I saved $192 on groceries this week. Find out how
It was one of my best shopping trips ever and it was thanks in large part to the Kroger Mega Sale.
Last Saturday with a list in hand, I bought $210 worth of groceries at Kroger. Once at checkout, the combination of $30 in Mega Sale Instant Savings, coupons and a $50 gift card, I only paid $18. Even if you count what I would have paid without the gift card, that is a savings of 72 percent! This is proof that if you are serious about saving, you can make a huge dent in your budget by shopping smarter.
Now, Andrea Deckard over at Mommysnacks has helped compile a pretty comprehensive list of the items available in the Mega Sale and how much they cost after coupons. Use this to help you save big this week! I just couldn’t have put together a better list! Thanks, Andrea!
Here’s how the Mega Sale works. Buy any 10 participating items and get $5 off instantly at check-out. Mix and match any of the items to get the savings. Remember, SS= Smart Source insert, RP= Red Plum, P&G= Procter & Gamble, GM= General Mills.
If you play the sale right, you can get more than just the sale items and still wind up with big savings. Saturday I bought 2 gallons of milk, 2 loaves of bread, 1 package of hamburger buns, 5 bananas, 2 packages of ground beef, a marked down pot roast, Iams cat food (with a $3 off coupon) and carpet cleaner (with a $1 off coupon) and still got my total down through the Mega Sale savings.
I also use sales like this to try new things at a low price. That is how my husband was first introduced to Frank’s Red Hot Sauce, to which he is now addicted. Last week, I ordered extra copies of the Frank’s coupon and bought 14 bottles for just 19 cents each. Now we are set with sauce for at least the next couple of months.
