Kroger deals for the week of 9/8

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!

This ad is based on the Texas/Louisiana market. My Kroger stores double three “like” coupons with a face value up to $.50 and triple three “like” coupons with a face value up to $.39. Your market may be different. Check with your store for details!

This week, Kroger is advertising a “Cartbuster” Savings event, which basically means they have lowered some of their prices.  There is also a Cartbuster instant win game here, where you can play to win prizes!   Many of the items in this week’s ad are P&G (Procter & Gamble) items, so if you buy them, make sure you save your receipt.  When you purchase $50 in P&G products, you can submit your receipts for a coupon book with $110 in coupons (your “spending” is based on your pre-coupon total).
