Melissas Bargains

I thought maybe I’d take a break from Kroger after the Mega Sale. I lost track of the number of items I ended up with over two weeks, but I think it was close to 100.

I just looked at the ad for this week and it’s great, too! There are lots of deals and it’s a great time to stock up on several items.

Here are some of the highlights:

FREE FROZEN VEGETABLES!
Kroger, Bird’s Eye Steamfresh, and Green Giant boxed veggies are all 10/$10
I did this deal last year and was counting on it happening again, so I stocked up on coupons as they came out. There are .35/1 Bird’s Eye coupons that came out in the 10/12 SS insert and .50/2 Green Giant boxed vegetables that came out in the 10/5 GM insert. These coupons double and triple giving you free or almost free veggies.

*You can load coupons for the Green Giant vegetables to your card on Shortcuts.com and there are printable coupons on Pillsbury.com, Bettycrocker.com, and Eatbetteramerica.com

Cheap stuffing
Stovetop stuffing is on sale 10/$10 (you don’t need to buy 10). There are buy 4, get one free tear pads in many stores. There are plenty of recipes that you can use stuffing in or with even after Thanksgiving.

Cheap batteries
If you haven’t done the CVS deal yet (or you just need more batteries), Duracell batteries are 10/$10. There are .75/1 coupons and .50/1 peelie coupons, so your batteries will be free or close to it.
