It’s Bloggy Giveaway time again! Woo-hoo!! This time we are giving you the chance to win a $25 Kroger gift card courtesy of the NEW Kroger.com! Kroger has recently re-vamped their website and it is great! I’ve used it in the past and I really like the new features a lot, so I want to highlight a few of them for you. Since I’ve recently become a crazy couponer, I am using store websites more than ever to carefully plan my trips and deals. Kroger.com has some great tools to help with that. If you create an account in the “My Kroger” section, you can indicate your preferred store. Then you can look at the weekly ad online, and add specials from the sale paper directly to your shopping list, which Kroger.com saves for you! This feature was so convenient. I just clicked on the item in the ad that I was interested in, and a larger picture of the item and sale details appeared. Then I just clicked “add to list” and it appeared on my shopping list at the left margin of the screen! The list stayed there even when I went on to look at other items. Very cool! You can also print the list when you are done and take it right to the store with you!
Another feature I really like is the ability to print coupons! If you click on the “In Store” section, you can click on “coupons” and it will take you to Kroger-applicable coupons on Coupons.com, which you can then select and print. You can also load coupons from Procter & Gamble products such as Pampers, Tide, and Pantene directly to your Kroger Plus card online! I LOVE this feature, because these e-coupons can be combined with paper coupons in-store. Let’s say you have a P&G e-coupon on your Kroger Plus card for 50 cents off of Tide. If you have a paper coupon for Tide from the newspaper for $1 off, you can use both and get $1.50 off! Pretty cool!
Kroger.com also offers some other great convenience features perfect for busy moms. You can refill your rescriptions online, upload digital photos to the Kroger photo center, and even order flowers and have them delivered from the Kroger Floral department! Talk about a one-stop-shop!
The last feature I would like to mention is that there are lots of great recipes featured on Kroger.com that have been tested by the Kroger chefs. If you see one you like, you can just click and have all the ingredients loaded to your shopping list! You don’t have to write the ingredients down or make a separate list. Again, what a great, convenient time-saver!

This is Emily now… I just had to jump in and tell you how much I came to love Kroger.com this weekend! Like Jenny mentioned, you can go through the weekly ad and make your grocery list very easily. I also used the “add note” feature to put everything else I needed to get on there, so that my list was complete. It was great to do this at my computer because I could flip over and look for recipes or coupons or whatever.
The whole process led me to planning out my grocery list much more than I usually do… which also means I was throwing much less random crap into my cart when I was actually at the store. Since I was choosing sale items from the ad, I ended up only spending $82 and I saved $30! I also ended up with more “complete meals” than I would have if I was going off the cuff.
Kroger.com rocks!

We don’t actually have a local Kroger, but we do shop at one at least once a year. We take a family trip to Ohio almost every August. I have to say that I actually love the people there. They are always so helpful and not just with our shopping needs. As soon as we start telling people that we’re not locals, most of the people we encounter who work at Kroger will start telling us all the insider info… where to eat, where to avoid, special places to see. It makes the trip that much easer!
Enter me in your giveaway, please!
Kroger’s have a much larger variety! Lots of things you can’t get at the smaller mom and pop stores!
Our Kroger does double coupons, AND the Grocery Game has a list available for Kroger in my area. That adds up to SAVINGS!! 🙂
Thanks,
Mae
I love Kroger….there is one right by my schoola and I stop there on the way home many times a week! THanks for the card!
Kroger (actually, Frys, which is under the Kroger “umbrella”) is the closest grocery store to us so this $25 gift card would definitely come in handy!
I like the double coupons, and the 10 for $10 deals!
I like how they double coupons up to a dollar.
I like the layout of their store. Thanks!
I get amazing deals at Krogers! I’ve been working it and can usually get at least 40% off my total every time I shop. I’m still trying to hit that 50% or more threshold though.
Double my coupons. Wonderful store layout. Good prices. What more could you want?
I like shopping at Kroger because of the Kroger Plus cards.
I don’t get to shop at Kroger often but try to get by there often enough to get some specialty items and healthier options that my regular store doesn’t have. Bob’s Red Mill meusli is one example.
love krogers

