Kroger General Mills & Milk Deal through 8/2/11. Paid $1.94

Kroger has this great deal right now where you buy 4 participating General Mills items and u get 2 Gallons of Milk for Free! This is such a good deal, that I thought it needed it's own post! Here's what I got, but there are a ton of participating items to choose from and a ton of coupons, to see a detailed list, visit my resource for all things Kroger at I Heart Kroger, and read the post here.

Here's the transaction breakdown:

Cheerios $2.49
Used: $0.50 off Original Cheerios from 06/26 Smart Source Insert
= $1.49 after double x 2 boxes = $2.98

Nature Valley Granola Thins $2.49
Used: $0.50 off Nature Valley Granola Thins PRINTABLE from Coupons.com or CouponNetwork.com
= $1.49 after double x 2 boxes = $2.98

Springdale Milk $0.98 x 2 = $1.96
FREE when you buy 4 participating General Mills Products

HOWEVER, the registers at Kroger recognize the Milk's pre-sale price of $2.99, so they don't just give you FREE Milk, the register deducts $2.99 twice! Giving us the calculations below:

Total for all 6 items after coupons:
$7.92 ($2.98 + $2.98 + $1.96)
-$5.98 ($2.99 x 2),
= $1.94!

Kroger Trip 07/31/11. Paid $4.09!

I love shopping at Kroger. Yes, I just went there on 7/28, but I went back for more to take advantage of  both the coupons that were expiring on 7/31, and the ones that just came out on 7/31. So here's what I bought!

Get $2.00 off coupon on your next purchase when you buy $6.00 worth of crest products.
(Note: Fortunately, the registers acknowledge the pre-sale price of crest, which was $2.34, so buying 3, took me over the $6.00 mark, and I received the $2.00 coupon)

** Additional coupons: $0.75 off Crest toothpaste or liquid gel, 4.0 oz or more from 07/31/11 P&G Insert

Hamburger Helper, $1.53***

I hardly shop at Albertson's, but when it's a really good deal on stuff that I use, then I go... and I stock up!

10 boxes of Pop Secret, 3 ct

Albertson's Deals good from 7/27/11 - 8/2/11: The breakdown of the items are listed below:

Pillsbury Brownie Mix $0.69
I used $0.40 off Pillsbury Frosting or Brownie Mixes coupon from 06/12/11 Red Plum Insert*, which doubled to $0.80 off
FREE!

*Some regions received a $1.00 off 2 Pillsbury Frosting or Brownie Mix Coupon from 06/12/11 Red Plum Insert which would make it $0.19 ea. after double, still a good price!.

Crystal Light 4 for $5.00 ($1.25 ea.)

I used: $0.50 off 2 Pop Secret Products from 6/19/11 Red Plum Insert (expired 7/31/11)
I paid: $0.38 ea after double** x 10 = $4.30

** coupon states Do Not Double, however Albertson's doubles the first 4 coupons, for the 5th coupon I used, it only took off $0.50 for 2 popcorns, that's why I paid $4.30, instead of $3.80

*** You do not have to buy 10 of the same items to get that price, I did because we can always use popcorn at our house and becaue there was nothing else on the list of participating items that I wanted to buy. For a list of more items and to view my Albertson's resource, visit Dealicious Deals

Happy Shopping!
