I had so many super savings this week, I decided to break them up into two posts! You can see my CVS post here, but this one is alll about Kroger! I started off the week at Kroger to work the Daytona 500 promotion, where if you bought 10 of certain items, you got $3 off your order at checkout. You could do this up to three times per transaction. I did it twice in one transaction, and here is what I got:

That’s TEN jars of Ragu, two 5-packs of Kraft Mac & Cheese, and eight boxes of Fruit Roll-ups that counted towards the Daytona deal. I had 50-cents-off two Ragu coupons, which after the promotion made the Ragu just 78 cents each! I had 80-cents-off two coupons for the Fruit Roll-ups, which after the promotion made them only 87 cents each – but then I had a nice surprise when I was rewarded at checkout with a $3.50 catalina for buying the Fruit roll-ups!! So that makes them even cheaper!! I had a FREE coupon for the Cake mix and the tuna pouch which had printed for me on previous Kroger receipts. All in all, after all the coupons and promotions I paid $30.25 for all this and got back $3.50 to spend on my next order. Woohoo!

Then I heard about this hot Planters coupon (buy 3 participating Kraft/Nabisco items, get $3 off Planters nuts) from Money Saving Mom, and found out there was also a Catalina deal for Planters at Kroger. So I did this:

Eight pkgs. of Kraft Mac & Cheese 77 cents each
Three Planters Honey roasted peanuts $3.19 each
One pkg. Kraft Deli Select singles

I used three of the $3 off Planters q’s and a FREE coupon for the cheese from Sunday’s Parade magazine, and my $3.50 Catalina from the Fruit Roll-Ups deal, and paid a total of $6.23 and got a Catalina for $4 off my next order for buying the Planters!

THEN, I heard about some more great deals from Jamie at Thrifty in the Cincy (all you Dayton-area readers should bookmark her! She has all the local Kroger and Meijer deals!!) So, I took more Planters coupons as well as some others and did THIS:

Eight pkgs. of Kraft Mac & Cheese at 77 cents each
Two Planters Honey Roasted Peanuts $3.19 each
One Planters Cocktail Peanuts $2.99
One pkg. Kraft Deli Select Singles $3.19
Three Lawry’s marinades $1 each
Two Cottonelle 4-pks 99 cents each

I used three of the $3 off Planters q’s
One FREE Kraft cheese coupon from Parade magazine
Three 50 cents off Lawry’s coupons, doubled which made the Lawry’s FREE
Two 25-cents-off Cottonelle coupons, doubled to 50 cents (making them 49 cents!)
My $4 off Catalina from the earlier Planters transaction
I paid a total of $3.61 and got another $4 catalina to use on my next transaction!! I LOVE YOU KROGER!!!

The Planters deal is buy 3, get $4 buy 4, get $5, buy 5, get $6.50…I have some more coupons so I will be going back for this again next week! It ends July 13th. I now have enough Mac & Cheese to last the rest of the year!!

That’s all for my adventures in Krogering For more great money savers, check out Super Savings Saturday at Money Saving Mom!
