If you’ve been reading this blog for awhile, you know I loooves me some Kroger. With their promotions and unlimited double coupons, I always save a bunch. So of course I was ever-so-pleased when MyBlogSpark and Kroger e-mailed me to challenge me to see how well I could do at the Kroger Mega Event sale, which runs from August 16-September 2nd. They gave me a $30 Kroger gift card from General Mills and PepsiCo to work with, too! Woohoo! Tonight I went shopping, and even though I had to take BOTH my children with me (thank you Lord for the race car carts – I would never get Sophie and my sanity through a grocery run without one) I did quite well! For ALL of our weekly groceries, I spent $47.62. Here are the Mega-Event sale items I got. When you buy 10 items, you get $5 off your order!

I had coupons for ALL these items so I saved even more! Before the $5 off and my coupons, these items alone would have cost me $20.40. After the $5 off and my coupons, these 10 items cost me $9 even. Woohoo! That is a HUGE savings! (You can see this post at MommySnacks for coupon match-ups for our area.) And they are all things my family regularly eats and uses. We take brownies to our house church meeting every Sunday, so I go through a lot of brownie mixes, and I am partial to Betty Crocker! Peanut Butter Captain Crunch is my husband’s favorite. My kids love Betty Crocker fruit snacks, and we all love Fiber One bars. So this mega-event was an AWESOME one for us!

Here are the brands with participating items in the Mega-Event:

AMP Energy, Aquafina, Betty Crocker Baking Mixes, Betty Crocker Fruit Snacks, Cascadian Farms Cereals and Bars, Cap’n Crunch, Cheerios, Cheetos, Chex Mix, Cinnamon Toast Crunch, Cocoa Puffs, Dole Juices and Juice Drinks, Fiber One, Fritos, Gatorade, Golden Grahams, Green Giant, Hamburger Helper, Life , Lipton Tea, Nature Valley, Old El Paso, Pepsi family of 2 Liters, Pillsbury, Progresso, Propel, Quaker Instant Oatmeal, Quaker Chewy Bars, Starbucks, Sobe Life Water, Totino’s, Trix, Tropicana, Yoplait and MORE!

All the stores in the Kroger family of stores are having this Mega-Event through September 2nd. So make sure and check your store circular or website to see what’s on sale in your area!
