Coupon Crazy for Kroger

My Stockpile overall

2011-10-02T21:42:00.000-04:00

This is my last post of the night. Below are a few pictures of what my stockpile looks like that isn't tucked away in my linen closet. My hubby built shelving into a closet upstairs for me to put our personal care items in. And then we purchased shelves at Lowes to house the grocery items.

I hope to be able to add quite a bit of soup since it's getting colder and there have been some good soup coupons recently. It may seem as though I have a lot of certain things, but foodwise I am trying to stock up for about 6 months.

Great oral hygiene

2011-10-02T21:25:00.000-04:00

The next items we have an overabundance of are toothpaste, toothbrushes and floss.

We have in total:
54 tubes of toothpaste = 39 Crest and 15 Colgate
29 packages of Reach Floss
57 toothbrushes

For all of these items I have paid maybe $10 for everything. The toothbrushes were free or $0.18 each, the floss was free, and all of the toothpaste was free minus a couple I paid $0.50 each for.

It will also save us money when we visit the dentist, nothing is as good as hearing "no cavities." :)

We will never stink again

2011-10-02T21:17:00.000-04:00

Deodorant seems to be one item in our house that we are stocked up on for probably the next 5 years or more. I took inventory tonight of our deodorant stockpile, and this is what it looks like.

This is what our deodorant stockpile includes:
16 Degree Men's
16 Old Spice
16 Brut
14 Suave
11 Speedstick Men's
10 Secret
9 Right Guard
4 Sure
3 Ban
1 Speedstick Lady

In total we have 90 deodorants. To say we shouldn't stink for the next few years is the understatement of the month.

PLEASE READ - Updated Kroger Coupon Policy

2011-09-27T18:34:00.000-04:00

I realize I haven't updated in quite a bit, I recently started working full time again, and life is busy needless to say.

But I thought the below was a priority to let everyone know about Kroger's updated coupon policy. Most likely this ONLY affects the Kroger Cincinnati/Dayton/Northern KY division.

There is also a $1.00 off 3 coupon for Mentos Gum in the July 10 SS, which makes them only $0.16 each or $0.50 for 3.

These are located on the candy rack by the checkouts! Make sure to grab yours while it's a sweet deal!!

FREE L.A. Looks Hair Gel

2011-08-24T08:28:00.000-04:00

I'm not sure how many people still use lots of good ol' hair gel, but I figured since it's free I would pass on the savings. :)

L.A. Looks Hair Gel is on sale until September 10 at an awesome price of 10/$10.00. There was a $1.00 off 1 coupon in the July 31 RP, which would make this hair gel completely FREE!

Knowing the Coupon Lingo = saving money

2011-08-16T10:42:00.000-04:00

I've noticed that most couponing websites have their own set of language and acronyms. I've decided to post about the language of saving money.

Various coupon inserts
SS - SmartSource insert
RP - RedPlum insert
GM - General Mills insert
P&G - Proctor & Gamble Insert

Coupon Lingo
BOGO - buy one get one free
B2GO - buy two get one free
CAT - catalina
Closeouts - these are items that are marked down to usually half off that the store will not restock, because they are being discontinued by Kroger or the manufacturer
Ea - Each
ETS - excludes trial size
EX or EXP - expiration date on the coupon
FP - final price
Inserts - these are the paper coupon inserts you find in the Sunday paper
ONYO - on your next order
OOP - out of pocket expense
OOS - out of stock
RC - raincheck
Q - coupon
UPC - universal product code, barcode
WYB - when you buy

If there are any other acronyms you have questions about, feel free to comment below!

Awesome Mega Sale Deals!! (8/15 - 8/28)

2011-08-16T09:57:00.003-04:00

Remember this Mega Sale is one that basically runs from Monday August 15 until Sunday August 28. According to several Kroger store managers, Kroger is testing out a new process where absolutely no tags will be changed on Sunday August 27. So this will be a "true" two week sale!!

