We have our first pictures in from the Mega Event! My friend Shasta had a great trip!

“Hey there! When I went to your coupon class at your house you mentioned a good couponer can save over 50% and I though no not me..I will never get there. I did today! Yahoo 70% savings I started out at $198 then after coupons and the mega deal I got down to $61.00  We did have one “sacrifice” for the trip. Its the picture of the tortillas my two year olds wanted to knaw one something. Suprisingly he didn’t break through the packaging. Oh also I don’t know if all other Krogers do this but the one I went to did the following: Boxes of mac n cheese for $.50 cents each. I had a buy 3 get one 1 free coupon. They entered the free box mac n cheese at the regular price of $1.19 a box so I got 4 boxes of mac and cheese for $.31 cents (50 cents x3-freebie at 1.19). Wahoo!”

My blogging friend Maryanne does a really nice job of match-ups on Mega Event items. Check out her list HERE through out the day.

Today I went through my list and Maryanne’s. I wrote down what I wanted most, and checked my coupons. Because I have been buying fewer papers I didn’t have the quantity of coupons that I normally do. So I went on Ebay and spent about $11 on coupons. I bought solo, dixie, hunts, gatorade, and quaker coupons. This will help me get my stockpile back up to what it was before Christmas. I figure that I will be saving over $100 with those coupons so it was worth it to me to buy them. You can also trade coupons with friends, if they need things you don’t, and you can purchase coupons at different coupon clipper sites on the internet. You are not paying for the coupons themselves, but for the time it takes an individual to cut them out and mail them to you.

I am Soooo Excited it is Mega Event again! This Monday I am going to post a Mr.Linky so you can post a picture of the great deals you get this week at Kroger! 


 Buy 10 participating items in one transaction and get $5.00 off or $0.50 off per item. In this match up, we will reflect the $0.50 discount! You need to buy in groups of 10 in order to get the discount! You DO NOT need to buy 10 of one item, you can mix and match! Thanks to My Dallas Mommy for these Match-ups!
