I love these readers trip! You guys are killing it!

This is Michaels trip:

” I got 28 mac n cheese, 20 betty crocker potatoes, 5 totinos pizzas, 2 pilsbury cookies, 2 dole cans pineapple, and 2 plastic jar pineapple dole (I love pineapple). I used 2 x75cent qs on the dole jars, a q uploaded for the cookies, and 3x 5.00 catalinas from a previous trip. My total was 48.71 and I got back 11 x 5.00 catalinas or $55.00. Cha change!”

Awesome trip Michael! Roll those catalinas this week!

This is Charity’s trip! 

“Hi Tiffany! I followed your matchups for the Kroger mini mega event and bought 25 items. I did 5 transactions of 5 items each and rolled the Catalinas. Retail was $51.49, but I paid $7.73. Of course the cashier wanted to know how I did it, so I gave her all the tips. The shelves are well stocked at my Kroger so I look forward to going back this week to do these deals again!”

If you need additional coupon for the Kroger Mega Event there are a few ways you can get some.

First, make sure that you have printed from every possible computer! LOL! Ask friends, family, etc. to print coupons for you. I have the ability to print from work as well. Check your papers to see what coupons you have there.

Finally, you can use e-coupons as well. Load Cellfire coupons to your Kroger card for additional savings.

If you have not signed up for Savings Star it is another way to save.

Savings Star has ecoupons that can be added to your store’s loyalty card (like you already do with Cellfire etc.) and when you purchase that product at participating stores (CVS, Rite Aid, Albertsons, Dillon’s, Kroger, Ralph’s and many more stores) the eCoupon amount is added to your Saving Star account. When you reach $5, you can redeem your savings for Paypal or Amazon gift cards.

It is easy to do:

• Sign up for Savings Star HERE and add you stores loyalty card numbers (you can find these usually on the back of your cards)
• Click and add ecoupons to your account
• Go shopping and when you purchase an item that had a Savings Star coupon, the coupon amount will be paid back to you!
• When you get $5 or more in your account cash it out for cash via Paypal, your bank account or for Amazon gift cards!

Currently they have a BUNCH of the coupons that are part of the Mega Event!