Remember with a Mega Sale, when you buy 10 participating items, you get $5.00 off your order. This will show up on your receipt as $0.50 per participating item. There is no limit to the number of Mega Sale items you can purchase. Just remember to always purchase in denominations of 10.

**Always remember to check your binder, envelope or wherever you keep your grocery coupons. You may have coupons that no one else has, which means you will have deals unlike no one else. Kroger often sends out special coupon mailers that are based upon your past purchases, so you will have your own special deals. :)

Happy Krogering!!

It's Sunday - go out and purchase your newspapers!

2011-08-14T14:30:00.001-04:00

Even with the coming of age Internet coupons and eCoupons, you still get the most bang for your buck with purchasing a Sunday paper.

I'm not sure if anyone noticed that last week Sunday papers went from $1.75 each to $2.00 each. Not a "huge" deal considering the savings inside.

This week there is a Smartsource and Redplum insert. You can check out what type of coupons will be in there on The Sunday Coupon Preview.

Happy clipping!!

The Mega Sale is BACK!!

2011-08-13T12:10:00.000-04:00

I can't say it enough, the Kroger Mega Sale is my favorite time to shop.

This Mega Sale will be two full Kroger ad weeks this time, so from Monday August 15 through Sunday August 28. Kroger stores are trying to save on having to change out so many tags on Sunday nights, so we shall see how it all works out.

From now I will use SS for the SmartSource insert and RP for the RedPlum insert. Also any deal price is based upon the fact that all Krogers in Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky double coupons from $0.00 - $0.50 and $0.51 - $0.99 are basically $1.00 coupons.

How many newspapers do you buy?

2011-08-06T22:49:00.001-04:00

When I first started couponing I would only purchase two papers, I justified only needing two because of the cost. However, when adding up the items I have gotten free and the savings for my family, the benefits of additional newspapers greatly outweighs the cost.

There will be 3 inserts in tomorrow's Sunday paper, I am plan on purchasing 6 papers tomorrow. My rule of thumb is if there are 3 or more inserts I purchase 6. If there are only 2 inserts, I purchase my typical 4. Even numbers are great because it makes couponing easier when there is a Buy One Get One Free (BOGO) sale. :)

There will be a Smartsource, RedPlum and a General Mills insert in tomorrow's paper.

Another way to get coupons is to check your Door Stores, there is typically at least one insert rolled up in there. Also your RedPlum mailers that are mailed to your home, check those because there are coupons in there.

How many papers do you typically purchase/subscribe to?

4x Fuel Points on gift cards and pharmacy prescriptions!

2011-08-01T10:40:00.002-04:00

I remember the days when $10 of gas would just about fill up my gas tank. However, those days are long gone. If you're like me you either look into cutting out certain trips or saving on gas whenever possible. Kroger's fuel points is one of the many reasons I continue to shop there.

Kroger is offering two new ways for you to save on gas:

Earn fuel discounts on select gift cards purchased at Kroger.
Earn fuel discounts when you have prescriptions filled in Kroger pharmacies.

Pharmacy:
Pharmacy customers can earn fuel discounts on eligible prescriptions. Save even more when you get a generic drug.

Gift Cards:
If you've been in a Kroger before you notice they have a large selection of gift cards from various retailers, restaurants, sports and other outlets. Purchase gift cards at Kroger and get extra savings on gas.

Excludes: Kroger gift cards, the "Wishes" line of gift cards, Green Dot prepaid reloadable products, MoneyPaks and 1-2-3 REWARDS ^® Visa Prepaid Debit Card and ReCharge Card ™.

One way to get extra fuel points is to know the places you frequent, for instance if you shop at Home Depot quite a bit, purchase a gift card for the amount you have budgeted for Home Depot. And of course they always make great gifts for family members, and you reap the savings on gas!!

This link goes into detail about the fuel points program for the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky area. Based upon the information in the ad, it looks like the additional fuel points program will run from August 1 until September 11.

