Kroger (Mid-Atlantic) ~ Promo: 20% off one order at Kroger

[hbaqueen]

Great job TammY!

I spent mine Tues I was there over 5 hours and my total before tax was $994 my total after tax and discounts was $398
I skipped produce and 2 or 3 other aisles and Im dissapointed I didnt get everything on my list but it was all I could take I had to go. I wish I had had a helper but my sister was suppose to go and she blew me off instead. My husband and friends all had to work. And my mom had to watch DS so that was worth its weight in gold not to have to take him.
Luckily my other sister did come home and help me put it away though.

Great job !! WOW, you really saved a ton !!, you're lucky you had help putting it all away !! I didn't buy produce either ( I go to Aldi's in Dunbar), but I did hit the meat counter !! Are you going to live off of your stockpile for awhile? Happy New year !!

Dumb question but, how do you know if it's available to you? I know we were only supposed to get 10%, but mine hadn't been mentioned to me and hasn't come off that I'm aware of....

I know I spent the required amount.

PS - you guys did great jobs with your discounts!

It should have been available after the 26th and when you shop after they hit total it should give the cashier the option to ask you if you want to use it.

Tammy- As much as I possibly can yes. Over half of what I got was non food though because we were out of diapers and stuff so that was a big amount of what I spent.
I was in so much pain I had to quit. We shouldnt need to go to the store except for a few things -fresh milk, yogurt ect for a couple months though.
I made my Jan menu and tried to get most of the things for it Tuesday.
I already browned my hamburger and cooked my chicken and foodsavered them into the freezer.
We have been living on our non food stock for some time now and will continue to do so but I did restock on some things with that 20% off and the PG sale.
By golly if I get one next year DH is taking the day off and going with me to help! LOL
And Ill use more coupons too. I had slacked off on the coupon collecting for a few months so I didnt have as many as I could have.
Im going back to only going to the store if I have to and only getting one insert a week for a few months but come next winter if I get one of those 20% Ill be back hot n heavy!! ;)

TY! They haven't asked me about it yet. :shrug7:

Tried to rep you but it said I had to spread the love first.

OKay that worries me because I think it was only good for so many days?? Anyone remember how long she had to use it? Maybe you should call CS on the back og your Kroger card and ask about it?

ETA from OP
shopping order from 12/27 through 01/ 09
So you should be okay but thats weird they have not asked.

I didn't get one at all - le sigh - but I still save tons of money at Kroger so I'm not complaining (much :))

Hmm, well I guess in the grand scheme of things its probably a small thing to worry about. I would have spent that amount anyway, discount or not. Maybe next time I go (this week) they'll ask about it.

Well an update of sorts. I was finally asked if I wanted to use my 10%, I did. The order wasn't big, so it didn't take off much - better use it or lose it though I suppose.

My order could have been a little larger but I discovered I couldn't use my softsoap coupons on the softsoap 10/$10. They were for the bottles of 8.5 oz. The bottles on sale were 7.5 oz. :(
