This week, Kroger stores are running what is usually called a "mega event," where $5 is deducted from your order when you buy 10 participating items (basically a $.50 discount per item). If you combine this sale with coupons, you can often get some pretty good deals.
A couple things to remember when shopping at Kroger: 1) They always double coupons up to $.50 (so $.50 coupons take off $1), although they may limit the number of like coupons that will be doubled per transaction, and 2) Kroger stores are divided into regions, and different regions start new sale ads at different times. Some parts of the country started this deal today, while others won't start until Thursday; prices on some items may also vary.
Here are the potential deals I see:
(2) Kraft cheese (slices, shreds, chunks, or snacking) @ $1.99 each = $3.98 - $.50/bag promo discount = $2.98
Use $1 on 2 coupon from 8/9 insert. Final cost = $1.98/2, or $.99 per bag after sale and coupons
Note: There are two coupons from the same insert that will work for the cheese - one is for slices, and the other is for shreds, chunks, etc. The coupons expire on 9/15, so if you want to use them, you'll need to do it before Tuesday.
Edy's ice cream @ $2.99 each - $.50 promo discount = $2.49
Use $1 coupon from 8/23 insert. Final cost = $1.49 after sale and coupons
Juicy Juice @ $2.49 - $.50 promo discount = $1.99
Use $1 coupon from 8/9 insert (exact coupon values may vary). Final cost = $.99 after sale and coupons
Capri Sun @ $1.87 - $.50 promo discount = $1.37
Use $.75 coupon from summer 2009 issue or Kraft Food & Family magazine or $.50 coupon (doubles to $1) from the fall issue. Final cost = $.37-$1.02 after sale and coupons
***If you're planning on doing the Nabisco Pack a Kraft Smile rebate I posted about, this would be a great time to buy the required drinks.
***Some Krogers may also "double" the $.75 coupon to $1; you may want to check with your local store and find out their coupon policy.
Hot Pockets @ $1.99 - $.50 promo discount = $1.49
Use $.50 coupon from 9/13 insert. Final cost = $.49 after sale and coupons
Note: Coupon is good only on certain kinds of pizza Hot Pockets products, and I'm not 100% certain that these products are included. I recommend checking at your store to make sure.
(2) Oscar Mayer hot dogs @ $1.99 = $3.98 - $.50/pkg. promo discount = $2.98
Use $1 on 2 coupon from the 8/23 insert or this printable coupon. Final cost = $1.98/2, or $.99 each after coupon and sale
Oscar Mayer Lunchables @ $2.49 - $.50 promo discount = $1.99
Use $1 coupon from 8/30 insert. Final cost = $.99 after coupon and sale
Wheat Thins Flatbread Crackers @ $2.29 - $.50 promo discount = $1.70
Use $1 printable coupon. Final cost = $.70 after coupon and sale
(2) Philadelphia Cream Cheese @ $1.49 = $2.98 - $.50/pkg. promo discount = $1.98
Use $1 on 2 coupon from 8/9 insert. Final cost = $.98/2, or $.49 each after coupon and sale
Nestle Cookie Dough @ $2.49 - $.50 promo discount = $1.99
Use $1 coupon from 9/13 insert. Final cost = $.99 after coupon and sale
Velveeta 2 lb. loaf @ $4.49 - $.50 promo discount = $3.99
Use $1 coupon from 8/9 insert. Final cost = $2.99 after coupon and sale
*Velveeta is one of those things that I have never seen a really great sale on. If you use it, this is probably about as good as it will get.
Easy Mac cups @ $1.09 - $.50 promo discount = $.59
A while back, there were $.55/2 and "buy 2, get 1 free" tearpad coupons in many stores. If you have these, the final cost could be as low as $.04 each after sale and coupons
***If you're doing the Nabisco Pack a Kraft Smile rebate, this would be a great time to get these!
(2) Jell-O @ $1.27 = $2.54 - $.50/box promo discount = $1.54
Use $.50/2 coupon (doubled) from 7/26 insert. Final cost = $.54/2, or $.27 each after sale and coupon

Also, some Kroger stores (in our area it's the ones close to Harris Teeter stores) will run super doubles where they double coupons up to $1.98. I don't know how to find out about it other than word of mouth or calling the stores. The ones here in Murfreesboro don't, but the ones in Nashville close to my parents do.
ReplyDeleteI'm jealous that your stores do those! I think Harris Teeter sometimes does super doubles, so maybe they do it to compete with them? Our Kroger never doubles above $.50. I think Kroger's policies can vary quite a bit from region to region, so you're lucky!
