Kroger Mega Sale: How I shop it.

These are pictures from a trip earlier this year....
GRAND TOTAL: I spent $56.89 and SAVED $173.25.

The reason why I like the mega sales so much is that even if I do not have coupons for items they are typically still a really good price. Now, if I do happen to have the coupons many time I end with FREE or almost FREE items! I really stock up during these sales.

Most of the items that I pick up during these events are snack items, cereal, gatorade, paper products, and canned goods.

If you have not shopped a mega sale this is is usually how they work:

When you buy 10 specially marked Mega Deal Items you will get $5 back. You get this $5 instantly off your total at the end of checking out when you use your Kroger card. You don't need to do anything the register will take it off.

It appears that this time there is no limit and you can get as many items as you want. In the above pictures I think I had 80 Mega Event items, so $40 came instantly off my total at the end!

It can be easy to have a hard time keeping track of how many mega items you have so I try and just shop those first and check out. I also always keep a few cheap items like gatorades in my cart so as I am putting them on the belt and they are checking out I re-count again to make so I have multiples of 10, if I have like 27 items and need 3 more to get the $5 off I have a few gatorades to throw in to get there. Make sense?

Check back tonight and I should have the match-ups ready. Tomorrow I will run in and see if I missed anything and post those. Send me pictures of your haul!

** If you have a Kroger and your sales start from Sunday To Saturday you might already have this sale going. Here in Houston and in this region our sale is from Wednesday to Tuesday, our Mega Sale starts tomorrow. Mega Sales usually run 2 weeks.
