Dillons is in the same family as Kroger. We do not have "Kroger" but have several Dillons. Do you know if the ads for Kroger are the same as for Dillons?
Thanks,
Candice

**Done couponing for years here and there but only recently have I gotten SERIOUS about it.

Yes you can. The 'loaded' Q's come off right at the end of the transaction, then they start scanning the paper Q's.
It's so lovely when you forget you have a loaded Q and it comes off giving you that added savings!!... at least that's what happens to me... I can never remember all of the loaded Q's I have.

HELP!! I'm new to the whole coupon world. I'm doing ok, but I'm having trouble learning all the tricks. The blogs are very helpful, but I have no idea what all the abbreviations mean. Can someone help me?? Also, can you use Cellfire and Shortcuts with the Manufactures coupon on the same item??

Thanks..

[z'smom]

I had the best trip today. We drove 1/2 hour to a Kroger that doubles $1.00s. DH looked panicked at our $251 total and then the coupons began. OOP $85 and we had some formula, so it could have been lower. $.18 Kellog's Cereal !!!! Our cart was over flowing!!!!!!!

[ktsstore]

Wow! Our Kroger NEVER does that....NEVER! I live in southwest Louisiana.

[andreaskye]

Awesomely enough our whole grain Barilla rotini was on closeout for 1.04 so2 for .04 a box with the .50 Qs. And then the piccolini is always 1.39 so 2 boxes for .39 a piece. Figuring we get 2 meals out of each box, very cool.
Of course then I get home and realize I have so much Wacky Mac, No Yolks, and different pastas, we could be eating pasta throughout a nuclear winter. LOL.
Note to Self: Gotta start cooking with more pasta/noodles.

[glmurphy]

what is cellfire and shortcut ?
I have never heard of these ?
Thanks.

Where in Michigan did you find the one $$ doubles? I wanna go there too!

[sleepyshopper]

I'm so bummed, I wished we had a Kroger's still....ours went under YEARS ago

[asasser]

Ok. I made a quick trip today before we move on Wednesday to use some of my coupons before I forget and they expire. I had THE nicest cashier who helped me out by backing some items out and then splitting my 1 transaction into 3 so I could take full advantage of my coupons. My store doubles every day up to & including 60 cents. They also triple every day up to 34 cents. There is also a limit of 8 like bonus coupons (meaning double and triple) per transaction...which meant she had to back out 13 of the Bounty and 2 Suave to split those up into my 2nd and 3rd transactions.

Here's what I got, though I'm combining the 3 transactions here:

21 rolls of Bounty Basic: 99 cents each - 0.25 Qs tripled = $0.24 ea
10 Suave deodorant 1.4 oz: $1 ea. - 0.50 Qs doubled = FREE!!
6 Folgers 11.3 oz bricks (to refill the plastic canister I already have): $3.69 ea (0.10 cheaper than same amt. in canister) - 0.25 Qs tripled = $2.94 ea
3 Duncan Heinz cake mix: $1 ea. - 0.35 Qs doubled = $0.30 ea.
5 French's Spicy Brown Mustard: 4/$5 ($1.25 ea) - 0.75 Qs = $0.50 ea.
1 Frank's Redhot Sauce: $1.25 - 0.50 Q doubled = $0.25
3 Softsoap liquid handsoap: 10/$10 ($1 ea) - 0.35 Qs doubled = $0.30 ea.
3 Buddies soaps: $0.99 ea - $2.50/3 Q = $0.47 for 3
Kroger shopping bag: $0.99 - $0.99 for designing one online = FREE!!
Big Red Gum slim pack: $1.19 - Free slim pack Q = FREE!!

After the first transaction, I got 2 Cats for $1 off next order, so I used both of them on my 2nd transaction.

Total OOP for all 3 transactions: $29.61
Total coupon savings: $44.89
Kroger plus savings: $17.48

My first transaction, I saved 63%. The second one, 100% (total was $0.32 after all Qs and tax). And on the third one, was 75% savings. SCORE!!!!!!!