I love my Coupon Clutch!!

2011-07-29T12:51:00.001-04:00

When I started out couponing a few months ago, I had a zip up binder that I figured would work out just fine. Boy was I wrong! On my grocery trips I was a sight to see, lugging my 25 lb son, a diaper bag and my bulky binder into the store. Then the zipper might get stuck and cause even more frustration while I am trying to get in and out of the store.

A good friend of mine showed me her Coupon Clutch about a year ago, I thought it was too much money for me to spend and I wouldn't need one. Again, I was wrong. :) After a few grocery trips I decided to get something with handles that would make grocery shopping that much easier.

So after going back and forth with the various styles, I decided upon this one.

Here it looks like a normal purse.

Here you can tell it's something a little different because of the Velcro sides showing.

Then once it's down on the table you can tell it's full of savings. :)

I purchased my Coupon Clutch late on a Thursday night and received it Monday morning in the mail. I was so excited to see it, and now am even more excited to use it.

For the Coupon Clutch you are purchasing the fabric cover, which is $29.95 to fit over a 2 inch binder. And there is also a $5.00 off coupon that you can use under "promo code" - Take5. With the current Back to School sales going on everywhere, you can most likely pick up a 2 inch binder for next to nothing. Then you utilize all of your "guts" from your current binder to fill the Coupon Clutch.

Or, if you don't have the "guts" for your coupon binder as of yet, you can purchase every needed at The Loaded Coupon Book. Buying everything as a set seems to be cheaper than going and buying your own, but it's completely your decision.

Feel free to check out the Coupon Clutch and purchase one for yourself or the fellow couponer in your life!

Pampers Catalina - up to $5 off your next order!

2011-07-29T12:24:00.001-04:00

I know there are some that don't use disposable diapers or don't use Pampers for their own reasons. However, I just wanted to let everyone know about this Pampers Catalina that can give you $5 off your next order!

If you purchase $10 or more of Pampers Swaddlers or Cruiser Diapers between July 31 and August 14, you can get up to $5.00 off your next purchase.

The fine print is as follows:
Spend $10 - $24.99 and get a $2.00 Catalina for your next order.
Spend $25.00 or more and get a $5.00 Catalina for your next order.
It specifies that it is a coupon off your next purchase of Pampers Cruisers or Swaddlers.

However, a great way to get this Catalina would be to utilize any and all Pampers coupons you have that expire July 31. Since the Catalina starts July 31, make sure to go out that day and use any Pampers diapers coupons you may have.

I plan on going out that day and utilizing any coupons to get the large $29.99 boxes for cheap with my coupons, then getting $5.00 off my next grocery order!

I am on Facebook

2011-07-28T21:02:00.004-04:00

I decided to start a Facebook page strictly related to my couponing adventures and this blog.

Free Crest Toothpaste + $2 off your next order!

2011-07-26T15:36:00.001-04:00

I know many of you already know that Crest toothpaste is free this week with coupons (see my freebie post HERE). However, there is a way to also make money towards your next order!

Buy $6 of Crest toothpaste and get a $2 Catalina coupon towards your next shopping order. This deal will expire Sunday, July 31.

What is a Catalina? At Kroger they are the “receipt like” coupons that print out AFTER your complete your transaction. Catalinas are based upon the items you purchase, often times it will print off coupons from similar items or give you money off your next order. With this Crest toothpaste deal, you have to purchase $6 of Crest Toothpaste and will get $2 off your next shopping order. You can use the $2 on anything!

Catalina are often triggered based upon the pre-sale price, so it seems to be the case as well in this scenario. The pre-sale price for Crest toothpaste is $2.10 for the “bottom of the barrel” varieties. This means you would only have to purchase 3 in order to get $2 off your next order!

If you have a problem with a CAT or Catalina not printing correctly you can ask the customer service desk or call their toll free number, (877) 210-1917, option 1.
