kroger-logo The Kroger Co. Family of Stores (including Fry’s in AZ) have some amazing deals in their Mega Savings Event from August 16th- September 2. To see a list of participating stores (huge list!) go Here.

During this sales event, when you buy 10 participating products, you’ll get $5 off instantly at check out. There is no limit to the number of rewards per transaction, so you can save as much as you want!

What makes these deals even better is pairing the sale with coupons, so make sure you check out my Fry’s coupon match-ups. For Kroger specific match-ups, check out Coupon Mommie, who also has a $30 giveaway (ending 8/19).

Participating products in the Mega Savings Event include: 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!

The only thing that could make this deal better is a FREE gift card! Thanks to General Mills, PepsiCo, and MyBlogSpark I was sent a $30 Kroger gift card to see what kind of savings I could come up with. UPDATE: I saved 79% on my trip, spending $29.15 and saving $107.61! If I can do it, so can you!

    My Kroger doubles $1 coupons, so my track record has been $200 groceries, averaging about $30-$40 after coupons. With this sale, if I could hit the $29.99 mark, that would make a 75% savings. YAY!

  • Kathy Rambousek

    I am trying to budget about $60/week for our family of four. I usually save at least 50% after coupons, so a $30 g/c would go a long ways.
