78 to pay!!! For 7 products, that's a great price!! It comes out to .54 a product!!

I think that's a pretty great deal!!

I'm sure there are other deals in the store, just look for the shelf tags.

Kroger - Cuties Clementines

3 Pound Bags of Cuties Clementines are 2.99 at Kroger this week.  If you use the .55 off 1 coupon from the 12/7 Smartsource insert, they'll only be 1.99 after the coupon doubles to 1.00.  That comes out to only .66 per pound!

  

My family loves these, in fact I've bought a total of 11 pounds of them in the last 2 weeks!!   My son doesn't enjoy regular oranges because of the high amounts of pulp, but he loves these.  They are super sweet and yummy and smaller sized to make great snacks for kids and adults.  

Even our chocolate lab is gaga over them!!  We dropped a piece and she quickly snatched it up and now whenever she sees us opening one, she immediately comes over to beg.  Unfortunately for her, her puppy dog eyes don't work all that often!!!

Kroger - Deals for Week of 12/15 - 12/22

Update - Coupons and KMart

HI!!!

I'm really sorry if you've checked back here a few times (or alot!!) over the past week or so and have seen the same boring coffee creamer post!! I'm pretty bogged down right now, with, well....just life I guess!! My computer time lately has been spent working on gifts for the family and when I'm not doing that, we're doing our lessons (homeschool), shopping, cleaning and tomorrow we're adding in baking!!

I did shop Kroger and Meijer this week and didn't think there was really anything awesome. They both have fresh produce on sale. Kroger has Tyson boneless skinless chicken breast for 1.77 per pound. Overall, it just wasn't much, which was really fine for me because I haven't clipped my coupons in two weeks and I just can't do it right now!!

Now that it's a new month, most of the online coupon sites have changed coupons. You can just scroll down to see on the right side of the blog here a list of printable sites to check. Coupons.com even has some for Star Wars toys!!

I know the regular coupons haven't been too great the last few weeks, but we should be getting at least two inserts this week, so hopefully it'll make up for the shortage!!

KMart is doing super doubles again this week. Which means they will double any coupon up to 2.00, but will not go over the price of the item. You may want to call ahead to your store and be sure they're doing it before you leave!!

Well if I find any great deals I'll be sure and share them with you, otherwise, have a great week and Merry Christmas!!!

Kroger & Meijer - Deals for the Week of 11/16

I shopped Meijer and Kroger and found some great deals that I thought I'd share. Here's what I found, first Meijer and then Kroger:

Del Monte canned vegetables are .50 each. Use the 1.00 off 4 coupon from the 11/16 Redplum insert to pay 1.00 for 4 cans (.25 each).

Del Monte 50% Less Salt canned vegetables are also .50 each. Use the .30 off 1 coupon from the 11/16 Redplum to get them free!!

Green Giant Valley Fresh Steamers frozen vegetables are .89. Use the 1.00 off 1 coupon from the 11/16 Smartsource insert to get those free!!

Betty Crocker boxed potatoes are 1.00. Use the .35 off 1 coupon from the 11/16 Smartsource insert to pay .30 each.

McCormick Gravy Mixes are on sale. Some are .45 each and some are .89 each. Use the .25 off 2 coupon from the 11/2 Redplum insert to pay .40 for two (.20 each) or 1.28 for two (.64 each).

Philadelphia Cream Cheese is 1.25. Use the .50 off 2 coupon from the 11/2 Smartsource insert to pay .75 each. Plus there is a catalina deal on these (coupon that prints at the register to use on your next order). I bought 6 and got a 3.00 catalina. This also works at Kroger which is a better deal because if you buy 6 and use 3 coupons, at Meijer only two coupons will double but at Kroger all three will double and you'll still get the catalina. At Meijer after you consider the catalina, it's like paying .33 each at Kroger it's like paying .25 each.

