Yes! You can combine any of the e-coupons (from pgesaver, cellfire, unilever or shortcuts) with manu Q's. Only one e-coupon will come up per item and you can use each of them just once, but you can get great deals!!

For instance last week my Kroger had the single roll Bounty for $1. I had a $0.25/1 Any Bounty from the newspaper, it tripled so it was $0.75 off PLUS the e-coupon from pgesaver (another $0.25/1), I got a roll free!! And the rest of my rolls were just $0.25 (since the e-coupon is valid only for 1 product). Sometimes shortcuts and cellfire will have similar coupons, so you can get more than 1 product with the deal. Hope this makes sense LOL

[interwebuser]

Yay, I found lots of the same deals you guys did for last week! (My Kroger sets it's new prices on Wednesday.)

Bounty for 25 cents
Kotex for $1.50 24 count pads (I didn't have the paper q, due to the recent tragic loss of my coupon stash)
Kroger brand Tortilla chips for 35 cents

I still only saved around 30%, but I feel like my couponing trips are going smoother already! This is my third week of couponing, so right now it is still a hobby, but I hope to develop my skills so I can contribute even more to the family finances.

Keep the good deals coming!

Ok y'all be sure to check your receipts!

I went in for the Dial hand soap 10 for 10 special armed with .35qs.
And EVEN THOUGH I did use my Kroger card they didn't triple. Not even the first one! :<

Make sure to watch those cashiers.

I need to stop taking my hubby shopping with me. My goal is to spend under $75 each week. I would've done it today but he had to have some Coronas, and he threw a few other things in the cart.

It's funny how a cashier can be so nice and chatty until you whip out your coupons. Then she acts like you have just ruined her day! Oh well...

My good deals were-

Bounty paper towels- $1 -.50 Q that doubled = free!
12 jars of Beech Nut stage 2 &3 baby food for $3.68 (about .30 a jar)
Kotex tampons- $2.50 -$1 cellfire -.75 Q =.75
A1 $2.69 -$2 Q = .69
I also got free milk!

I saved 30% today. I know I can do better. Just need to leave hubby at home!

I have to leave my husband at home, too! He is a junk food junkie and he throws so much junk into my cart! It makes me crazy! He's as bad as a child, has to have something every time we walk into a store. Once, at CVS, I was going to be MAKING $10 on my deals, well, he decides to throw in a pair of sunglasses for $9.99!! I tried to get him to wait and pay separate, just so that I knew my trip went as planned (it's just always nice to see all of that savings and such, it gives me an adrenaline rush), but nope. I've learned to do my shopping during the day when he's at work and try my very best not to send him out for milk, just a milk trip will end up costing him $20-$30 by the time he's done! It's much easier to take him shopping with two children, but much harder to save money! I think I'll take the kids shopping myself and leave him to work!

It looks like everyone is doing great with your Krogering, keep up the good work!

The coupon should double or triple automatically when it's scanned. My Kroger receipt will show two lines for the coupon. Using the example of your .35 Q, it would look like this:

MC Scanned Coupon .35
SC Bonus Coupon .70

Does yours look like that? If not, maybe the barcode of the Q started with a 9? I never had the .35/1 Dial Q, so I don't know. I've read her on AFC that Qs with barcodes starting with 9 never double or triple.

[lpopham]

My reciepts look like that also.

Some will have OP after observing the cashier, the OP was related to when they needed to manually enter the amount of the Q.

HTH

My receipts usually look like that and I am usually watching the screen like a hawk to see that they do double. But I guess I was chatting with the cashier too much? I chalked it up to lesson learned and will be a crazier coupon lady next time.

My Kroger had Kotex for full price. The cashier was a jerk about my two IP (total of $1.55 but you'd think I was robbing the store the way she acted). I got some good deals though. I'll make sure I never go through her line again!

[missteena]

I love trips like this :-)


6 packages of Keebler cookies
6 half gallons of milk
2 Healthy Choice Frozen Entrees

After Q total: $2.20

[KAREN BUTLER]

please tell us what coupons you used

[missteena]

I used (4) $1/1 Keebler Cookies, (2) .55/1 Keebler Cookies, and (2) $2/1 Healthy Choice Frozen Dinners

All Q's can be found in threads on this board. Keep in mind I went to a Kroger that doubles up to $1 so that helped me out a lot. And the $1/1 Q technically says it's for the "fudge shoppe" cookies but will work on any keebler.

Happy Shopping!

[vramondenc]

I went last night to get some cheap chicken and produce and decided to grab a few Reeses with the BOGO and $0.55/1 Q's (Reeses sale price is 2/$1).

I only had 4 Q left with me (2 BOGO and 2 $0.55/1), so I got 4 Reeses bars expecting to either get them FREE or with a little overage (my store only doubles up to $0.50). Well, the cashier gave me back one of the $0.55/1 because she said the machine wouldn't take it... I was ABOUT to complain, when I noticed that the reason why the machine wouldn't accept them was that each bar had rang at $0.50 BUT the BOGO coupons had taken $0.89 each! (the original price, not the sale price) So in the end I made a little over $0.30 and saved a Q... that I'm using today!!!

[KansasWind.atmyback]

Thanks good to know the "fudge shoppe" qs will work on any kebbler I have a few of those I can still use. Free milk here I come!

That's great! My Kroger only doubles up to $0.50.

I hit two nearby stores today, and after a total of 5 times through the line, I came home with 60 boxes of Hefty OneZip bags, 32 Fruit20 waters, 9 Yakisoba Noodles, 15 Bounty paper towels, 3 cans of Mighty Dog, and 15 bottles of Dial. My total was $3.50 + tax

I love my local stores because they are very well stocked, so after I got all that, it still looked like the shelves hadn't been touched, nad I didn't have to suffer guilt from getting so much!

[alexsmom1101]

which store doubles up to 1.00 in the toledo area

[1Ginger]

How is everybody getting these crazy amounts of Hefty bags, Fruit 20s, and Yakisoba? Are these blinky coupons or just mass couponing over time that you have saved numerous coupons?

The Hefty and Fruit 20s were $1 coupons, so you didn't have a limit as far as doubling. I work at a university, and no one in my department coupons, but they get a ton of papers since they're professors, so I get all the coupons!

I just had to share my trip today. My husband was smoking a pork butt for bbq sandwiches and I realized I was out of buns. So, I decided to run to Kroger and, while I was there, grab a few things I wanted to get before the sales changed.

5 Metromint water - .55/1 doubled = free
1 Yakisoba - .50/1 doubled = free
4 Reese's - .55/1 doubled - b1g1 = .11 for all
1 pkg fresh ckn breast = 3.55
1 pkg buns = 1.59
I had a $5 q (off of anything) that came w/a PT. I barely made it to the $5 before tax after my q's came off.
-.06 for bags
Total oop .88 (.69 was tax)
Mfg cpn savings $9.59
Bonus cpn savings $3.30
Store cpn savings $7.33
Total savings $20.22/99%

Woo hoo! So glad I grabbed my q's before I left! Still don't understand why the Reese's .55 q's are doubling the full amount. Wish I had a bunch more!
