I had one of those "WOW" moments while using the self scan at Costco... my total actually came to $50 even (the exact amount of FREE money that I had to spend!)! I was tickled when I checked out... until I started strolling the cart away and noticed that my son was still holding the container of cinnamon... ah, multi transactions at Costco... it feels kind of weird!

***And since I forgot (AGAIN!) to put the cinnamon in the Costco picture... here it is!!!

Hi Laura,

I noticed you had an IP coupon for the potatoes. This is one of the only brands I buy and would love a coupon. Do you remember where you found it? Thank you!

Hi Modern Girl,
SUPER Kroger doubles coupons up to and including $1. Bounty Basics sells for $1.09 and I had a coupon for $1/2 or $1 off each roll! The juice is similar, I had $1 off coupons that double... the OJ was $.38 and the grape juice was FREE!

Danielle,
I printed the coupon several weeks ago... I don't remember! I Googled the coupon and got this link: http://www.freesnatcher.com/bogo-freee-5-pound-bag-of-green-giant-potatoes/

Is the free water with purchase of 3 Crystal Light products this week at Meijer? I saw in the ad the Crystal Light is on sale, but I didn't see anything about the water. Does the register print a catalina for the water or just automatically take the cost off after you ring up your water?

Laura Webber

Amanda,
You need to bring a Meijer brand 12 pack with you to the register... it will automatically be deducted!

Amanda

Thanks!

Wow, I never shop at Kroger, because I've always found the best deals accross the street from Kroger (at Meijer). Also, I've never heard of a SUPER Kroger, but it sounds like a winner!

Since SUPER Kroger is 45 minutes from my house, I only shop it when I'm in the area... but all in all, Meijer is hands down my favorite!