Progresso Chicken Broth (in the carton) is 1.67. Use the 1.00 off 1 coupon from the 11/16 Smartsource insert to pay .67 each.

Knorr/Lipton Pasta and Rice Sides are 1.00. Use the .75 off 2 coupon from the 11/16 Redplum insert to pay 1.00 for two (.50 each).

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Like I mentioned above Philadelphia Cream Cheese is 1.25. If you buy 6 and use three .50 off 2 coupons you'll pay 4.50 and get back a 3.00 catalina which makes them net only .25 each.

Tennessee Pride Sausage Gravy is 1.00. Use the .55 off 1 coupon from the 11/16 Redplum insert to get them free!!

Betty Crocker Frostings are 1.50. Use the .50 off 1 coupon from the 11/16 Smartsource insert to pay .50 each. Plus you can load a .55 off 1 coupon here to your Kroger Plus Card and get one free after paper coupon and e-coupon!!

Bird's Eye Steamfresh frozen vegetables are 1.00. Use the .35 off 1 coupon from the 10/12 Smartsource insert to pay .30 each.

Kroger has their turkey's on sale this week also. If you buy a Riverside, Honeysuckle or Butterball turkey you can get 7.00 off for a turkey that weighs between 10 and 16lbs or you can get 12.00 off for a turkey that weights more than 18lbs. I got two one for our Thanksgiving dinner and one just for another dinner down the road. I got an almost 13lb Riverside one for 7.73 and an around 11lb one for 5.78. Those come out to about .59 a pound.

Fresh celery is .69 each.

Those are the deals I found while shopping this past two days. If you found more, please share with us!!!

I'll have my Thrifty Thanksgiving post ready tomorrow, so stop back for that!!! Have a good week!!

Kroger, Meijer, CVS & Thanksgiving - A Cornucopia of Info!!

This picture has nothing to do with this post and since I didn't really have a picture that did go with this post, I thought I'd just share this one!! These are paper mache frogs (well paper mache covered tissue boxes!!) that we made while reading Aesop's Fable, The Frogs Who Wished for a King!! Aren't they cute???


Just A Note:

Kroger is doing the Mega Event again this week, so if you still have coupons, head on over to there and get some more great deals. There were a few coupons in this past weeks paper that you can use, like Tylenol Rapid Release Gels and Hormel Pepperoni.

I made a quick look over Meijer's ad online and didn't see a whole lot. They have Bob Evan's Frozen Breakfasts on sale 1/2 price and with coupons that could be a good deal. Also certain Lysol cleaning products are 1/2 price, and again you could use coupons on that for a good deal.



I will be shopping on Friday this week, so after that I'll know a little more about what's out there. I should have my list ready sometime tomorrow, and I'll share that so you can see what I'm planning to purchase.



Other than that, you can stop over at CVS for Palmolive dish soap .24 after coupon and ECB, a free bottle of Smart Water (after ECB) and a Garnier Shampoo or Conditioner free after coupon and ECB.



Have a great week!!!

PS: I'm working on a Thrifty Thanksgiving post, as I've now decided to undertake my first full Thanksgiving meal for my husband's family. This should be interesting!!!

Kroger - A Few More Deals for the Mega Event

I went back to Kroger tonight and found a few more deals for the Mega Event they are having.  If you haven't seen all the great deals to be had there yet, click here for a big list!!  

Oh, and I went to the Kroger Marketplace in Lebanon and they were surprisingly stocked up on almost everything in the sale.  I got more Tylenol PM, Betty Crocker Potatoes, Carnation Evaporated Milk and a few others and found them all to be very stocked up.  The only thing I couldn't find was the cereal.  I wanted to get one box of Cinnamon Toast Crunch (my son's favorite!!) and they were out of that, but overall I was thrilled with the stock!!  I was preparing myself on the drive there to just deal with them being out of most things, but I was pleasantly surprised!!

