My Kroger Shopping Trip and A Gift Card Giveaway

So Kroger is holding a Mega Savings Event! The concept of this savings even is that you get a $5 instant savings when you buy 10 participating products. Thanks to General Mills and PepsiCo, I received a $30 Kroger gift card to see how far I could make it go. They were also kind enough to give one of my lucky readers a $30 Kroger gift card too!

Participating Stores
Participating stores include many stores in The Kroger Family. So check your local store ad for details on participating products. The promotion ends soon so make sure you check out your local ad.

Participating Products
As always, read over your sales paper to see what all is included but General Mills and PepsiCo products, AMP Energy, Aquafina, Betty Crocker Baking Mixes, Betty Crocker Fruit Snacks, Cascadian Farms Cereals and Bars, Cap'n Crunch, Cheerios, Cheetos, Chex Mix, Cinnamon Toast Crunch, Cocoa Puffs, Dole Juices and Juice Drinks, Fiber One, Fritos, Gatorade, Golden Grahams, Green Giant, Hamburger Helper, Life , Lipton Tea, Nature Valley, Old El Paso, Pepsi family of 2 Liters, Pillsbury, Progresso, Propel, Quaker Instant Oatmeal, Quaker Chewy Bars, Starbucks, Sobe Life Water, Totino's, Trix, Tropicana, Yoplait and several others.

As for me....I was able to get some great stuff!


I was able to get everything pictured for $20.48! Not too bad I didn't think. The key is to buy what you have coupons for. That way you get to combine the savings! So make sure to check out Kroger!

my most recent was when I saved 60 off of a $120 bill but more recently was the time I saved $25 off of a $45 bill. I bought needed groceries, toilet paper, and then saved by watching for sales and using coupons

My best savings was my recent trip to the Kroger Mega Sale! I got $130 worth of groceries for only $30!! The bagger helped me out to my car and I told her I felt like she was a security guard escorting me out with my "loot"!! Hope I win!!, Follow you on Twitter!

One time last year I went to CVS and spent over $50 but only paid $6. That was cool.

I guess I've saved $40. I especially like saving up "Free" coupons and paying $0!