What a wonderful giveaway! Please include me!
We don’t actually have Kroger here, but we have a chain owned by Kroger. Smith’s is our favorite grocery store just for the great prices and variety. It doesn’t hurt that it is walking distance either. I have used a Kroger gift card there before so I even know it will work! 🙂
I love Kroger, it always has the best produce!
Kroger is awesome!
Kroger’s is convenient to my house and carries everything I want except pickled bologna!
I love Kroger and have been shopping there for about 10 years, but the majority of my shopping there started about a year ago when I got tired of crappy customer service at the other stores in my area. Go Kroger Westerville! 🙂
I love shopping at Kroger because I can always get what I want quickly!
It’s so close to home for me!!!
I like Kroger because the fruits and veggies are so fresh and so appetizing to see when you walk in the door!
Because it’s close to home and always has the best prices. So we save gas and money!
Oh, I love to shop at Krogers! I can always find what I need, and get out as quickly as possible! Thanks so much!

I love Kroger because their food is always fresher than the other local stores and they have MUCH better deals. Yay!
I love to shop at Kroger because of the familiarity of the store in general. Their layouts are pretty good in terms of knowing where to go to get stuff. And, of course, the new esaver from P&G makes it even better to score major coupon deals!
I’m from a non-Kroger state (Oklahoma) and haven’t tried out the Kroger here in Raleigh yet…but I hear good things! And with a gift card, I’d be even more excited to try it out. =)
I will shop at Kroger only because of the nice bagger boys who will carry out my groceries for me on sunny or rainy days, early mornings or late nights. That is worth it to me! You just don’t find that kind of service anymore. Ouch, I sound ancient there, I’m only 33! Thanks for the give away!
It’s only a mile from my house, good deals with the card, they double coupons, cheapest gas prices.
I love to stock up at Kroger when they have Kroger brands on sale, and when they have their frozen foods sales. Some of the other stores own brands aren’t so good, but I almost always like Kroger brand foods.
I love shopping at Kroger because they are SO much cheaper than Farm Fresh, which is closer, and they are open LATE. Thanks!
I love their double and triple coupons!! What a GREAT giveaway!! Thanks for the chance to win!!

They always have my Vitamin water on sale and are the only place that sells the Brelaxed that is my absolute favorite.

I love Kroger because they are the ONLY place within 45 miles that has the coinstar machine.
I love Kroger, because they have the freshest produce around. Because I am making my own baby food, this is important to me as a mother.
I love my Kroger, great produce! Count me in!
My daughter loves their tiny shopping carts. I love their sales. Thanks for a great giveaway and for all their website info. I will definitely be going there to check it out.
I’ve never shopped at Kroger, so this will be my first time 😀
Oooooo (hand waving furiously in air)…sign me up puhleeze!
I shop at Krogers because the stores are well organized, bright, clean and the prices are great. My kids always insist on going with me too so they can push the kiddie sized buggies!
It’s close and their fruits and veggies are so fresh! Count me in!
The bakery. Need I say more? hehe Thanks
They have a wonderful selection of products and fresh produce.
It’s close to my school
I love shopping at Krogers mainly because they always have those sales going on with their meat . Especially the Tyson chicken ! Thts what I would buy with this $25 gift card . Thanks so much !
I love their meat. It is always fresh! What a wonderful giveaway. Please count me in and thanks for giving us the chance to win. :o)
I have never shopped at Kroger but would love the chance to win this and find out all about Kroger and give it a try.
I like shopping at Kroger because it means I am not giving in and supporting community and family destroying Walmart. I also used to work there for two years.

We don’t have a Kroger, but we have a Smith’s that is a Kroger store. I adore shopping there for their natural food selection and bulk foods section. It is such a great store and this would help our grocery budget a lot!!! Sure beats going to Wal-mart for our shopping!
