I really made out during our Saturday, 7/26 shopping trip! Kroger had their "Mega-Event" and it was very, very mega! They had certain items on sale, and you could mix and match. Buy any 10 of these items and receive $5 off of that purchase. They are also having this sale the week of August 2nd. Here is a link to Kroger's sale ad for this week! This store ad is for the Kroger in my area (New Lexington, Ohio)...you may want to find the store ad for the Kroger in your area.
You could only have 3 of these deals for each shopping trip. I decided to take full advantage of these trips, so we made multiple trips! Since the deal is $5.00 off of 10 items, basically each item has an additional $0.50 off the coupon price!
Kroger Deal #1
- 20 bags of Tidy Cats cat litter - normal price $2.00 each. These were on sale for $1.50 each. I bought 20 $1.00 off coupons off of eBay for $1.00 (for all 20). I got these for $0.50 each!
- Betty Crocker cookie mixes - on sale for $1.50 each. I used a "Save $1.00 on 2 packages" coupon and got two packages for $2.00 (only $1.00 each!)
- Bett Crocker Warm Delights bowl - on sale for $1.50 each. I had a bonus coupon (from www.shortcuts.com - these coupons load directly onto your Kroger card) for $0.50 and I also used a $0.55 manufacturer's coupon (Kroger doubled it to $1.10). I got this for FREE!

For this deal, I had a coupon from Kroger (loyal customer discount) for 15% off pet products, making this deal even cheaper than my first cat litter deal! I bought a total of 40 bags of cat litter for less than $20!

Wow! I always love finding a GREAT deal. I think it is a stay-at-home mom's drug. What is your main source of info? I use several different sites. My latest problems have been that my Target no longer accepts their own web coupons and my kroger only douples 50 cent q's. Keep up the awesome work and thanks for the tips!!
Thank you so much for the encouragement and for taking the time to read my blog. Within the last couple of months I have been addicited to coupons. What is really nice is that I don't even buy a newspaper. I get all of my coupons from my mother-in-law (which she does cut out some coupons, but since she pays for her papers she has the right:0), my mother (she never cuts out coupons), and a lady my husband works with. What has really helped me and what is my main source of info is moneysavingmom.com. I have been reading this blog for a few months, and it has really helped me to use coupons the right way. I am sorry to hear about your Kroger that is a bummer. Our Kroger doubles coupons up to $.99 coupons. Thanks again for taking the time to read my blog:)
