Quick question - so when you have the Q's on your Kroger's card from shortcuts and cellfire you can buy multiple of the item and it will take it off for each one?

[brook6]

e-coupons are single use

I have had multiples loaded before, due to overlapping offers...that is the only way

Went to Dillons this evening. I had a Gillette Shampoo/Cond coupon that I had received FROM Dillons and a Manufacturers coupon totaling $3 off. Shampoo was on sale for $3.69. Paid .69 for it and my husband really likes it. I had a sample bottle I had received and he was almost out.

[bobojay]

WOW Bette, that is great!!! I have never been able to do anything like that. What are the points about???

[bette]

Thanks! Only certain areas have the points, but for every 500 points we earn(1 point per $1 spent before q's), we get $5 back. So I got close to 1000 points for this order because I had a certificate for triple points as well.

[KristiArnold]

I'm a vegetarian and my husband's not...so he loves the Chef Boyardee cans for snacks. We're excited that they were on the Nascar sale list & we had a coupon from back in May. Yay!

[dubbs]

I combined these into one, went back after realized Kroger carries the new brands of Ragu that had the larger coupon value.

21 jars Ragu Spaghetti Sauce $1.50 each (had 7 $.60/2 and 7 $.60/1(For the margherrita and sweet basil brands.) All were doubled.
4 bottles of Kraft BBQ Sauce (4 $.50/1 coupons. all were doubled to purchase price)
5 3-ct Boxes of Orville Reddenbacher Popcorn (5 $.50/1 coupons and 1 $1 off Shortcuts e-coupon that I forgot was attached to card). $.50 coupons were doubled.
1 Free bottle of Hunts Ketchup @$1.69 from Conagra prods mailing

I had a $.50 Q for the Country Crock, but somehow didn't realize I had it, so I used the $0.25 Q. Also, I'm not entirely certain which Qs apply to which product, so I might be wrong on some of the above. I know I have the numbers right, just don't know if I've applied them to the right products.

Could you tell me which Q's you used. I know which ones for the Kool-aid and sugar deal, but that is it. THANKS

twyls,

This has kept our heads above water and helped BIG TIME!

If you can find a Kroger in your area that doubles to $1 you can really save big and have so many more choices of items to buy. If you haven't already, go on the Kroger site and register. There's a lot of info on there, incuding printable Q's, store locations, Q's to load on your card, etc. Good luck and I'm sorry about your husbands job.
