Kroger Mega Trip 2

This was before triples. I think I was so excited about triples that I forgot to post. I was glad to use my Surf coupons for some free detergent.

Publix: It Pays To Have A Rain Check!

A good reason to like rain checks! I took advantage of the $4 General Mills product coupon. I had a rain check for the Pillsbury cinnamon and crescents rolls from the sale a couple of weeks ago at $1 a can. With additional coupons, they were free plus overage.

Other free or almost free items: Publix Peanut Butter (penny item) Publix Apple Juice and Tuna Helper (free with HG Hill competitor coupon).

Loaded my coupon envelope with great coupons to help lower the cost of the big box of diapers: $5/25 Rite Aid, $5/25 Target baby product coupon, $2 Huggies coupon , and $1 Johnson and Johnson products coupon. Will send off for the free bath toy from Johnson & Johnson.

Target Toy Deals!

With all the buzz about Kroger Triples this week, I have to take a brief hiatus to talk about some great toys deals I scored at Target and you can too!

Did you know they will price match? I initially thought that the Tag Reading system was $49.99 at Target, so I brought the Toys-R-Us ad with me to the customer service deck. They said no problem. Just bring your purchase up to the customer service desk to check out. The rep did ask if the Toys-R-Us price was with a coupon or ad, so apparently they will not honor the competitor price if it is with coupon. Some Targets are equipped to do price matches at the register. You will want to check with customer service desk first. Also, some Target stores will not do a price match and let you use a coupon too.

You can find a list of all current Target coupons at Hot Coupon World and print individually.

I purchased the following:

Leap Frog Tag system $39.99
Used the $10/1 coupon from here
Used the $10 Target coupon
Final cost $19.99 plus!


Nintendo Wii games on sale buy 2 get 1 free (prices start at $14.99) This sale is good until Saturday only.
I purchased two games at $19.99 each and received one free. I didn't see a single game for $14.99.
Used the Target $10/2 Wii games coupon
Final cost was $10 per game plus tax!
.

Fisher Price Little People Discovery Airport $39.99
Used the $20/1 Target coupon
Final cost $19.99 plus tax!

No pics as the toys had to be hidden quickly. Check out Hip2Save for more Target deals!

Kroger Triples OH MY!

First let me pause for a moment and say OH MY! I have never seen my Kroger so busy. It was like black Friday. It was not a terribly fun trip, but I made the best of it. My three year old decided he does not want to sit in the cart. This is a must otherwise he will run through the store. So I started out my trip in with the battle of wills in the parking lot with me winning this round. This resulted in lot of tears (his, not mine), but I figured ( hoped, prayed, crossed my fingers) he would stop by the time we got to the bakery for his free cookie. He did.

This is the part where I say OH MY! again. It was a sea of gray and steel trying to get o the bakery. It was SENIOR DAY at Kroger and the deli/bakery was full of parked carts from seniors while they art their free lunch and shopped.

When I finally make to an aisle, my boy dropped his cookie inspiring more tears so off we went to the bakery again. The store was so packed with coupon shoppers and Seniors. Many aisles were bumper to bumper and patrons had to wait in line to go down the aisles. It cleared out some by the time I made it to the register. The cashier was so nice and one of the quickest checkers I've seen. Go Stephen!

I had a small list and a few items were already wiped out. I was still able to use about 15 coupons. Now on to the totals. I was glad to get out of the store before our trip inspired more tears (mine, not his).
