My favorite sale item from this week’s Mega Savings Event is SunnyD Juice or Smoothies for $0.88. I have alot of $0.25 coupons clipped from magazines that will triple at Kroger. Each bottle will only cost me $0.13! *Thanks* for the giveaway!
Wow — it looks like most of the Mr. Linky submissions have nothing to do with the Mega Savings Event. I hope they don’t count as entries.

My fave deal is five 4-packs of yogurt with $1.25 coupons and five boxes of granola bars with coupons off for those as well. With Cellfire and Shortcuts coupons as well for the granola bars, the $5 back for buying ten participating items, and $3.50 back for buying the 5 granola products…I made out like a bandit!!
Nikki
My fav item is the Betty Crocker Fruit Snacks! What a deal. And you can use the shortcuts coupons along with printables. My son LOVES these.

I am loving the cheap Betty Crocker Fruit Snacks! I really stock up for us & our school! Seriously, you can buy over a dozen boxes for the same price of one regularly priced box.
Here’s the scenario from my Kroger Matchups.
BUY 5 BOXES OF FRUIT SNACKS & USE 5 OF THE $.40/1 COUPONS
5 x $1.68 = $8.40 then minus $.40/1 Q’s doubled to $.80/1 x 5 = $4.00 off
Pay $4.40 out of pocket and get back $3.50 catalina back for your next order
So, you’ve paid $.18 per box of fruit snacks. Can you believe that?!
*Tip: You need to do this w/only 5 boxes & have 5 other Mega items to get the savings!

What kid doesn’t love the gummy snacks in their lunch ? Buy them while they’re hot!
Beth
My favorite is probably the Betty Crocker fruit snacks because we go through TONS of those with school lunches and everything. The best coupon match up I see is the SoBe Life Water B1G1, which makes that a $$ maker! Thanks for another awesome giveaway!
