My favorite this week is probably the Fiber One bars. Even though I have gotten them a little cheaper before, I was almost out and they are a yummy way to help me get that fiber in my diet!
Bobbi Gonzales
We love Sobe life water. On sale at our store for 88 cents. I used the BOGO coupon to get these free!
Tina
I would purchase the sale items on breakfast foods to stock up. We have had family illness here and health care costs along with food costs have been tight – $30 goes a long way at Kroger with their sales – hope I win one!
Thanks for the opportunity!

I have been super excited about this sale since I read it rumored on AFC. So I’ve been planning. So far I’ve been able to get 40 sobe lifewaters for 3.97! I was able to come across an abundance of B1G1 cpns and paired that with the b10g5 deal and score sweetly!
Honey
I like the old el paso items because I needed refried beans. With an ecoupon it made for a great deal. Also liked the granola bars and fruit snacks. Thanks!
Loriane
I love the chex mix bars!! With the 60/1 printable coupon it maked them reallllly cheap!!! MMMM
Ashley
Fruit Snacks are at the top of my list!
Marie Hulquest
I love to get the cheap cereal (my kids love Fruity Cheerios) and NV Granola Bars. If I pair the Granola bars with the Mega Event, coupons and the catalina back for my next purchase… I have enough granola bars to last the school year :)
Jk Topp
Several great match ups. Using shortcuts to add to the savings, I think the brownies are a great buy.
Alesia
The fruit snack matchups listed are great and my kids love them. I’m new to all of this, so I really appreciate all the help I can get.
Rachel
Last week I spent $77 at the Mega Sales Event as saved $177. I love coupons!
Emily Robison
I am excited about the refried beans being so cheap! Taco night here we come! :)

My favorite sale item is the toaster strudel. We really love those at my house.
Mendy
I have many favorite sale items from this week…Betty Crocker cookie mixes, Betty Crocker Brownie mixes, Cereal, Pillsbury Toaster Strudels, Fiber One Chewy bars, and the list goes on and on! GREAT deals this week! $30 could go a LONG way with this sale!
Merrilee
My favorite is the Nature Valley Nut Clusters $1.99 after you buy 1o items. I had (2) each of $1/1 IP and $1/1 ecoupons so I got 2 bags for free! I don’t normally buy that stuff because it is too expensive, but I can handle free. :)
Jay H
I love SOBE Lifewater 0. THey have great flavors and with the couplns they were free.
Marie R
My favorite was the pepsi sodas and the hamburger helpers. Kroger has the best sales.
Linda Shifflett
Our family is really excited about the refried beans and fruit snacks. It would depend on which family member you asked.
Morganna
The hamburger helper is a great deal! Quick, fast and yummy!
Nikki
Stacy’s pita chips – on sale for 2.49, 1.99 after the Mega Savings event discount. I had a printable coupon for $1 off 1, and my Kroger doubles up to a $1 – so they were free! (Plus, I found some bags that include 33% more for free!)
Laura
Definitely the BC Fruit Snacks! I’m lucky that my Kroger will double coupons up to .50 (YAY for those of you that get better than that, but I will take what I can get), so that makes these a great deal! The shelves were empty last time I was there, so I followed a guy moving them from a different area of the store so I could stock up….LOL…Honest, Mr., I’m not stalking you for your fruit snacks.
Marie
Bought 10 Gatorades for free. Got my discount due to buying 10 and used previous reward cash receipts.
Bev Rossi
I would use the gift certificate to stock up on baby diapers. My first grandchild is due March 22, 2010.

I love buying the brownie and cookie mixes when they match up with a sale and coupon. The sugar cookie mix is a fun activity with my kids.