So anyway, you may have already read these on other blogs, but just in case here's what else I found:

Scotch-Brite Nail Saver Kitchen Sponges are free after the sale price, event and coupon (1.00 off 2 from the 10/26 Redplum insert).

Hunt's Large Can of Tomato Products (Crushed or Diced Tomatoes and Tomato Sauce) are priced at 1.50 and then will be 1.00 when you buy 10 items in the event.  You can use the .40 off 2 coupon from the 9/21 Smartsource and load the 1.00 off 5 from Shortcuts.com.  So if you buy 6 you'll pay 6.00 before coupons and if you three .40 off 2 and the 1.00 off 5 e-coupon you'll pay 2.60 for 6 very large cans (.43 each).  Thanks to Heather for informing me of this one!!

Dove Ice Cream Bars are priced at 2.50 and then 2.00 after you buy 10 items.  But the best part is, most of the boxes have coupons inside for 1.00 off another box of the bars and 2.00 off any container of Dove Ice Cream.  You can use both of those coupons for the Mega Event and get some really cheap ice cream!!

Well that's it for today!!  Let's Go Krogering!!!

If you buy 3 Jell-O's which are on sale for .50 each, you can use the 1.50 off 2 coupon from Meijer Mealbox (they may or may not adjust the coupon down to 1.00 because that's what the actual price for two is) so you'll pay either .50 of 0 and then you'll get a 2.00 catalina (coupon that prints at the register for use on your next order). So you'll be ahead either 1.50 or 2.00!!

Fleischman's 3-pk yeasts are on sale for .95. Use the .45 off 1 coupon from the 10/5 Smartsource insert to pay only .05 each. And then you'll get a catalina for .50 off your next order, so you'll be ahead .45!!!

Birds Eye Steam Fresh Frozen Vegetables are 1.33 each. Use the 1.00 off 2 Meijer coupon in the Frozen Food Insert found at the front of the store plus use two .35 off 1 coupons from the 10/12 Smartsource insert to pay .26 for two (.13 each)!!

Breyer's Ice Cream is 2.50. Use the 1.00 off 2 Meijer coupon in the frozen food insert and use two .50 off 1 coupons from the 10/26 Redplum insert to pay 2.00 for two (1.00 each!).

So if you bought 3 Jell-O's, 1 yeast strip, 2 veggies and 2 ice creams, you'll pay 2.31 (or 2.81 if they only take off 1.00 for the Jell-O's) and get back 2.50 in Catalina's!!!

Kroger:

Tyson Frozen Chicken Nuggets are 2.50. Use the .55 off 1 coupons from several different inserts and pay only 1.50.

Quaker Instant Oatmeal is 2.49. Use the .50 off 1 coupon from the 9/7 Redplum to pay only 1.49 each.

Purex Laundry Detergent is 1.99. Use the .50 off 1 coupon from the 8/10 Smartsource inserts to pay only .99!!

Halls Cough Drops are 1.00. Use the .50 off 1 coupon from the 10/26 Smartsource to get them free!!!

Sunmaid 6pk raisins are 1.50. Use the 1.00 off 2 coupon from the 10/5 Redplum insert to pay 2.00 for two (1.00 each).

Purell 2oz Hand Sanitizers are 1.00. Use the .60 off 1 coupon from the 7/27 Smartsource insert to get them free!!

Betty Crocker Frosting is 1.50. Use the .50 off 1 coupon from the 10/19 Smartsource insert to pay .50. Plus you can load a .55 off 1 coupon at Shortcuts.com to get one for free plus .05 overage!

Celestial Seasonings Tea is still 1.00. Use the 1.00 off 1 coupon from the 10/5 Smartsource insert to get those free!!

Those are the best deals I found today! I hope it helps and you have a great shopping week!!

My Shopping Trip - 10/20 (Kroger, CVS, Walgreens, Meijer)

Ok, I went shopping today! I hit Kroger, CVS, Walgreens and Meijer. Here's what I was able to round up. I wanted to stay under my $45 cash allowance and I made it!!!


