Another super double day

[daniela6968]

We were at Kroger on 20 and Great Southwest, a manager was bagging my friend's things and saw she used coupons. She asked if she had been there for the super double day. Said yes and the manager said they were going to have another. To be on the lookout for the announcement very soon.

:wavehi:

[ellenbeth]

:BigHand:That would be sooooo exciting!!

[cupcake85]

Oh wow. My jaw dropped & I said "no flippin' way"....then picked jaw off the ground. I hope this becomes something they do often...we don't have a kmart so this will have to do ;)

[SaraO]

Oh I hope so!!! yippee!

[fourpaws]

When I was at the last Super Double sale one of the cashiers said Kroger's use to do this all the time. I don't remember them ever doing it before but I've only been doing the coupon thing about 6 months. How exciting! Hope we hear more news about this soon.

[imhzgrlnotu]

the last super doubles drained me so much i havent even wanted to shop since. at any store lol. hopefully if they do it again, ill actually be able to go at midnight and dh wont be a jerk with me lol.

zm said shes been krogering for years and has never seen it so thats odd that the cashier said that. it would be nice though!

daniela what city are you in?

[zoeys_mom]

Good, I am going out of town and I will be sure to clip clip clip while my dh drives!
And yes, when I moved to Houston in 1999 *cough I used to shop at one of the Galleria Kroger stores that would triple .50 everyday. They changed that after less than a year of me here and I have NEVER seen $1 doubles.
I used to have to drive to Austin 5 years ago for the Albertsons double/triple events(ahhh memories) But then Albies went Out of business in Austin too and then I traveled to Portland for 1 doubles event at Kmart but it was really NOT worth the drive given their prices. and Portland store stopped participating anyway.

So this will be GREAT if it becomes a regular thing! You guys will see me at MIDNIGHT everytime this deal comes around :hysterical:

[kw1976]

If this happens again, I will be there right in line waiting to ring out -- at 12:15 -- then hit the next store! Oh, how awesome it would be! I would love to see another Super Doubles Event!!

We are still eating on what we got last time!!

I was talking with one of the managers after the last Super Double and he said if they did it again, it would be certain hours, say 9am to 9pm, and not advertised as being one day like last time. He said that would assure them that they wouldn't have the problems that occurred last time with people coming late at night, when they were short staffed.

Wow! Can you imagine how crazy that would be if they had a Super Doubles Sale between 9am - 9pm on a Saturday :biggrin:.

[daniela6968]

I live in Grand Prairie, TX. It was a manager that said it.

[texxie]

wha???? huh????....anyone got a bib i can borrow?:giggle2::BigHand:

Maybe they should staff for it since they will know the turn out from the previous one :whistle67:
Ok - maybe that was a little rude. I showed up at my store around 10:00 and asked the manager if their machines were going to turn at midnight and how many transactions she would let me do. Once I talked to her and she saw some of the other usual late night couponers (when the children are at home sleeping w/dads and no lines) they asked a few employees to stay late and help with the checking out. :BigHand:

Fingers crossed this happens again and soon!!!! I see a little piece of shelf in my pantry. And my parents have been staying at the house for two weeks so I need to restock :hysterical:

[TxAngel3115]

That's Great... I will be keeping a eye out for it.. Thanks for the heads up

[rford5]

Just wanted to add....a Kroger manager here in Houston said the same thing about an upcoming Super Double day. He thought it would be closer to the holidays. He said that next time they would be better prepared with their stock by becoming informed about what coupons were out at the time and then stock up on those items. We shall see....

[mamastew]

He thought it would be closer to the holidays...

I still haven't recovered from the last one! :shopping99:

This will give me some time to get my head together for another one.:BigHand:

[dwshrty77roc]

Wow thanks for the info. I hope that happens before next month gets here. I would hate for it to happen right after I have my baby :sad: I would really hate to miss it.

