Wow-what a FUN trip! I was able to stock up on: canned milk, soup, and pasta and pay nothing for it all. I am so grateful for Kroger, coupons, and Mega Events!
I went to Kroger to look for the $1/1 Garden Delight tearpad found a few (there was only about 10 left) and decided to make a great trip out of it. I normally don’t decided to shop last minute without a plan but I couldn’t help myself knowing I was going to get a steal of a deal!
I wasn’t expecting the $1.50 e-coupon to come off so I added two Kit Kat bars $1.00 so I could use my $5/$50 coupon. I had overage from the Campbell’s soup, pasta, and Propel so I didn’t know to the cent how much I would pay.
When the cashier finished scanning all of the coupons my total was only $0.45! I got home and looked in detail at the receipt, my cashier (she was new to Kroger) had taken my raincheck and knocked off $2.00 instead of charging me $2.00. So my total should have been $2.45, but hey I’m not complaining!

WOW!!!
you are my hero!
sooo…what are you going to to with all that canned milk?
WOW…nice job! I am wishing that I had a Kroger…:)
Jenny,
I use canned milk to bake with, to make sauces (I make my own Fettucini and Pasta Primavera sauce), and to make Oatmeal in the mornings. Plus it's a great food storage item!
Which Kroger do you shop at ?
the kroger at goodman rd/getwell rd in southaven(at snowden grove) recently told me that they will not double coupons that say "do not double" at the top. they always have before. very discouraging. the one in hernando, Ms also says the same thing. have you or anyone else had problems with this?
Thanks for posting! The pic is awesome! One of the nestle milk links takes me to blogger.com. Is that right??
I shop at the Olive Branch Kroger.
I had a Schnucks tell me that they wouldn't double the "no double" coupons either. This is NOT their policy-it clearly states that they double coupons. Keep in mind that the double coupon is a Kroger store coupon and has nothing to do with the manufacturer. When this happened to me at Schnucks I explained this and she went and got "The Manager" who said it was fine to allow them. Stand your ground and do what you can-I would also call corporate and tell them what's happening.
Wendi-
You are Welcome. The Nestle milk coupon link has now been fixed! The link is takes you to the Nestle Family site. So you'll need to sign up in order to print, if you're already signed up check your inbox. There should be a link to print coupons from Nestle Family.
I think i may try Olive Branch tomorrow, the two i usually shop at never take my cell fire coupons off and i never get the overage. seems like it rounds it off to the price of the item. Thanks!
Great job! I am always amazed at what coupons can do!
does this mega event last 2 weeks or is it over this Tues 11/9? thanks
This Mega Event runs through November 16th if your store runs the Wednesday through Tuesday ad.
Awesome trip! My husband loves Carnation in his coffee, so he'd be in heaven to see this! Alas, no Kroger here, so we'll make do!
