Since I am a kroger shopper as well, I will let you know that they have really cracked down on couponing. I haven’t read the book you have but I thought it would be worth mentioning so that your run to kroger doesnt go as mine did. At least at my location, you cannot combine internet and manufacturer’s coupons on one item. That eliminated a lot of my glorious ideas. Also digital coupons do not double. Manufacturer’s do double up to $1.00. You are limited to 4 like coupons as well. This is a new policy. Once I researched it and also looked online, I realized that they have pretty much eliminated the ability to get items for free. You can save money, but the large hauls we all saw on extreme couponing were not realistic and did not follow the current coupon guidelines. Now, I legit saved $56 off my total bill with the use of coupons and utilizing 10 for $10 deals to build my toiletry stockpile, so coupons are good, just not “TV good”. My first try was to do the crest 50 cent off coupons that when doubled would be $1 off and I did this during the 10 for $10 crest time. I thought it would be awesome and free. They didnt allow it. Just don’t think it will be like TV. It is kind of disappointing at first, but it is still way better with coupons than without. ALSO, if you have a kroger gas station, you can save so much money at the pump by redeeming your points. I redeemed 500 kroger points and got 50 CENTS off per gallon. Since when could you get gas for $2.85 per gallon? Kroger is a great place to save money.

At work I asked my coworkers if they would be willing to bring in any coupons that they dont need and now we have a huge pile of them to trade. SO, even if you can’t do it the TV way, you can find your own way and do the 10 for 10 deals, buy 4 of one type of item at a time with 4 like manuafacturer’s coupons, etc. Hope this is helpful. I mean it to be…not to take away excitement.

I am a regular Kroger shopper, and I’m also a Kroger cashier. My advice is to print off the coupon policy (there’s a link for it here on KCL) and bring it with you. But like Tara said, most Kroger locations double coupons up to a 50 cent face value. Also like Tara said: a lot of people do try to use a manufacturer’s coupon in conjunction with a digital coupon, but Kroger won’t let you do that. You can, however, use a manufacturer’s coupon alongside a Kroger coupon (the ones they send you in the mail.) But remember, cashiers are shoppers too! They don’t mind coupons. Even if you have trouble with them, it’s not a big deal. It’s always worth a shot if you’re not sure.

Just wondering how you did.

It depends on your Kroger. Some have certain Kellogg’s cereal included while others have different brands! Check with your local Kroger just to make sure.

My bet is that it’s a marketing ploy to get you to buy more product I was pretty confused about that sort of thing myself when I first started, so hang in there, it gets easier

Here’s the beauty of the 10 for $10 sale, you don’t have to buy 10 items to get each one for $1.00. You can buy 1 product and still get the $1.00 price. I hope that helps.

What a sweet deal Thanks for sharing!

I always did in the past.

Try this Newspaper coupon $0.30/3 Kleenex Boxes, 50 ct or larger or (1) Bundle Pack, excludes trial size from SS 11/4 (exp 12/2). Hope that helps!

The Carnation coupon is for two items per coupon, so if you only buy three you will not pay $0.19 for each one. you would need to buy the Evaporated Milk in increments of two you will get the $0.19 price on each can.

Megan, I also noticed the restrictions on the cheaper Crest. So I was unable to use the Crest coupon I had. But, I did use the $1.00 off 2 Colgate coupon I had from a few papers ago and I was able to get 10 tubes for $5.00. Not free, but 50% off is better than nothing.
