Kroger deals for the week of 5/18

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.

This ad is based on the Texas/Louisiana market.

**There is a coupon for a $25 gift card with any new or transferred prescription in this week’s ad!

Tuesday Tips: The Power of a Raincheck!

Last week, I wrote a post and asked the question:  Is TLC’s Extreme Couponing ruining it for legit couponers?  Many people responded that their stores were cracking down on coupon usage, but the next biggest complaint was that people are having a hard time finding products because the shelves in their stores are always cleared.

When there’s a hot promotion in my area and I’m unable to find what I’m looking for, I will typically first try to price match at Walmart.  Sometimes I don’t have time to make an extra trip, though, and sometimes my Walmart is out of the items I’m looking for.  \

A raincheck is a great resource if an item you’re looking for is out of stock!  It allows you to “save the price” so to speak when hot sale items are out of stock.

How to request a raincheck:

Talk to the cashier or visit the customer service desk and let them know that you would like a raincheck (at my drug stores, the cashiers can typically issue the rainchecks, but at my grocery stores, I typically have to go to customer service).  Not all stores offer rainchecks, but most of them do, and it never hurts to ask!

Tips:

-If you are asked about the quantity, always get a raincheck for the greatest quantity!

-Once you have your raincheck, cut out the portion of the ad that refers to the item and attach it to your raincheck for future reference.

-Check expiration dates.  Some rainchecks have an expiration date.  Others do not.  If your raincheck has an expiration, date, make sure you use it before it expires!
