Why the odd number of P&G items? What was the price of your tide, must be cheaper than ours.

[thrift-e mom]

I'm in the process of tossing my expired July Qs....I'm kicking myself for not using more of the P&G Qs that expired yesterday! I'm thankful that Kroger had the P&G event and that it doesn't end for another week. Here's just some of the things I bought...
I bought 12 P&G items.....
Covergirl Eyeshadow $2.17 -$1 - $1 Q = $0.17
Tampax $2.99 - $1 - $1Q - $0.50 p&g esaver Q = $0.49
Pringles Stix $2.99 - $1 - $0.50 Q(doubled) = $0.99
Tide $5.88 - $1 - $1Q - $0.35 p&g esaver Q = $3.53
Tide $5.88 - $1 - $1Q = $3.88
Herbal Essense shampoo $2.99 - $1 - $1Q - $1 p&g esaver Q = free + free styler WYB Q
Old Spice Bodywash $3.49 - $1 - $1Q = $1.49
2 x Olay Bodywash 2/$7 - $1(x2) - $2(x2)Qs - $0.50 p&g esaver Q = $0.50 for 2 bottles
Pantene Twin Pack $5.99 - $1 - $2Q + free styler WYB Q = $2.99 ($1 for each bottle) ...but I just realized that the girl must've scanned that Q twice because it's deducted 2 times & all together I only had 3 Qs for the $2 amount(2 for Olay, 1 for Pantene) so I guess I got Shampoo, Conditioner & styler for $0.99!
Pampers EasyUps $9.77 - $1 - $1Q = $7.77 (not a great deal but I had to get them)
Charmin $6.99 - $1 - $1Q - $0.25 p&g esaver Q = $4.74
Some other items bought using Qs.....
5 x Oral B toothbrushes $5.00 - $1(x5)Qs = free! Only had 5 left on the shelf
5 x Crest toothpaste $5.00 - $1Q - $0.75(x4)Qs = $1.00 for 5 tubes
3 x Danimal Crush Cups $1.88 each - $1(x3)Qs = $0.88 each box
3 x Hillshire Farm Turkey $3 - $1/3 Q = $2.00
3 x Hillshire Farm Chicken $3.75 - $1/3 Q = $2.75
2 x Tyson Chicken $6.11 - $1(x2)Qs = $4.11 for 2 pkgs of chicken
Spam Singles $1.09 + BOGO Q = 2 for $1.09

Kellogg's Event...
2 x Frosted Mini Wheats $3.59ea - 50%($1.80) - $1(x2)Qs = $0.79 each box
4 x Rice Krispies $3.29 ea - 50%($1.65) - $1(x4)Qs = $0.65 each box
Poptarts $2.99 - 50%($1.50) = $1.49
Yogos $3.19 - 50%($1.60) = $1.59

Found on Closeout...
Ziploc Produce bags 15 ct. $1.79 ea - $1.50/2 Q = $1.04 per box

My total bill was $234.00 before card scan and Qs
MFG Qs $65.07
BNS Qs $2.00
PLUS $67.06
total Qs $134.13

OOP $95.08

I got the Herbal Essence styler for free also. It wasn't marked anywhere as a participating P&G product but after looking over my receipt I found that it was part of the $4/4 event! I had my items all figured out...I had 12 P&G items (not including the styler) but my receipt shows [+] = 13...????

[kcelianeil]

what is the kroger p$g event, I don't see it in my ad. I would use store on portsmouth blvd. in VA. Also, I thought that kroger only doubled up to .50, but it looks like some are talking of doubled 1 Qs?????????
Help! Never shopped Kroger before...usually a ff and HT chick!!!!!

[mcdlady1]

My dillons just told me they take expired coupons one crew person said 7 days and a manager said 14 days. woohoo

[robinpike]

I am new to couponing and I am just SO amazed at how all you ladies do this.

I have a really silly question ... what is MQ ???? Also, is there a place you can direct me to that will give me a cheat sheet for abbreviations?

I hope to do as good as you all one day!!!

Thanks so much for sharing!!!

First total before Kroger card was $206. Whoops way over spent. Then the Kroger card kicked in and I handed him my coupons. *Which I might add, he was not too happy with me. *

Total amount saved .... $68.70



I made my husband give me a high 5. I was a little excited. Oh and yes I waited til we were in the car before I did that.

So, just wanted to say a great big Thank You for this site!

[teenymi]

thank you

[marcie26]

Can someone explain this deal to me? Also, I wondered if there might possibly be a separate thread for Krogers that only double to .50? I get sooo confused on figuring out how people got their deals and then realize that their stores double to $1, not .50

Review your local Kroger ad. On any P&G items when you buy 4 products you get $4 off your order instantly (this can be done unlimited times in one transaction).

[pkowis]

Shoot I just wish our stores would let us use more than 3 like coupons. If I have 4 like coupons that do not double they will not let us use it. I can understand not letting us use more than 3 to double so many people do not clear off the shelves but I wish they would consider on the others.

[AutumnGriffin]

I'm jealous of those that get to double up to and including $1.00, our Krogers did that once when they first opened 6+ years ago but have never done it again since. I guess they had some real whoppers during that week and evidentally have sworn off ever doing it again. Waaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!