Kroger:

I got 8 Nesquick Milks. Sale Price 1.00. I used .50 off 1 coupons. Paid 0

5 Celestial Seasonings Teas. Sale Price 1.00. Used 1.00 off 1 coupons. Paid 0

4 Brut Deodorants. Sale Price 1.00. Used .50 off 1 coupons. Paid 0

1 Febreze Noticeable Starter Kit. Sale Price 6.89. Used 5.00 off 1 paper coupon and 5.00 off 1 loadable coupon. Paid 0, got 3.11 in overage.

2 Tennessee Pride Sausage Rolls. Sale Price 2.00. Used .50 off 1 coupons. Paid 1.00 each.

2 Green Giant Frozen Vegetables. Sale Price 1.00. Used .50 off 2 paper coupon and .50 off 2 loadable coupon. Paid .25 each.

8 Cans of Campbell's Kids Soups. Sale Price 1.00. Used .40 off 2 coupons. Paid .60 each.

1 2lb Velveeta. Paid 4.48. (I need it for a recipe I want to try!)

I paid around 7.xx.


CVS:

I got 3 2-packs of Gum Toothbrushes. Priced at 3.99 each. I used .75 off 1 coupons. Paid 3.24 each and got back 3.99 in ECB's for each one (11.97 total).

1 Powerade. Priced at 1.69. Got 1.69 in ECB's back.

2 Brach's Candy Corns. Priced at 1.29. Got back 1.29 in ECB's each (2.58 total).

1 Just for Men Hair Color Kit. Priced at 7.99. Got 7.99 in ECB's back.

2 Excedrin Express Gels 20ct. Priced at 1.99 each. I used two 2.00 off 1 printables and one 3.00 off 1 CRT (CVS coupon at bottom of receipt).

1 3pk of CVS paper towels. Priced at 1.99. I used 1.00 off 1 CRT.

So I ended up spending around 19.00 (18 in ECB's and 1 in cash) and got back 24.23 in ECB's.

Walgreens:

For some reason (ok I really know, it's because it's WALGREENS, when will I ever learn that Walgreens is just too difficult for me!!), not all of my deals worked. I didn't realize it until later and I'm just too tired to worry about it at this point. Oh well. Here's what I got:

4 bags of Mars Candy. Sale priced at 4 for 10. I used two 1.00 off 2 coupons. Paid 8.00 and will submit for 4.00 rebate.

3 Maalox Tablets. Priced at 4.99. I used 2.00 off 1 coupons. Paid 8.97 and got back 8.00 in Register Rewards.

3 bottles of Tylenol Cold. Priced at 4.99. I used 1.00 off 1 manufacturer coupons and 1.50 off 1 coupon from Easy Saver Booklet. Paid 7.50 and got back 5.00 in Register Rewards.

1 Alka Seltzer plus Cold. Priced at 4.99. I used 1.00 off 1 coupon from some booklet I got a while back. Paid 3.99. Was supposed to get back 4.99 in Register Rewards, but didn't!

2 Visine Drops. Priced at 2 for 8.00. Used 3.00 off 1 coupons from All You Magazine. Paid 2.00. Got back 2.00 in Register Rewards.

2 St. Ives Elements Face Cleansers. Priced at 4.99 each. Used buy one get one free coupon. Paid 4.99. Was supposed to get 5.00 in Register Rewards, but didn't!! ($10 total that I missed out on!!)

I used a 5.00 Register Reward from a previous transaction and still ended up with some great deals, so that's why I'm not too worried about it. It's just frustrating that nearly everytime I go to Walgreens, I end up with problems. I guess it's the price I have to pay for the cheap products!! Anyway, I ended up paying 8.00 in cash after coupons, my 5.00 register reward and the balance of my gift card from last month.

Meijer:

6 Boxes of Aunt Millies Muffins. Priced at 2.00 (they raised the price from 1.50 boo-hoo!!). Used .50 off 1 coupons. Paid 1.00 each.

