2nd Megal Deal Run

[TinaKlein]

So I just got back from Kroger, and found out they only double one coupon of the same item from now on, not sure if this is nationwide, but adjust plans accordingly..I had to do all the fruit snacks in one transaction..luckily I had loaded all my cellfire, shortcuts and p&G coupons..I lost 1.30 counting the fruit snacks

1st transaction:

4 Pillsbury Cinn Rolls
4 Gushers
2 Scooby Doo Fruit Snacks
2 Lays Baked Chips
2 Toaster Struedels
6 Hamburger Helpers

Total OOP: 14.58

Savings 67%
(Have misplaced both of my receipts..little scattered brained today..mad that I have jury selection in an hour messing up my shopping day)

2nd Transaction:

2 Betty Crocker Brownie Mix
1 Bretty Crocker Cookie Mix
2 Propel water
2 Nature Valley Granola Bars
1 Chex Mix Trail Mix
1 Bag of Skittles
1 El paso Taco Shells

OOP: 4.60

I would say my savings was around 75 to 80% on this one
revamped my plan when I found out about the 1 double coupon rule.

Downside: Left my notebook..I lose more notebooks there
They were out of aquafina water

I have been to Kroger too often this week! So far I have bought 4 sets of 5 Betty Crocker fruit snacks, $0.15 MM each time. Here's how:

5 Fruit snacks at $1.99 each, $1.49 each after Mega deal, total $7.45.
Used 2 $0.50/2 coupons and 1 $0.40/1 IP each time for a total of $2.80 off.
Each visit 2 Shortcuts for $0.40 each, 1 Cellfire for $0.50, total $1.30 off.
Get back a $3.50 Cat for your next order when you buy 5.

Total $7.45 - $2.80 - $1.30 - $3.50 = - $0.15 for 5 boxes. For some reason each trip (different days each time) the 2 Shortcuts and 1 Cellfire came off.

I have also gotten 2 sets of 5 Nature Valley granola bars.

5 NV Granola bars at $2.49 each, $1.99 each after Mega deal, total of $9.95.
Used 3 $0.50/1 Dark choco, 2 $0.40/1 IPs. My store only doubles 2 like coupons, so total off was $4.10 in coupons
Each visit 2 Shortcuts for $0.40 each, 1 Cellfire for $0.50, total of $1.30 off.
Get back a Cat for $3.50 for your next order when you buy 5.

Total $9.95 - $4.10 - $1.30 - $3.50 = $1.05 for 5 boxes or $0.21 each box.

Each time I shopped I got GM cereals, Yoplait yogurt, Quaker cereal, etc also part of Mega deals. Quaker oatmeal squares are $0.49 each box after $1 coupons from inside Quaker instant oatmeal. Ended up with 22 boxes of cereal at $0.49-$0.99 each, I had a bunch of $1/2 coupons, some were IPs, others Kroger coupons.

I did not do the Fruit snacks and Nature Valley in the same visits since I was afraid I would not get both Cats in the same transaction. Now i have $21 in Cats to use next week.

What a great week!

OH my gosh!! That is awesome. $21 in Cats will go a long way! And I was happy that I got $4 in Cats last week. I'll have to look over your plan again before I go this week. Still have lots of q's for granola bars, fruit snacks and cereal. Breakfast/Lunches/snacks will be stocked for months to come

I didn't know the granola bars would give you a cat, how much is it? I only did one for the fruit snacks.

What a great week!

Also, do you know if it includes the NV clusters? I love those and have several q's for them still?

[IndianaMom]

Both Cats are for $3.50 off when you buy 5, I don't know the lesser amounts, probably $2.50 wyb 4, $1.50 wyb 3?

It seems my Shortcuts and Cellfire accounts are frozen, I can get the same deals I have loaded but can't reload any more coupons, and it is not counting the ones I use as being redeemed for either site.

I would love to know that too. I bought these last week for the first time. LOVE them and have several q's for them. A catalina would be a nice too.

[IndianaMom]

I want to know if the Nut Clusters are included too, since there are $0.50 and $1 coupons for those, they end up $0.99 each after the Mega deal discount. If anyone tries it let us know! If the deals run another week I would try to buy 5 at once, use 2 $0.50 coupons and 3 $1 coupons, and see if I get the $3.50 Cat. I could always use more cereal and yogurt with 4 kids.

Do you know when the NV started with the Cat? I bought 5 of the cluster last week with the deal but no CAT and i bought the fruit snacks and got a cat. I may try them again, I have several 1.00 off and some ecoupons too so I can get a couple for free and a couple for 1.00 a bag with the deal. I'll let you know if it works.

I was hoping these were still $1.99 this week. My Kroger doubles $ so I can get 3 free!!!! YEAH
