Save $$ on Gas!

So gas prices went to almost $4/gallon overnight! It is quite depressing. So...use Kroger fuel points!!! For $1 off per gallon for one fill up (in the following month) you need 1000 Kroger fuel points. By normal means, this seems ridiculous...what crazy spends $1000 in groceries each month??? Well, there are other ways to get points, including 50 points per prescription filled, and 2x points on gift cards (i.e. if you bought a $25 GC you get 50 points).

Through April 7, Kroger is offering 4x points on gift cards, so for easy math, if you bought $250 in gift cards in March you get $1 off per gallon on one fill up in April. NOTE: Excludes Kroger gift cards and Prepaid cards (like Visa/MC)

Kroger has piles and piles of gift cards. Buy restaurant gift cards for places you know you're already going, but Disney gift cards and use them to pay for your trip (oh dear goodness I want to go to Disney), buy Home Depot cards for any home improvements, etc.

I would suggest checking the bottom of your last receipt for any grocery fuel points and buying however many gift cards would add up to 1000 points-before March 31-which would apply to an April fill up. Then April 1-7 purchase another $250 (or less depending on your grocery spending for the rest of the month) in gift cards for a May fill up. $250 seems like a ridiculous amount of money but you're really just prepaying for things you're already going to do!

a Few Kroger deals

2 things we run through fast now that I stay home: milk and ketchup...and they're both on sale at Kroger this week! And I just found a new place to load coupons onto my kroger card. They're called Digital Coupons (real creative) and they're available through the Kroger website (click on in store and then coupons). So we have Shortcuts, Cellfire and now Digital Coupons. Here are just a couple deals I'm going for this week at Kroger...

**All Detergent $3.59, use $2 paper coupon and load a $1 Digital Coupon = $.59
**Scotch Fur Fighter $???, load a $4 Cellfire coupon, and print a $4 PDF coupon = it's got to be free, right?
**Buy 4 participating Kellogg's/Keebler products get 2 free milk!, If you purchase 4 frosted flakes, apple jacks, froot loops, corn pops, cocoa krispies, or honey smacks @ $2.50 each you'll receive a catalina for $3 off your next order (buy 5 and get $4 off your next order). Print 2 - $1.50 off 2 coupons here and you're looking at paying $7 out of pocket for 4 cereals and 2 milks + $3 off your next order...$4 for all that, holy cow!
**Heinz ketchup 40 oz $1.59 (1/2 off!)

Diaper Deals this week

As if there's not enough to do this week with the holidays and Black Friday, there are some super Huggies deals! (PS I love Pampers, why oh why are Huggies always the ones on sale). I would prefer to get my diapers for $4 or less per pack, but it's been a while, so we've gotta pay a little more...

KMart
Huggies jumbo diapers & pull-ups $9.99, buy 3 get $6 off at checkout. Print a $2 Huggies coupon here, this $3 Pure & Natural coupon here or Pull-Ups coupons here or here, or add in whatever you have from the paper. Your total cost will be $4.99 - $5.99 depending on the coupons you use. If there are other things you want to purchase at KMart, use this $5 off $50 (hand over before all other coupons) to make your deal even sweeter!

CVS
Buy $20 worth of Huggies products get $5 ECB. Buy 2 packs of diapers for $18.99 and 1 Package of wipes for $6.99. Use any of the printable manufacturer coupons listed above with KMart, plus the $.50 off wipes from the paper = $4.99 - $5.49 per item. If you're new to CVS, check out the CVS-how to for extra info.

Walgreens
If I had been smart I would have looked for diaper deals yesterday when the $5 coupon was available …but now it’s gone. Huggies jumbos are $8.99, use any of the coupons above, along with the $1 off coupon from the Wags Coloring Book (it will multiply by the # you buy) = $4.99-$5.99 (if we had bought 4 with the $5 coupon we could have been down to $3.74-$4.74 boooooo)

Rite Aid
Receive 1- $3 SCR (single check rebate) with the purchase of 1 jumbo pack. Use any coupons above, plus you could buy some more stuff and use this $5 off $25. Through December if you buy 5 packs of Huggies you will get a coupon in the mail to get a 6th pack for free. Sorry, I’m not sure what the current cost is, but I think they’re on sale. The Mega packs also have a $2 SCR.

Kroger
Buy 2 packs of Huggies at $8.99. Use any 2 coupons from above. Load a $1.50 off coupon from shortcuts.com and $3 coupon (off 2) from cellfire.com onto your Kroger card = $3.74 $4.74. (Watch your receipt after checkout to make sure both loaded coupons come off – contact the websites if not)


And in the end submit ALL your Huggies receipts to the Caregivers Marketplace for an additional $.75 off per pack by rebate. WOOHOO!

Kroger - free card games

There aren't a whole lot of great deals at Kroger this week, but, in Sunday's USA Weekend magazine (I don't know why I chose to look through it) there was a coupon for buy one get one free Hasbro Card games (Scrabble Slam, Monopoly Deal & more). It was on page 3. Well, this week, Kroger has some of those games buy one get on free. So, pick up 2 of them this week and get them both for free!

