I know these match-ups have been a long time coming this week. It has been a crazy week at work and my youngest also has had H1N1. So, this has been a work in progress over the past few days. Scenarios will follow soon.

This is awesome to pair with this deal here:

(originally found on SD/thanks Jane!)
Click here to enter their instant win game (you do have to register). Enter code A23568.

You will receive a link to a .50 off ANY ground beef purchase coupon. The coupon is a PDF. If you select a store name, it prints the store name in big print on the right side of the coupon. But, if you select “Other”, regardless of what you type in the box, the coupon will not include the name of any store.

The coupon says “do not double” but it starts with a 5 and from my experience, the register automatically doubles those coupons at Kroger, so you can get one pound of ground chuck for .69!