[jaws1]

don't know whether to shout for joy or filled with dread ... we just got most (still working on a couple) of the store computers back to doing 3 d/t after the last Super Doubles ... :rolleyes24:

sorry ... not one of my better days today, energy drained with arguing with companies about their policies and trying to find people that can/will do something to fix 'em.

Perhaps I should have said:
Good, now they know to list it on their calendars to reverse any Q limitations at xxx time at the end of the sale!!

[imhzgrlnotu]

i agree with you murphy and dont think that was rude at all. youd think they would have had a couple extra people there even if they werent sure it would be how it was. if i was a manager id rather be overstaffed for a promo like that, and be able to send people home than be understaffed and have to put everyone through hell. i know how bad it was when i went to the store, i can only imagine being there as a cashier doing that ALL DAY!

it would be nice if the managers would order extra stock of stuff we have coupons for. im sure many of us would love to walk the store with managers and our coupon binders and help them with that lmao

[LaLabrowneyes]

I'm gonna have to buy another freezer, I can't wait.

[angieelee]

I also have not shopped since then, except for milk. Wow. Too exciting!

[GuysMommy]

This would be soooo exciting!! I would be more than happy to sit down with the store manager and tell him everything that will be wiped out. That way they can have more than enough. I missed out on so many things because my hubby was too scared of me going out at midnight. But he now knows since I missed some deals that I really wanted that he will not have a choice. Maybe since we are moving closer to my parents he or my mom can go too. The other will have to stay home with the sleeping baby. (I should correct myself here he is no longer a baby but a toddler)

Anyways, hopefully this time I can be super organized and it will be awesome!! I am sooooo excited. Too bad we did not get the house we looked at with a 9 x 9 storage room in the house. That would be full!!

[kaydalenascar]

This is so exciting. I was not able to shop during the last doubles day. You bet this time I will be there however. My sneakers and all!:BigHand:

[July13]

I HOPE that it comes around again! I didn't get nearly enough stuff last time. :hysterical:

[txqgirl]

woo hoo! that would be fun!!

[brokenomore]

I was told by a manager @ my store that they are going to start doing this once a month!

[imhzgrlnotu]

o lord i hope not, then i might have to actually keep my inserts organized :rolleyes24:

ill also have to rent another house to hold everything.

[jaws1]

You and me, both, girl! ... Let's see ... saw a (forgot what it's called) "Rent a Room" storage building that looked like it's not used a lot ... maybe a group of us oughta buy it and have some room to store stuff! ... I'm still liking the idea of building/buying a warehouse and living in it! ... maybe having a recycling center in it, too so folks can bring me their newspapers -- inserts REQUIRED, of course!!:hysterical: otherwise, I'd have to charge them for bringing their papers!! Can see DH now, "oh yeah...? Well, you better start saving a lot more money to pay the utilities and taxes on it! not to mention the AC!" -- Think I'd have to do a lot of "creative accounting" for him to believe we'd break even!

[zoeys_mom]

I sure hope so! I have a bunch of needy people that shop my house before hitting the real stores.

[alyssa0119]

Me too ZM - its nice to have a great pile of things these people need, they are so greatful! I hope it comes again.

[cupcake85]

Oh man I'm hoping so, I'm moving next to family (dad, brother, uncle & cousin + their girlfriends) and they love to raid my fridge! that would be so AWESOME! :BigHand:

[imm93]

Boy!! I really need to get a deep freeze!!?!?:hectic1:

[Cynthiabutterfly]

*starts gathering change from the bottom of her purse, the couch cushions, laundry machine and parking lots in order to buy a second freezer*

[hfawn]

I'm so excited to hear there may be another super doubles soon! Has anyone heard anything else about this? I will try to remember to ask next time I'm at Kroger.

[marof3]

I asked my manager he didn't know anything about it. Said he had just got back from a conference and they didn't mention to them. He thought that they will do another one but didn't know when.

