I am so excited that I not only met my goal of saving 70% at the Fry’s (Kroger) Mega Sales Event, I EXCEEDED it! As many of you know, I was given a $30 Kroger gift card from General Mills, PepsiCo, and MyBlogSpark and challenged to see how much I could save during this promotion.
The goal I set for myself was to save at least 70% since I normally save around 65%, but the sale was just so good! I bought 51 items, so I won’t list them all (and you can see them in the picture above), but make sure you check out my Fry’s Weekly Deals post to find all the coupon match-ups.
I saved $107.61 and spent only $29.15 (I was under the $30!) This was such a blessing since our stockpile was running a little low. I was even able to purchase a few items, like canned vegetables and Pepsi, that I didn’t have coupons for, but were part of the Mega Sales Event.
There were a few unadvertised deals in the Mega Sales Event that I want to let you know about:
Hamburger Helper, selected varieties, only $.45!
-$.75/3 (8/9 SS)
=$.12 each after coupon
Yoplait Delights $1.45 (clearanced, so it may depend on your store)
-$1.25/1 printable
=$.20 each after coupon!
Chex Mix Bars $1.88
-$.60/1 printable (coupons.com)
=$.88 each after coupon
UPDATE: I forgot to add that when you buy 3 Betty Crocker fruit snacks you’ll get a $1.50 catalina, Buy 5 or more and you get $3.50. (Thanks, A Cheap Chick!)
