I have the handsaver coupons.

Will try to post details later but my total started at 103.52 and I walked out paying 33.42 and the best part is that was 2 roasts, a package of hamburger, and package of chicken breasts and a sirloin steak.
3 mega deals.
Mine is a dillons and it was a good shopping day also got 60 bucks of stuff free at target

[esquala]

6 boxes regular Kleenex
2 boxes lotion kleenex
10 bags temptations cat treats
2 bags chex mix

Used:
(2) .50/3 regular kleenex (doubled to $1)
(1) .50/2 lotion kleenex (doubled to $1)
(10) .50/1 tempations cat treats
(1) .50/2 bags chex mix (double to $1)

AND, before I paid, the cat spit out two $1 ONYO courtesy of temptations, and $1 ONYO, I think courtesy of Kimberly Clark, so I used those to pay for the same order:

Mfg q savings: $12.00
Bonus savings: 3.50
Kroger plus savings: 17.80
Total q's: 33.30
86% savings

Now, I have to say I consider it cheating to make a big deal about saving 86% buying a whole bunch of cat treats and kleenex, and two bags of chex, but it still feels great, esp since OOP was $5.49!

And thanks to everyone for your matchup suggestions!

The 20 things I got today for 2 mega deals:

4 - Kleenex Anti-Viral .99 - .50/2 MQ tripled = .24 each

2 - Stayfree Pads $2.00 - B1G1 MQ = $.75 each (the $2 price is after the $5 off for the mega event, but the coupon took off $2.50 since that was the price before the $5 came off for the mega event.)

1 - Frosted Mini Wheats 1.99 - $1 MQ - .99

1- Froot Loops 1.99 - $1 MQ = .99

4 - Sobe Lifewater .50

1 - Kraft Shredded Cheese $1.49

1 - Tyson Breaded Chicken = $6.49 - $1 MQ = $5.49

1 - Daisy Sour Cream $1.49 - $.50/1 MQ tripled = .01 overage since the price before the $5 off for mega event was $1.99.

4 - Quaker Chewy Granola Bars $1.49 - .75/2 MQ = $1.12 each

1 - Brawny Paper Towels $5.49 - .50/1 MQ tripled = $3.99

= $21.88 + tax

I'm so mad though... I forgot about a $3.50 OYNO I have from last time.. it expires on the 21st, so now I have to think of some other things to buy.

You may be able to take the cat and your receipt up to CS and they'll probably give you cash for it. I've forgotten to use coupons that I had before and CS is usually pretty good about making it right for you.

The best part of the night was getting to meet a member, and new friend, from here and having dinner, chatting and exchanging Qs. I think it bewildered our waitress a bit. Binders, bins, scissors and coupons spread out all over the table. Tee Hee.

[tcurtis40]

I did great....we are have a mega sale here. You get 5.00 back for every 10 items you buy that kroger has listed. With coupons and kroger discounts I bought 230.00 worth of groceries and paid only 109.00. This was the most exciting day since I have started saving with coupons. It it wonderful.

[tcurtis40]

Go to forums and search for RAOK. I am new to a full cup but my friend and neighbor says this is a great way to trade coupons. I hope it works for you.

[Ispendtoomuch$]

[tcurtis40]

I am new at all this but I have found DO NOT GET RID OF COUPONS......You will look at them and think "I will never use that one" but you will. Loreal coupons I thought its not worth it but at Kroger if you go through the manager's special buggies there I found Loreal shampoo for 1.99.........I had a coupon for 1.00 off therefore shampoo .99 you can beat it........This is so awsome. Every newbie out there---do not get discouraged just keep going. It takes time but you will get it and you will become a pro.

I'm so jealous of all the double coupons to .99. Ours only doubles to .50 and I haven't yet got the jest of everything. But I made my first trip to Krogers in decades yesterday and found that I saved $16.38 with only two coupons. We purchased
10 Birdseye vegetables
6 Yoplait Yogurts
2 Uncle Ben's microwave rice
Total before $34.78
Total cpns $16.38
OOP $18.48
46% savings

I'm ordering some coupons online from www.couponcutters.com and I'm certain I will do better next time.
