Kroger: August 9-15, 2010

These Kroger deal matchups have been created using the Kroger store ad for the Metro Detroit area, where coupons double up to $0.50 (limit 3 identical coupons per order). I’ve listed only what I consider to be the best deals for your money this week. Please let me know if you see others worthy of making the list!

Kroger Shoppers: If your Kroger Shopper card is registered, be sure to log in to your account at Kroger.com and check your list of existing e-coupons (those loaded to your Kroger card) under “My Coupons.” Many shoppers are finding a rewards coupon waiting for them there, valid from $4-6 off their next Kroger purchase, no strings attached!

Updates will continue to be added throughout the week, so check this list before you shop!

Kroger Add Up the Savings Mega Event Items

Save $4.00 instantly at the register when you buy any combination (mix and match) of 8 participating products using your Kroger Shopper card. Buy these items in groups of 8 for the best possible pricing. This discount will deduct on your receipt as $4.00, but for matchup purposes I’ve listed it as $0.50 off per item. Look for the special tags on participating products (additional deals can be found in the store that aren’t included in the weekly ad – please let us know if you find any!)

KROGER COUPON POLICY

You can now view the Kroger coupon policy for Michigan online.
Please that Kroger’s coupon policy clearly states in each store ad: Limit 3 Manufacturer’s Coupons will be Doubled (up to $0.50) per Like Items Purchased.

NOTE on Printable Coupons: Some Kroger stores have been denying the redemption of any printable coupon over $1, so proceed with caution when using printable coupons. You can view/print the Kroger Print-at-Home Coupon Acceptance Policy here, which does not specifically restrict the use of printables over $1.

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!

KROGER SHOPPING TIPS

SELECT Kroger stores outside of Macomb (Grand Blanc, Howell, 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 digital coupons to your Kroger card before you shop: visit Cellfire, P&G eSaver, 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. Kroger digital coupons may be combined with actual paper manufacturer coupons, according to this response from corporate (the other digital coupon sites restrict it according to policy):

Each store location has the option of using a store or manufacturer’s coupon in addition to a digital coupon – as long as the value of the coupon(s) used does not exceed the purchase price of the item(s).
