View this week’s complete Kroger Ad. Â

* Macomb area Kroger stores currently double coupons up to $0.50. However, as of October 2009, only 3 manufacturer’s coupons will be doubled per like items purchased. Â Â Â

You can now view the Kroger coupon policy for Michigan here.Â Â Â

You WILL need a Kroger card to take advantage of these offers; sign up for one at the Customer Service desk if you do not have one! Â Â Â

Select Kroger stores north of Macomb (Grand Blanc, Flint, Frankenmuth and more – view a full list here) will double manufacturer’s coupons up to $1.00! This can mean a great savings (and some potential free items each week). If your travels happen to take you north, check the Kroger ad (search by zip code) for the areas you’re passing through. You just might want to pack your coupons, too! Visit 1-2-3 Save for matchups that include doubles up to $1!

Take your own bags to Kroger and you’ll receive a credit for $0.05 per bag used on your shopping order. You may need to remind your cashier to deduct your credit, however, as the computer will not do it automatically!

Load e-coupons to your Kroger card before you shop: visit Cel lfire, Shortcuts and Kroger Digital Coupons. Each website lists the e-coupons that can be loaded onto your Kroger Card so that you can save even more! E-coupons are limited to one use per card and will not double.

Please note the restriction in Kroger’s coupon policy: Limit 3 Manufacturer’s Coupons will be Doubled (up to $0.50) per Like Items PurchasedÂ Â Â

Just a heads up, I don’t think the Ben and Jerrys coupon will work, it says its restricted to certain stores and Kroger isn’t on the list.

2 Jeremy April 5, 2010 at 2:15 PM: @Coley,
You are right I can’t even save it to my card. It only has an info button which cites the stores it’s for. Actually it is kinda sad because there are a whole bunch of good coupons like this right now.

I can’t find the $.99 mission tortillas – where are they located?

4 Lee April 6, 2010 at 3:46 PM: @Nicole McGlassion,
I don’t know about your store,but in my local Kroger,the Mission corn torillas are in the bread aisle on a little stand with the kroger brand ones.

I went today and the Betty Crocker Pouch Potatoes catalina didn’t print. I was super bummed.

The BC potato pouches were 1.29 at the Holland store so not a deal for me.

The Kroger in Livonia has coupons in front of the Chef boyrdee cans for a free 4 pack of hunts pudding cups when you buy 4 cans of chef boyrdee pasta, so that goes great with the $1.50 off 4 printable! They also have the $1 potatos and the $3 catalina did print off for me. Thanks so much for the great tips!
