The Kroger Mega sale is ON!


If you haven’t really shopped much at Kroger before, this week is a great week to shop. During the Mega Sale, you get an instant $5 off when you purchase 10 participating items. You can do this up to three times (so 30 items) per transaction. You can really see your savings add up quickly!

Please keep in mind that these sale prices are for my area and YMMV so you may want to check out your store’s ad on Kroger.com. I have looked at a number of different bargain blogs and it appears that the same promotional items are working in different areas, but the prices do vary some.

I am going to post the ACTUAL price of items rather than the price at .50 off. I hope that this does not confuse anyone. I know for me, it is less confusing to do it that way as I make my scenarios. You CAN mix and match items. You DO have to purchase ten items to get the instant $5 off.

Great bargains at The Children’s Place Monster Sale

The Children’s Place is having their Monster Sale online right now. You get an extra 50% off already clearanced items. You can get an additional 15% off when you shop through Ebates and use code SA19 at check-out. You will also get an additional 3% cash back when you shop through Ebates.

At this time of year, I always like to stock up on clothing the next size up (or possibly bigger) for my kids. My kids are old enough that I can pretty much predict what size they will be in based on their previous growth patterns.

There are some great deals. I got several t-shirts for my son for $2.12 each after the 15% off and several t-shirts for my daughter for $2.54-$2.97. I also got cute girls cords for $4.24 after the discount and cute boys cords for $6.54 after the discount.

If you haven’t checked it out already, you should! There are plenty of bargains!
