Kroger: Saved 63% Using Printable Coupons

July 23, 2010

This was definitely a strange-looking shopping trip for me. I stocked up last week, so we didn’t need much grocery-wise. I just wanted to take advantage of the Kroger 10 Item Mega Event. So I made a quick lunch hour stop with a fistful of printable coupons. Here’s what I got.

Spent: $27.24
Saved: $46.30 (63%)

My 10 Item Mega Event Items

 4 Welch’s 100% Juice – $2.99 each
Used 4 $1.00 off printable coupons
Final Price: $1.99 each

4 Quaker Quakes/True Delights – $.99 each
Used 2 $1.00 off 2 printable coupons
Final Price: $.49 each

2 Softsoap Hand Soaps – $.99 each
Used 2 $.50 off printable coupons (doubled to $1.00 off)
Final Price: FREE

Other Deals

1 Kroger Brand Sugar – FREE
Our local Kroger stores are running a 3-day sale this weekend. If you purchase $25 worth of other grocery items, you get a FREE bag of Kroger brand sugar! I don’t know if this is happening in all Kroger stores or just locally, but it was a nice surprise!

2 Cottonelle Bath Tissue (12 double rolls) – $4.99
Used 2 $.50 off  Cottonelle Toilet Paper, 4 pk + (IE) or Printable (FF) (doubled to $1.00 off)
Final Price: $3.99 each

Post Raisin Bran – $2.99
Used $2.00 off Post printable (previously available)
Final Price: $.99

4 Planter’s Flavor Grover Almonds – $2.39 each
Used 4 $1.50 off printable Facebook coupons
Final Price: $.89 each

Gala Apples – $2.50

I had one $1.00 off catalina from last week to go with my printable coupons. I also made one more quick stop on the way home for milk and a rotisserie chicken. (Didn’t want those sitting in the car after my lunch hour!) But that’s it for us this week!

    do printable coupons have to be in color? and can you expired coupons?

    Thanks,
    Marilyn

      Good question, Marilyn! This depends on your store. I recommend calling them ahead of time to find out what their store policy is. I shop at CVS, Kroger, and Rite Aid most often, and I use a black-and-white printer. I’ve never had any trouble at those stores or at Target. If you’re shopping somewhere else, it would be worth calling before you start printing.