Shopping in the Rain

I haven't finished my Kroger shopping yet, but I plan to tomorrow morning, lugging grocery bags in and out of the rain just makes me crazy. I found another rebate to use with the megasale - for Kid's Boost Essentials - yes for my kid that doesn't eat vegetables. Buy the chocolate version and mail in for this rebate. Check the previous post for all the printable coupons, but buy 2 at $11.49 each (when buying 10 MegaSale items), use the BOGO coupon and the $5 coupon (if you reached your print limit on the $5 coupon there is also a $3 newspaper coupon) = $6.49 out of pocket. THEN mail in for the $11.49 rebate - that's $5 overage! Hey, if you don't want the Boost, you can "buy" it for me and keep the profit!

There is also a 4-day sale through Saturday. I couldn't find the ad online, but the ad I heard on the radio sounded pretty good. I would grab a flyer if you go!

Trip #2 during my lunch break - I have one more planned (I keep running out of time!)
Kroger Plus Savings: 39.73
Coupon Savings: 13.70
Out of Pocket: 43.45
Additional Rebates: $10 (all towards Kraft Rebate)
Actual cost: $33.45
Total Savings: 65% or $63.43

Kroger through 8/1

I had a super trip to Kroger last night! A few weeks ago they had a $3 off 10 item purchase, then they had a $5 off 10 items, THIS week, it’s $4 off 4 P&G items. There are a lot of P&G newspaper coupons expiring Friday, so go through them and pick your favorites! Also, pair your newspaper coupons with P&G eSaver coupons to double your savings!

I took Jeremy with me, so of course, we bought more than what was on my list. We started out with an $88 bill (just short of the $100 I needed for the free milk) and ending up spending $46 after coupons and got back 2 - $10 gift cards from the AMP deal.

Free items this week (continued from previous weeks):
**Oral B $1, use $1 coupon = free
**Crest Cavity Protection $1, use $.50 or $1 coupon = free
**Playtex disposable gloves $1, use $1 coupon = free

There were lots of P&G items that peaked my interest, but the 4 I went for were:
**Secret PH Balanced $2.33 - $1 newspaper coupon - $1 for 4-item purchase = $.33
**Gillette body wash $3.49 - $1 newspaper coupon - $1 P&G eSaver - $1 for 4-item purchase = $.49
**Herbal Essense Shampoo/Conditioner $2.99 - $1 newspaper coupon - $1 P&G eSaver - $1 for 4-item purchase = $.01 overage
**Herbal Essense Styler $2.99 - $2.99 (buy one sham/cond get a styler free newspaper coupon) - $1 for 4-item purchase = $1 overage.

So the total of the 4 items gave me overage of $.19! Of course there are other super deals on Bounty, Charmin, Pringles, etc. but I wanted get the most bang for my…well negative $.19. With the P&G eSaver, newspaper coupons and getting $4 off every 4 items, this is a great stockupportunity. I’ll be going back later in the week and actually spending money on P&G products.

Speaking of later in the week, there is a huge 50% off sale on Friday. Most of the items don’t have manufacturer coupons associated with them, but they’ll be great deals for half price. Check out the ad .

$5 Kroger Gift Card! (helping the homeless in Louisville)

Jeff Street has partnered with Kroger in receiving 4% of all donations used on specific gift cards.

Sign up here to receive a gift card credited with $5. On your next Kroger visit, add money to the card - 4% of what you add goes straight to Jeff Street. You're spending the money anyway, why not just add the money to a gift card and use that on your next trip!

I am a big fan of using gift cards instead of debit cards because I consistently use my debit card and throw it in my purse/jacket/pocket and lose in for a couple of days in an effort to get out of the store quickly. I often buy $20 gift cards for CVS or Wags just so I don't misplace my debit card 2-3 (5-6) times a week. Am I the only short-term loser of debit cards?

You want more coupons, but not whole papers...

Hey! Me too! There were some great coupons in the paper this weekend. Whether you don't currently subscribe to the newspaper, or whether you want more of one coupon in particular, you have lots of options. Read the bottom of this post to see some reputable websites to order additional coupons.

I have one subscription for the Sunday paper, but places like Walgreens and Wal-Mart sell Sunday papers for $.99 (which is actually a little cheaper than having it thrown on my doorstep). Usually that one paper is plenty for our small family's needs, but when coupons come out that I know I'll use and want more of - or that I know I'll make a profit on, I'll order more.

For instance, today's paper has a coupon for $1 off any Quaker Rice Snack Product. Just last week those yummy yummy Quakes were on sale at Meijer 10 for $10. So I COULD have gotten it for free. I went on The Coupon Master website and ordered more! Others coupons I purchased:
**$2 off Gillette Shampoo ("free" at CVS in a few weeks AND also if KMart does Super Doubles again)
**$1 off Kibbles Wholesome Medley (George's usual food)
**$1 off 2 Nutri-Grain (this is from last weeks paper - Jacob eats these every morning for his pre-breakfast)
**$.50 off French mustard (often $1 at Kroger, which would be free when doubled)
**$.35 off Egglands Best (doubled at Kroger this is often cheaper than store brand - I needed to make a $3 purchase so this was my filler)

I also looked for the .50 off Cottonelle, but it seems they are out - Kroger has Cottonelle 4 packs for .99 everyday, so they would be free. Other good fillers are the $2.50 Electrosol coupons from a few weeks ago and $2 Excedrin (I should have added it because they're $1.99 at CVS this week, but I forgot). Good luck!