[hfawn]

I had a dream that someone posted the dates for another super doubles sale and it was a weekend I am going to be out of town. I had to log on just to be sure it wasn't true, that would be a nightmare! lol

[1antigone]

When I was in Clute store yesterday, I saw the same manager who was there the night of the first super doubles and I asked him about the rumor and he said he had not heard anything, and he said he would have received an email if there was another one coming....so if there is, a may still be awhile down the road (with my luck, probably the week before Christmas, or something totally crazy like that)

[nateandtif]

Our Kroger Manager said he knew nothing about another super double down here in Lake Jackson. Hope he is just out of the LOOP!

[sallyann]

I spoke with my sister in law, who has worked at Kroger 25+ years and she said that there will be another super double day. She is the one who programs the weekly sales in their system. She just did not know when but said she will let me know as soon as she found out. FYI, she is in Humble.

[kw1976]

AWESOME, reps to you!! Can't wait to hear!

When I spoke to the manager at the Atascocita store a couple of days after the last superdoubles sale, I was commenting on how professional and calm the TWO GIRLS working at midnight were, esp when the computers weren't switching over and every coupon had to be overridden to be doubled, lines were a mile long, etc. He said it was corporate who told them how many cashiers they could have on board overnight. Hopefully they'll know better next time!

We need another superdoubles ASAP. Oh, Kroger........do you hear us?:wavehi::wavehi:

[danawana70]

I was at Kroger in Conroe...my cashier said that double day would "probably be next week!" when this store had its grand opening and that it would be all Krogers in area...we'll see!!! (It will be my 2nd DDay!!):giggle2:

This makes me so happy since this is right next to where I work. WOOT!

Oh no, I will be going out of town next weekend, that doesn't work for me! :hysterical: Seriously, maybe your cashier meant the following week.

[jaws1]

Well, if they're going by store opening dates, the Kroger Marketplace @ US 59 & FM 762 is supposed to open 10/19/09 ... (and is supposed to only allow 1 d/t per transaction normally) ....??

[antheahalpryn]

i'll be excited for another double day but man that day was just HARD! it took 2 days of prep working matching coupons to freebies and then the sales. got GREAT deals but w/2 full days of prep work (and working things into multiple trans to get things to triple etc) and then finding ppl were there @ midnight and everything really good was gone, i just don't know if i'm up for another. plus the lines were about an hour long. all my eggo's were thawed when i came home!
i hope they find a better way to do this or maybe do it more often so it's not such a mad rush for a 'once in a lifetime opportunity' LOL

I don't shop the Conroe stores too often, but, which store is having a grand opening? Is it a store that has been remodeled or did Kroger open another store? :shrug7:

They just remodeled the store at I-45 and North 336. It looks alot better inside now. :smile:

[sadlady12]

I agree, it does look a lot better in there now. I was in there today, for the first time since the last super double day. I normally shop at the Kroger on the South side of the Loop.

I am hoping against hope that this next Super Double doesn't come yet, lol. I have to be out of town until the 19th! Does anyone have confirmation on the date yet? I can't imagine it would last a whole week anyway! Are they crazy?

[FreckleTown]

Oh wow... my heart is pounding just thinking about another super double day! That was quite the rush!!

[Laureen13]

I hope this happens. :BigHand: We were moving on that exact day as our furniture was arriving from Colorado. I was able to grab some good deals but not nearly what I could have done especially since I was just getting started that week with coupons. :rolleyes24:

[jaws1]

I can't imagine it would last a whole week anyway! Are they crazy?

Maybe not so crazy as smart ... if they did it during a mega event, people would use their 50¢Q and less anyway just to get the mega items ... . I hate to even write what my other thought is on having it for a week -- instead, I'll just say that these retailers are often "crazy like a fox."

[ldholiman]

I feel the need to get up ight now and clip clip clip and organize my binder just to prepare for a maybe sale that who knows when will happen but on the off chance that it does I so want to be prepared! I am so excited!

[cmomgonuts]

when when WHEN....... I feel the need........ (searching for change in the couch!) and wanting to shop and save! :hectic1: need motivation to clip and file.:hectic1:
