Shopping at Cash and Saver for deals

Cash and Saver will not take internet coupons. They will only accept manufacturers coupons. So you may get a good deal on something they may have on sale with using those coupons. Most of their regular prices are getting very high at this store, so watch for the sales add in the local newspaper before shopping. You can normally get some good meat deals and deli products at a good price.

Shopping at Kroger with coupons

The first thing you need to do when you plan to shop at Kroger is to sign up for a Kroger Plus Shoppers Card. Sign up for Cellfire, Shortcuts, Kroger e Coupons, pgesaver, and any other loadable coupons that work with your Kroger card to take cents off coupons on products you may purchase there. Besides being able to load coupons to your Kroger Plus Card, they have some printable coupons on their website also. Also sign up for Upromise.com with your Kroger's card. You can apply coupons to your card there also that will accumulate as a savings for you that you can use in different ways. I have mine tied to my daughters college loan payoff.
Some Kroger's have double coupons up to 1.00 and will double dollar coupons, however my Kroger only doubles up to 50 cents coupons. That's fine, I am happy with 1.00 off an item especially if I have coupons loaded to my Kroger card to go along with it. Sometimes other Kroger's will even do TRIPLE COUPONS!
Some Kroger's will not let your Cellfire, Shortcuts and Kroger E Coupons all apply to an item.
I have purchased items at my Kroger's and checked my receipt and not only did I get my 50 cent coupon doubled, my Cellfire and my Shortcuts coupons loaded to my card applied also to that item and I have got many items free and have made some money on some products and that extra money off was applied to my others purchases that day.
So, I guess I am just tickled to death that my Kroger's does this and allows me to get so many items free or very cheap.
When I shop at Kroger's I usually save over $150.00 to $250.00 with coupons, internet coupons and the Kroger Card deals. I will leave that store with an overloaded grocery cart and have to worry about stuff falling out on the way to the car. I may spend 70 to 120 dollars at most. I will have a well rounded supply of products and I only do this about once a month. If I lived closer, I would do this weekly and it would be a lot easier for me.
So when you get ready to make your first coupon shopping trip to Kroger's, the first thing you need to do is to see what items are on sale at your store that week. You can do this at www.krogers.com and you will need to look up your store by your zip code. You can do this at my store on Saturday night sometime after midnight. Now my friends Kroger is in a different region than mine and her sales run Thursday to Wednesday, not Sunday to Saturday like mine. So you will need to determine what day your sales start during the week. Then look at what items are on sale for your store.
You can look on couponmom.com and slickdeals.net and see what coupons others are talking about for that weeks Kroger sales and then search out your coupons.
Check all of the coupon printing websites such as coupons.com, redplum, smartsource, coupons.com, general mills and bettycrocker.com also.
And don't forget the ones on the Kroger website. Also, check the coupons on slickdeals.net. Go to forums and then coupons and search several pages in for any items you might purchase or that is on sale a Kroger the week you go. Also, go to forums and then drug store, grocery deals and look for the latest Kroger post. Start from the last page and work backwards. Then you will get the latest information people have posted for shopping Kroger's.
Check your coupon inserts also from the Sunday paper. There may be coupons for sale items that week for Kroger's as far back as 4 to 6 Sundays ago. If you check couponmom.com she will have posted the ones she has found and what weeks insert they are in, however, your coupons, may or may not be the same as hers. So it will pay off for you to check yours yourself. She will also have some links for printable coupons that she has found online to print off for that weeks sales also.
Be sure to load your internet coupons onto your Kroger card at least one to two days before you shop there. Then print off you list of coupons that you have loaded to your card at each website. Compare the coupons from each list to see if you have the same coupon on more than one of your coupon lists. Say you have a coupon for Betty Crocker Cookie Mix on Shortcuts, Cellfire and your Kroger card also and you have paper manufacturers coupons also for them/internet printed coupons. Then you will most probably be able to get one or two of these free or very very cheap because, if they do not change the way they do the coupons at Owensboro Kroger, then this will happen. Other Kroger's, I do not know if they will or not. I do know in Indianapolis at my friends Kroger they only apply one internet coupon per product. Not several like down here.
Well, I hope I have remembered all that is important for this store, if not I will post more later.
Hope this make sense and helps you to really save some money and get some really good deals at Kroger.
