I shopped at Kroger for the Mega Event and did a bit of stockpiling! I had not done a real grocery shopping trip in two weeks. I had a couple of spurge items like the whip cream (dessert recipe coming up soon!), Velveeta Cheese (Super Bowl Party- go Steelers!) and the Claussen Pickles. I absolutely love Claussen Pickles- in my mind, no other pickle compares!
Some of my favorite deals:
Hunt’s Tomatoes or Tomato Sauce (10.5-14.5 oz.), $0.49
B1G1 Hunt’s Tomatoes (Kroger eCoupon)
FREE wyb 2 after eCoupon and instant savings!
*should deduct $0.99 for free item
Rotel Tomatoes (10 oz.), $0.39
$0.30/1 Rotel canned product (SS 1/23/11)

$0.50/1 Pepperidge Farm Deli Flats Rolls, exp. 2-27 (SS 1/2/11 #2)
$0.99 ea. after double coupon and instant savings!
Of course I can’t write out all of the coupon matchups from my shopping trip as that would be a very long list! I did want to point out one thing- use your free product coupons wisely. I have had a free Oscar Mayer Hot Dog coupon for a couple of months now. Since we did not need them, I was waiting to use this coupon at the perfect time. Oscar Mayer Hot Dogs are part of the Mega Event this week. I strategically used the free coupon towards the 10 items needed to get the $5 instant savings.
Don’t let those free product coupons burn a hole in your pocket- strategically use them to score a better deal!
Totals
I bought 40 Mega Event items plus (2) gallons of milk, produce, Kraft cheese on markdown and other needed items. Of course the total would have been lower if I just bought the Mega Event items. I only shop once every week or two so I always get the regular grocery items too.
Spent: $76.28
Saved: $94.10

Nice trip! I miss Kroger!
This was my first Mega Sale at Kroger. I spent $66.96 and saved $130.96 on a total of 70 items.
Mega Deals are by far my favorite! Spent $36, saved $100!
Great shopping trip!! I wished you had written down all of the items and sales and coupons. I had a similiar trip but didn’t come out as well as you did.
I have never gone to a mega event. I don’t shop at Kroger that often since the closest one to me is about 50 miles away. I would like to do more shopping there though.
Thanks for linking up at the Bluegrass Savers Weekly Savings Page. I love the upbeat look of your blog!