3 bags of Hershey candy. Priced at 1.88 each. I used 1.00 off 3 coupon. Paid 1.55 each.

2 bags of Nestle candy. Priced at 1.88 each. I used 1.00 off 1 printable coupons. Paid .88 each.

1 Loaf of Aunt Millie Bread. Paid 1.19.
2 Smuckers Uncrustables. Priced at 1.49 each. I used 1.00 off 2 coupon found in Meijer insert at the store and two .55 off 1 coupons. Paid 0!!

I used my four 4.00 off your next order coupons from the Glade Deal and paid 21.50 total. I had to break it up into 4 orders to make sure I could double all my coupons and use the 4 Catalinas. I stopped to get me and the kids 1.00 double cheeseburgers from McDonalds (we had free Nesquick to drink!!) and we also got one sheet of the Trick or Treat Coupons. After that lunch and all our shopping, I still have one dollar left!! I'm pretty proud of that!!!

I also wanted to note that Endust is half price at Meijer, making it 1.79. Use the 2.00 off 1 coupon to get it free!! My store was out of them!!

An Explanation and a Few Kroger & Meijer Deals

Ok here goes:

Unfortunately, I won't be doing as many posts as I used to do. I just simply can't keep up with all the deals and all the other responsibilities I have at home. If I go a day or two without posting something, I feel really bad and I just can't keep feeling that way. I know it's my own fault for these feelings, but alas, I can't seem to help it.

After our vacation, I knew I was going to have to either cut back or let it go altogether and my decision at this point is to make a huge cut back. I get excited when I find those great deals (think freebies or nearly free) and truly want to share those with all of you and so that's what I intend to keep doing. It will most likely just be Kroger and Meijer deals that I post, because CVS and Walgreens deals are plentiful on the web.

Perhaps I'm really slow at it, but the big Kroger, Meijer and CVS posts that I usually do take at least an hour to do each. And while 3 hours a week may not seem like a lot, for some reason, it is just really hard for me to accomplish. So if you're about to head out to the store and want to make sure you don't miss a huge deal, then check here before going out and hopefully I'll have what you need. Otherwise, hotcouponworld is a great place to find all the everyday regular deals.

I hope you understand. After lots of prayer and consideration, it has just become clear to me that I can't do all that I've "signed up" to do at this point and some things need to be cut back so that the really important things can have my most and best attention. Thanks to all of you, I truly appreciate each and every reader out there!!

So anyway, here's some awesome deals I found this morning at Kroger and Meijer:

Meijer:
Green Giant Valley Fresh Steamers Frozen Vegetables are on sale for 1.00. Use the 1.00 off 1 coupon from the 10/5 General Mills insert (they were also in another insert, but I can't find the date of it right now) to get them free!!!

Hillshire Farms Smoked Sausage and Links are on sale for 1.39. Use the 1.00 off 2 smoked sausage to get two packs for 1.78 (.89 each) or use the .55 off 1 links coupon to get them for .39 each (after coupon doubles)!!! Both coupons are from the 10/5 Redplum insert. That is just an awesome price for those, I stocked up today and Meijer still had tons of them for all of you!!

Orville Redenbacher popcorn is half price making it 1.59. Use the 1.00 off 1 Naturals variety from the 9/21 Smartsource to get that for .59 or use the .40 off 1 coupon from the 10/12 insert to get the regular varieties for .79 each.

Kroger:
Muir Glen Tomato Pastes are on sale for .75. Use the .75 off 1 coupon from the 9/28 Smartsource insert to get it free!!!

I found clearanced Cascadian Farms frozen vegetables in a bin by the meat department priced at .99. I used the 1.00 off 1 coupon from the 8/24 Smartsource insert to get them free!!! There were lots of them left. They also had other brands of organic frozens on clearance as well. This was at the Maineville Kroger on 48.
