The big Kroger Mega Savings Event is currently underway now through September 2nd and courtesy of General Mills and Pepsico, I was given a $30 Kroger Family of Stores Gift Card to see just how much I could save on my groceries. I do all of my weekly grocery shopping on Friday mornings, so I set out yesterday with my gift card excited about the possibility of some great deals.
If you are not familiar with this promotional offer, here is how it works: when you buy 10 participating brands (see list below) and use your Shopper Card at check out you instantly save $5. And there is no limit on the number of rewards per transaction! Look for the double yellow tags in-store.
Participating brands include: AMP Energy, Aquafina, Betty Crocker Baking Mixes, Betty Crocker Fruit Snacks, Cascadian Farms Cereals and Bars, Cap’n Crunch, Cheerios, Cheetos, Chex Mix, Cinnamon Toast Crunch, Cocoa Puffs, Dole Juices and Juice Drinks, Fiber One, Fritos, Gatorade, Golden Grahams, Green Giant, Hamburger Helper, Life , Lipton Tea, Nature Valley, Old El Paso, Pepsi family of 2 Liters, Pillsbury, Progresso, Propel, Quaker Instant Oatmeal, Quaker Chewy Bars, Starbucks, Sobe Life Water, Totino’s, Trix, Tropicana, Yoplait and MORE!
I saved over $24 during this shopping trip, which is pretty amazing. I was particularly excited about the following products:
Old El Paso Taco Dinner Kits- 2 for $5. (orgiginally $3.29 each)
Baby Carrots (washed and peeled) – 2 for $3 (originally $1.99 each)
Kroger brand Yogurts 3 for $1
Tyson Frozen Chicken Nuggets-$5.99 a bag
While not every item on my list was included in the sale, the prices were still reasonable or on Kroger Plus Card special, so I feel very pleased overall. And since the Mega Savings Event runs through September 2nd, I know I’ll save again on future trips in the next couple of weeks. Kroger also has some fabulous coupons on their site that you can be added to your shopper’s card before you go to the store and some that can be printed out.
GIVEAWAY: General Mills, MyBlogSpark and Pepsico have generously offered one of my readers a $30 gift card to any Kroger Family of Stores. All you have to do to enter is leave a comment telling me how much you think you could save on your next shopping trip if you won it. I will close comments at 11 PM Central Wednesday, August 26.

It is exciting about the offers,Discount Coupons. There are tons of coupons out there and I believe that you wont find every single one on a single site. Deals365.us does it simple.
I think I could save 30-40%, maybe more. I love Kroger!
I think I could save at least $30-40 with this sale. Thanks for the giveaway!
My goal is to save at least 50% on each shopping trip so I'm hoping for around 65% at the Mega Event.
Thanks for the chance to win!

I could save more than what the gift card is worth with Coupons and loading savings to my club card to combine the savings!

I think I could save more than 30%. If I watch the sales at my local Kroger chain I can usually get really great deals!

I just got home from Krogers. My total before coupons was $78 and after was $42. Pretty big savings!!
I usually save 15 – 20%, but with the Mega Deals I bet I could save 30 – 40%.
I love Kroger!
I usually save at least $30 ever time I go there!
I would be so excited to win this!

Oooohhhhh! I average a savings of $20 to $25. However; that's only when I'm rushing through willy-nilly and not really planning. I saved over $50 at Fred Meyer (A branch of Kroger) $70 if you count that I used my rewards coupons with actual dollar amounts off.
I've even turned my husband into a coupon fanatic. He would even carry my (I did not pick it, I was between coupon holders) baby blue and pink kitten coupon box. I won't lie, we upgraded to a nicer holder shortly after his obsession began.
Oh right, Kroger wants to know how much we think we would save: I'll say $25.
I love the hunt of the deals and coupons. Im new at this but yesterday at another store with the coupons i used I saved $28. Not too shabby.
You're speaking my love language.
I'm known in my neighborhood as the "coupon queen." I recently got $21 worth of groceries for 96 cents.
Woo hoo! Sign me up for the giveaway! 🙂
