Sales cycles in the different regions?

[KristiaMarie]

I didn't see this question posted anywhere, and forgive me if it is; can someone explain to me the way the different regions work? For example I am on the Kroger Central region. Isn't there a region (great lakes maybe?) that is one sales cycle ahead of me? Meaning I could do match ups on the Great lakes forum and wait a week for the deals in my region??

Can some one please help me out with this?

Thanks so much!

When does your sale start? I'm in TX, and ours start on Wednesdays...so we are at the end of the line, so to speak.

I always check out Cinncinnati's forum, as they seem to get an early ad and their sales start before ours.

I'm in the Delta region (our ads start on Wed), but I always look at a Nashville area ad online Sunday morning. They get some deals we dont, mostly meat, pop, & milk. But you get a pretty good idea of what is coming up. Some prices may also be just slightly different. I love being able to get a "sneak peek" at my ad. You could also look up Louisville area stores on sunday morning.

Mid-Atlantic here our ad runs Sunday thru Saturday - makes us front of the line I suppose!

KristiaMarie- check out the Ohio ads. You can change your zip code (or register an alternate email addy and have it sent to you weekly) on the Kroger site to have a look at a Colombus OH ad. I am also in IN (by Ft Wayne) and most of the items from that OH ad are in our ad- but sometimes NOT for the same price. For instance- something that is $1.79 in their ad may be $1.99 in our ad (some of the mega sale stuff too).
But it REALLY does help to start looking for coupons when their ad gets posted! I can sort my coupons or order coupons on Monday AM for the items that I want to stockpile and they are generally here by the time I go to the store on Thursday afternoon. I also get the local store ad emailed to me from the Kroger site so I can do a run thru again and sort out against the actual ad. Don't forget to look at the "additional Savings" section of the ad, it is a separate click, but sometimes has some great deals too! Another location to look at for a deal run down/coupon match up for OH is www.stretchingabuckblog.com which usually posts on Monday mid morning

This never occurred to me!! So, I'm in Indy and my sale runs Thur-Wed so I can check North Carolina Sunday ad and get a head start? Woot!! Gonna try that right now!
