I ran in with two of my three boys to grab snack for tonight’s baseball game and managed to snag some great deals at Kroger ’s Mega Event sale that just started today. All original prices listed below are AFTER the $.50/item discount that you get for buying 10 participating items. Gerber Little Graduates Meals and Cookies (that’s all that was included in our store) – $1.99 - $1/1 coupon (if you don’t see it, use zip 90210) And right now if you buy 4 or more, you also get a Catalina for $2 off your next purchase TOTAL: $.49 each if you buy four (you’ll need more than one computer to print 4 coupons ) Ritz or Nabisco Snack Crackers – $1.99 - $1/1 Munchables coupon TOTAL: $.99 (I actually got these for FREE because it took my paper coupon and then still used Ecoupon loaded to my card. I gave the card at the end.) Yoplait Gogurts – $1.69 -$.75/2 coupon TOTAL: $1.32 each General Mills Cereals – $1.99 - $1/3 coupon (if you don’t see it, use zip 9021...

These Lunchables without drinks are on sale this week at Kroger for just $1 each. There are reports that when you buy four Lunchables, a coupon prints out for $1.50 off six Lunchables. If you don’t have any other coupons , that makes 10 Lunchables for just $8.50! Since school is starting, this is the best time to take advantage of this deal. Thank you MyDFWMommy !

Savingstar has posted new coupons that you can add directly to your account in order to save additional $$ when you shop at participating stores such as CVS and Kroger . There are even coupons for some school supplies such as Elmer’s glue sticks.

Summer Clearance is starting in many local stores. This is a great time to pick up lawn furniture, swimming accessories, coolers, and more: Target ’s summer stuff is or should be 75% off at your local store. CVS summer stuff was down to 25% off the last time I saw it, but stores clearance at different times so your store may be at a different percentage. Kroger has their lawn furniture and summer items at 50% off this week. I would guess they would go 75% soon because they’ve been at 50% for almost an entire week now.

  Driscoll’s strawberries are on sale this week at Kroger for just $1.38. Use this coupon to get them for $.38 (if your Kroger doubles).  

This week at Krogers, wipe refills are on sale for $1.49 when you buy 5. There are also $.50/1 Huggies wipes coupon. That means you should be able to get the wipes for just $.49 each.

Huggies are on sale at Kroger this week for just $7.99. Use the following coupons and get them as cheap as $3.99 a bag. 3/1 Huggies Pure & Natural Diapers Huggies Home Mailer (exp 7/31/2011) $2.50/1 Huggies Little Snugglers Diapers Huggies Home Mailer (exp 7/31/2011) $ 2/1 Huggies Pull-Ups Training Pants $1.50/1 Huggies Diapers $1.50/1 Huggies Diapers 6/12/2011 SS (exp 7/9/2011) $1.50/1 Huggies Diapers $1.50/1 Huggies Pull-Ups Training Pants 6/12/2011 SS (exp 7/9/2011)

Yesterday I posted a list of some valuable coupons that I would recommend printing. I found a couple more. Print $1/1 coupon for Pine-sol and you should be able to get it for less than a $1 when combined with a sale. (I just might have an addiction to Pine-sol, so if you don’t want your coupons feel free to send me your’s ) When I was at Kroger briefly yesterday , I noticed that they had pineapples on sale for $1! That’s a great price alone, but there is also a $1.25/2 coupon on Del Monte pineapple right now which would mean you could get 2 pineapples for just $.75! $1/1 Philadelphia Cooking Creme

  Kroger has made some changes to their coupon policy in various places around the country. In the DFW area we had not seen a change, but this week some were reporting that the policy had changed to not allow doubling and tripling of coupons. I think this was fueled by the fact that the Kroger ad no longer has a big banner showing their doubling/tripling policy. However, today I made a quick run in to the Kroger nearest us (Lake Forest/Eldorado) and asked if they still are doubling and tripling. The customer service desk assured me that they WERE still doubling and tripling coupons, and they WERE NOT changing their policy. So check the store near you and make sure they know how important their coupon policy is to you and your likelihood to shop there.

I just bought some of this tea to try it . . . and I LOVE it. It’s not super sweet. It doesn’t taste like bottled or canned tea. They even have one that’s sweetened with honey instead of sugar.

Thanks Nickles & Dimes !
