Kroger/Fry's DAYTONA 500 Sale!

Hello Everyone!

New deal going on starting today at Kroger/Fry's. You can do this deal multiple times. The first time you do it you will have an out of pocket expense ranging from 6.00 - 10.00 (depending on your coupons) but after that....all your orders can be FREE!!!!!

Here is what I bought today and the coupons used and what I received back:

6 cans of Pillsbury Biscuits - 1.19 x 6 = 7.14
2 bottles of Purex Liquid Laundry Detergent - 2.49 x 2 = 4.98
2 two liter bottles of Coca Cola - 1.19 x 2 = 2.38

SUBTOTAL: 14.50
Daytona 500 Mega Event (buy 10 participating items get 3.00 off) = -3.00
2 coupons for 1.00 off any coca cola product = -2.00
1 coupons for .30 off pillsbury biscuits (doubles to .60 off) = -.60
2 coupon for .40 off pillsbury buiscuits (each doubles to .80) = -1.60
2 coupons for .35 off Purex Laundry Detergent (each doubles to .70 off) = -1.40

GRAND TOTAL: 5.90

****NOW...here's the kicker!!! The Catalina Machine (that little machine that prints out coupons from time to time while you are checking out) will print out TWO coupons for you. One is for 4.00 off your next order because you bought 2 Purex and the other is 4.00 off your next order because you bought 6 pillsbury biscuits!

THAT'S 8.00 OFF YOUR NEXT ORDER!!!!! So, what do you do with these 2 coupons? You do this deal again and again and with coupons your orders will be FREE!!!

How do you get the coupons for the items I listed? There are many places to get them. This list will get you started:

Pillsbury Coupons can be found in your local Sunday paper or you can get them on line! Just go to www.pillsbury.com and at the top of the page you will see a tab that says Coupons. You just need to sign up (this is why I suggest having a separate email for coupons/promos) and then you can print your coupons. You can print each coupon twice. If you have more than one computer you can get even more (2 per computer).....you can also ask friends/family to print them for you.

Purex Coupons: Same deal as pillsbury. They can be found in your local Sunday paper (there was one a few weeks ago) or you can print them from http://www.purexsavesgreen.com/ Once you get to the website you will see a spot in the upper right hand part of the page that says SEND TO FRIEND, GET A COUPON. Very simple....click on that. Send yourself an email with their form. As soon as you click "submit" you will get a screen to print your coupon. Once the coupon has printed, hit the BACK button (upper left of your screen....also might be a left hand arrow) and you can print it again (your browser may tell you need to refresh the page....do it). Same thing...2 per computer.

Coca Cola Coupons: these are a little harder to get. I went to www.recyclebank.com and signed up for their program and took a few surveys and got enough points to get coupons mailed to me. You will probably not receive these in time for this deal at Fry's/Krogers but you should still do this and then you will have the coupons!

One more note.....what to do with all those biscuits??? First, make biscuits and gravy (yummy!). Other than serving them with your meals you can always share with neighbors, food banks, family, etc.

If you have questions, just post a comment here or you can email me!

ENJOY!

Kroger's (Fry's) Mega Sale to start this week

Depending on where you live, this sale will either start on Monday January 25th or Wednesday January 27th.

Kroger (Fry's in Arizona) will be having their Mega Sale. The deal is that you buy 10 participating items and you automatically get 5.00 off your bill. If you want to make this a true freebie/money maker deal, you will need to do the following:

1. The Quaker Rice quakes are going to be on sale for .99 a bag.
2. Buy 10 of them and you will get 5.00 off your bill making them .49 each.
3. There are coupons available from the January 10th Red Plum Coupon Insert (from the Sunday paper) for .75 off one bag. Kroger/Fry's doubles coupons up to 1.00 so your .75 coupon will be worth 1.00.
4. I purchased 20 of these coupons on ebay (you can too! just do a search on ebay for Quaker Rice Coupon). I know it seems silly to "pay" for coupons but you will be making money on them. I paid 2.75 for 20 coupons...you might get lucky and find them cheaper...just look at all the auctions and find the best deal per coupon.
5. HERE'S WHERE IT GETS FUN: You should have 10 bags of quaker rice quakes in your cart. Now you need to buy AT LEAST 5.01 worth of other groceries. It can be anything....milk, eggs, meat, bread, candy....anything! Make sure that the items you buy total OVER 5.00 (you don't want your total to go negative)!
6. Head to the registers. Have the cashier scan your kroger/fry's card and ring up your order. Hand the cashier your 10 coupons. Your total should now be under 1.00 (depending on what you bought in addition to the Quaker Rice Quakes).

Here's why this works: The Quaker Rice Quakes were .99 and you bought 10 (9.99) and got 5.00 off your order for a new total of 4.99. You bought 5.01 worth of other groceries for a new total of 10.00. You used 10 coupons for the Quaker Rice Quakes (.75 coupon which doubles to 1.00).....10.00 worth of coupons! Your total is $0.00!!!!!!! My suggestion is to purchase at least 5.25 so that the cashier doesn't get irritated with you for getting it all for free...it's been know to happen!

YOU CAN DO THIS DEAL OVER AND OVER AS LONG AS YOU HAVE THE COUPONS! It's kind of weird at first if you've never done this type of shopping but it works! I go through the line, take my stuff to the car and go back in and do it again. You'll want to check your paper and see if you can do more than one set of 10 at a time. Sometimes it will say you can do 3 transactions at once...in this case you could use 30 coupons and get 15.00 worth of free groceries.

What to do with all those rice cakes? Personally, I hate them! I have a friend that loves them and I give her as many as she wants...the rest get donated to the local food bank (I even ask for a receipt from the food bank and write it off on my taxes as a donation!).

Enjoy!!!
