Hi!! Well I haven't made it to Kroger (payless) yet this week. I did have to make a quick stop today though for diapers. Got a pack of Huggies for $3.49. But i was walking around and noticed a lot of the current buy 10 get $5.00 off items aren't in the ad. How in the heck am I supposed to plan if the don't advertise it all?? Plus my husband threw away my ad so I have to look it up on the internet. I like having the copy in front of me.
So has anyone gotten anything that wasn't in the ad on the sale?
What I have noticed very quickly with the buy 10 get $5.00 deal is:
-it goes on for several weeks
-all the deals are the same each week BUT what's advertised for the deals in the ad change
-some new items may be added to the current deal
What I do is I've gone in and "price shopped" took my binder and went through all my q's and made match ups. I purchased necessary items right then and then worked up the deals at home for a quick return shopping trip later. Yes, it's a little more time consuming, but Kroger has so many more deals then they advertise that it makes it hard to plan accordingly.
I plan on going in today to scope it out! It's a little hard with my 1yr old though! I'm looking for those Chex Mix or Cheerios Snack Mix to be on sale.
Stopped at Kroger today to scope out the 10 get 5 off deals. Most of them aren't advertised in the ad so I wanted to see what else was going on. Went ahead and bought some items
2 Fruit Rolls Up
5 Cheerios/Chex Mix Snack Mix
2 Toaster Scrambler
Armour Meatball
Spaghetti Pasta
My OOP: $4.32 whoo hoo
Saved: $26.24

Not bad I think without going into the store with a plan!
thank u so much! the pringle sticks weren't on the buy 10 get $5 off. they were reg. $2.99 and they doubled the $.50 off q. i had went to walmart before kroger and they were way more there, so i'm glad i waited to check the price at kroger. i'm finally beginning to see why everybody hates walmart and loves kroger. by the way, you done a great job too. i can't wait to come out of the store with that much and do that good!
