Let's Go Krogering! Week of January 4, 2010

Do love finding deals at your Kroger? This feature is for you! Link your post about what deals you found at your local Kroger or Kroger-affiliated store. Simple rules are here; the 149x149 button is in my sidebar. As always, please add a link back to me in your Krogering post.

My Krogering Trip - Monday, January 4, 2010

Spent: $43.21 ($11.34 was the dog food; $31.87 on groceries)
Saved: $61.61, or 59%

Once again, I didn't need too much this week.  I've got quite a bit of meat in my freezer from last week's trip to my local Save-a-Lot and we have quite a stockpile of canned goods and crackers/snacks from all the sales in November and December.

I did want to take advantage of the chance to stock up on more dog food this week for our hound while the P &G promotion continues through Sunday 01/10. Buy $25 worth of participating products, get an instant $5.00 off at checkout. This is a *great* opportunity to stock up on your fave P&G brands.

There are also some good deals on citrus fruit (8 lbs bag of grapefruit for $3.88 = $0.48/lb) and a nice little catalina on Kroger Fresh Selections Salad bags  (buy any 2, get a $1.00 OYNO catalina).  And I found some 1/2 gallons of milk marked down to $0.59 for quick sale; we drink through milk SO fast around here that these are always a great deal for us.

For a full list of all the current catalina deals at Kroger, click here.  I'll update it as I find more; if you know of any, please leave a comment with details for the rest of us.  ;-)

Coupons used:

Rx Transfer Coupon: Transfer your Rx, get a $20.00 credit on your Kroger Card
This was in a mailed Red Plum/Kroger 2 page circular that I received on 12/30/09.  There are several other coupons in this little circular, mostly for vitamins and health products (think New Year's Resolution-type items).  If you live in my area (greater Cincinnati) and you still have this circular or haven't gone through your mail, be sure to clip this and use it!  I refilled one of my son's asthma meds on 12/31 before our health care plan changed and saved myself big $$ on both the meds and with the $20 credit.  Woot!
