what city/state are you in? Also, how do you use the cellfire? Shortcut? I download the cellfire and they ask for my cell phone number and kroger card number but I am not sure I am getting them discounted when I check out.

Thanks!

[AlexsMommy06]

I need help. I'm wanting to do some of the Daytona deals on Fri, but I have never used Cellfire or Short. So can I use a MQ and cellfire and short, Or do I take them off and just use my MQ? My store is a major Q pain in the @ss. Any help would be appreciated. THanks.

You get the discount of your MQ along with the discount of the cellfire Q for that item that you have loaded onto your card - (on one item only - in case you have multiples of the same). I have never had a problem with this and my store can be prickly about combinations. I really don't even think they know that the cellfire or short discount came off.

dannysmom,
Yes, all my transactions were back to back. I bought 6 Betty Crocker fruit snacks in one transaction thats how I got a $3.50 OYNO. Then I turned around bought 6 more and paid with the $3.50 OYNO and it printed another $3.50 OYNO! I did this until I ran out of Qs! I then traded for some more Qs on here and went back today (last day of the sale!) Heres what I got, didnt do as great, but still good for stocking up on stuff we can use! I also shared my leftover coupons with another shopper!


23 cans Chef Boyardee
12 boxes Betty Crocker fruit snacks
3 boxes Cheerios
2 Breyers half gal
1 Banquet tenders
1 Banquet nuggets
2lbs ham (deli)
2 loafs bread
1 Frenchs 40% bonus mustard

[ajayford]

I stopped today, did pretty good - started out with $88+ then gave my Kroger card and coupons, ended with $39.76. But the neat thing is, Kraft cheese was on sale for .99 cents if you bought 5, $1.24 for fewer than 5. I bought 6 (because I still have some of the $1.00/2 coupons, so I used three. This made the 6 packages of cheese $3.24. When the cashier gave me my receipt, I also got a $4.00 oyno cat from Kraft!! So Kraft paid me .76 cents to take 6 packs of cheese! I love Kraft! Also, the California pizzas were on sale for $5.00, and I used 3 $2.00 off coupons, which is a great price for a pretty good pizza. I'm happy with this trip!
