I Survived Kroger Super Doubles!

Good Morning Everyone!

I have finally recouped from Kroger's Super Doubles Saturday. What a great adventure I had. As you know from my previous post, I did a lot of prep work and it really paid off. My daughter and I showed up at Kroger around 11:00 a.m. I wasn't expecting to find a lot of the stuff that I wanted. Because as we all know, a lot of people showed up at the 24 hour stores at midnight or a little before. Anyway, my store was full of people and the shelves were being restocked as fast as the great employees at Kroger could stock them. It was all hands on deck, from cashiers to managers. Everyone was polite and helpful. I sure hope that all these employees know how much we appreciate them. Next time your in Kroger's make sure you tell them if you were there. Remember my motto is to "Pay it Forward." We took just over 2 hours to finish shopping and checkout. The lines moved fast and I was grateful and starving. I forgot to eat(Gasp) before going shopping. Luckily we were only shopping for items that I had coupons for...no impulse buys today.

All in all, I'd say we did pretty well. We purchased 123 items for $94 and some change. Many of the items I purchased were over a dollar. However, I didn't mind because I normally pay 3 to 4 dollars for most of these items. Here's a list of a few of those items.

Batteries
Parchment Paper
Flat Bread Melts
Odewalla Juice
Large can of Enchilada sauce
Assorted Cereal Bars
Organic Frozen Peas
Chips
Shampoo
Shaving Gel

I will also be sending off for the Kellogg's Fuel For School $10 rebate. You can go here to find out more about that.

After this week, I am so well stocked that I should only have to buy milk, some fresh fish, and fruits and veggies.

I'd like to say, "Thanks" once again to all the employee's of the Kroger located at 2920 and Kuykendahl.

As always, remember to "Pay it Forward."

Getting Ready For Kroger Super Doubles!

I have been M.I.A. for the past few days because of Super Double Manufacturer's Coupons at Kroger in the Texas and Louisiana markets. To prepare for this sale, I have gone through all my coupons and pulled high values that don't normally double(55cent to $1). While I was pulling these coupons I checked expiration dates and pulled all expired coupons. This helps keep my file more manageable. I have also printed all printable coupons available at these sites and loaded all ecoupons to my Kroger card. Using a combo of these two types of coupons should provide huge savings. You can go here for a list of all these sites.

I have gone to Kroger a couple of times this week to pick up milk and fresh produce. While I was there, I checked prices for some of the things that I have coupons for. I have also checked the google document that ZM has put together on HCW to see what's going to be free or very cheap during this sale. Everyone here in Texas is really excited about this sale. We haven't had doubles up to and including $1 in a very long time. They are limiting coupons to one like. I'm hoping the sale lives up to all the hype, all of us have been giving it.

If you live here in the Spring area, I hope to see you all having fun. Remember to pack your patience since the checkers are likely to get frustrated with all the coupons. Also, be prepared to wait lines will be long. My hope is that Kroger is as prepared as all of us.

Happy Bargain Hunting!!

And remember, "Pay it Forward."
