This one runs for two weeks, through 7/28 and as always has many items! The money maker is the Speed Stick deodorant which is $1.49 before the $5 off 10 item promo. With the $1.50 printable Q found here (use zip code 33907), each deodorant is a $.50 money maker! I always use this overage to buy items that I never have coupons for. Here's what I got:

(prices are BEFORE $5 discount)
12 tempation cat treats $1.49 each - $1MQ OR $.50Q that doubled = FREE
7 speed stick $1.49 - $1.50 MQ = overage!
1 breyers ice cream $2.99
1 muffins $2.99
1lb grapes $1.59
- $10 for mega discount
= $3.38 BUT I got a surprise of $2 in catalina ONYO coupons from the cat treats!

bounty-ful deal

Posted on 7/14/2009 3:51:41 PM  •  Comments (1)  •  Full story

Kroger has Bounty single paper towels on 10 for $10 thru today. There are $.25 Qs out from the past P&G that will triple to $.75. Since my stores only do 3 per transaction, this was 10 transactions.

Total OOP= $8 for 30 rolls of PT
Not free, but cheap enough to stock up on for a while!

kroger's daytona deal

So it's not the same as the Mega Deal from the past two weeks- different items and different prices- buy 10 items, get $3 off. Here's the best scenario I came up with for today (prices AFTER $3 discount):

 

5 Betty Crocker fruit snacks - $1.49 each - 3 ($.50/1MQ doubled) - 1 ($.50/2 MQ doubled) = $3.45
3 Pizza Roll 15ct- $.95 each - 3 ($.35/1 MQ tripled)= -$.30 ! (used shortcuts Q for another 50 cents off)
2 Grands $97 each - 2 ($.40/1 MQ doubled)= $.34

Total OOP=$2.97 and I got a cat for $3.50 onyo from the betty crocker (5+ )

No joke! With the Kroger Catalina deal for the gel warmers, (buy 1 for $1.79 get a $2 off your next purchase Catalina) and the b1g1 coupon from inserts and coupons.com, I have been all over the city getting these things!

I finally used my last coupon today too. I was worried I wouldn't find anymore but found a store with over 20 in stock.













 

I will update with totals soon. its late and i'm tired! lol

i am pretty sure i have spent under 15 bucks to get all this and hundreds back in catalinas!

Almost two weeks into this Mega Deal sale, I finally got in on the action today! Here's what I got so far. Unfortunately all but one store had no Ricola mixed berry, and the coupon expired today, so I missed out on that overage :(



The above was from tonight, but earlier in the day I had gone to another Kroger and got the following:


 

40 Kleenex $.99 each - $.50/3 doubled - 4 b3g1 Qs(tearpad) =11.82
40 Bumblebee Tuna $.50 each - $.55 MQ = overage of $1.1
2 Quaker Granola Bars $1.49 - $.75/2 = $2.23
16 Carnation Milk $.50 each - $.50/2 doubled = FREE
16 Rolaids $1.19 each - $4/2 (for major overage!) = $-12.96
2 Simply Orange $2.49 each
2 Krusteaz $2.50 each -$.50/1 doubled = $3
12 ricola $.50 each -b1g1 (overage that deducts $2.19 each)
3 Snuggle $1.99 ($3 MQ 104RP) = FREE
1 Pepperidge Farm Crackers (try me FREE peelie) $2.49
1 odwalla bar (filler not to go negative) $1
= 135 items

Non mega deal items
2 Sara Lee (tearpad of buy bread, get mini bagels) $1.99
ground beef

= $13.63 TOTAL OOP, get back $1 cat for Krusteaz and $2.49 for Mail in Rebate on the Pepperidge farm crackers, sooo.... $10.14 for 138 items.... NOT BAD!

10lb bag of sugar - $4.79 (BF's present for brewing his own beer)
2 Glade Wisp - $8.99 - b1g1 MQ - $5 MQ = $3.99 (plus get back $8 in Cats)
Pyrex cup - $3.99
1 bottle of POM tea - $2.50 (already gone- not in pic)
2 Trident Splash $.50 each - $.55 MQ x 2 = FREE

used $14 in catalinas, paid 96 cents OOP and got back $8 in catalinas

about me

I love a good deal just a little bit more than the next person. ;) I spend my spare time collecting coupons and finding where I can get my stuff for next to nothing. Couponing has become more than just a hobby- it is an all out addiction- running to stores 5 times a week, or at midnight just to get a great deal. Feel free to ask questions if you see a deal you are interested in!
