Kroger deals for the week of 5/25


I’ve added a new feature!  If you see a ? next to the final price on an item, that means it’s a “stock up” price or rock bottom price in my opinion!  One of the most common things I hear from “new” couponers is that they don’t know what’s a good deal, so I hope this will help!

Just a reminder:  Kroger’s coupon policy changed on 4/13!  You can read the full updated coupon policy here (I recommend printing it to take with you!)  You can find more about changes to the Kroger double/triple coupon policy here.  The two biggest changes are that they will no longer allow you to “stack” paper manufacturer’s coupons with loadable coupons and they will no longer double/triple coupons.  From what I understand, the registers are now programmed to deduct your digital coupon first, when applicable. I have heard from multiple people that there are glitches with this new program and even when you are buying multiple items and should be able to use a digital and manufacturer’s coupon, the register will not allow it.  Kroger has made some changes to their fuel rewards program:  you can read more about that here.

Don’t forget to load your coupons to your Kroger card:
Cellfire
Kroger
P&G Esaver
Shortcuts
Upromise

**For more information about loadable coupons and how they work check out this post! Digital (loadable) coupons do not double and are one time use.

Tuesday Tips: What is “stacking” and “overage”?

If you’re new to using coupons, you may be confused by terms such as “stacking” and “overage” that more seasoned couponers throw out!

Stacking refers to using a store coupon and a manufacturer’s coupon together for greater savings! Although you can only use one manufacturer’s coupon per item, some stores also have special store coupons and they will allow you to use their store coupons with a manufacturer’s coupon!

The stores that come to mind that offer special store coupons include:  Publix, Safeway, Target, and Walgreens.  You can find the Target coupons online (visit their website and scroll down to the bottom of the page where there is a link that says “Coupon”) and they also sometimes send out special mailers.  Safeway has “super coupons” that are considered store coupons in their weekly ads.  Walgreens typically has store coupons in their weekly ad.  They also have a monthly coupon book that is usually found at the front of the store in the same area where the weekly ads are kept.  In addition, they often have additional specialized coupon books.  An example is the Infant Care booklet that is out currently.

PLEASE NOTE: There may be other stores that provide store coupons and allow stacking.  These are just the stores that I am familiar with!

Overage means that your coupon (or combination of store and manufacturer’s coupons) is more than the amount of the items that you are purchasing. Some stores will allow you to get cash back in these situations!  Walmart is the store that I can think of off the top of my head.  This is rare right now.  Most stores will adjust the amount of the coupon down to the amount of the item being purchased.  For example, if you are purchasing an item that is $.97 and you use a $1 coupon, they would adjust the amount of the coupon down to $.97.

In some cases, stores will not give you cash back, but you can apply the “overage” to other items in your cart.  This is especially true if you are combining store and manufacturer’s coupons.  If you are combining store and manufacturer’s coupons in a situation that would result in overage, make sure you are purchasing other items to “cover” the overage.  Also, always make sure that you give the manufacturer’s coupon first and the store coupon last.

For example, let’s say that Walgreens has Colgate toothpaste on sale for $1.97 and they have a $1 store coupon in their monthly coupon book and you also have a $1 manufacturer’s coupon.

Here’s the breakdown of how this would work:

Buy Colgate toothpaste – $1.97

Use $1 manufacturer’s coupon (give this first!)
Use $1 Walgreens coupon (give this last!)

Final Price = $.03 overage (This will only “work” if you have other items you are purchasing to “cover” the overage!  If you aren’t buying other items, the coupons would beep and they would adjust the price down)
