kroger match-ups 1/9-1/16

I've had a few people interested in saving some money at the grocery store this year so in order to help those out, I am doing some coupon match-ups!! I'll have a post on the beginning stages of how to coupon hopefully this week...

Here are the Kroger coupon match-ups for the week of 1/9-1/16. In case you aren't familiar with the Kroger coupon policy, here is everything you need to know.

Kroger Coupon Policy:

- Kroger reserves the right to limit no more than five (5) paper manufacturer coupons for the same product, each coupon value considered (1) coupon in the same transaction

- Limit one manufacturer coupon (paper or digital), per item purchased

- Expired coupons are not to be accepted

NOTE: The Store Manager has the right to accept, decline or limit the use of any coupon.

Internet Coupon Restrictions/PAH (print at home) Coupons

- "Free Item" internet coupons can be accepted if all purchase criteria is met

- Only one internet coupons per item will be accepted

- Only two internet coupons per manufacturer, per customer, per day

- Internet coupons that display characteristics below will not be accepted:

          - Blurry

          - Out of proportion

          - Do not scan properly

          - Appear to be altered in any way

Doubling

- Manufacturers' coupons 50 cents and below will automatically be doubled

- Doubling does not apply to the following coupons:

          - Free          - Retail Food Store Coupons

          - Kroger      - Electronic Coupons

          - Catalina    - Items prohibited by law

Personally, I have never had a problem with using coupons at my Kroger. If you have a problem, ask to speak to a store manager.

I am ONLY going to post the things that I think are good, great and excellent savings. Also, the match-ups that I am posting reflect the coupons that I currently have in my binder and may not necessarily reflect the coupon or quantity you may have in your coupon collection.

P&G MIX AND MATCH (Save $4 when  you buy 4 participating products)

Scenario #1:
Buy TWO Old Spice Body Wash - $6.98
Buy TWO Herbal Essences or Aussies Shampoo, Conditioner, or Styler - $5.98
TOTAL - $12.96
Use TWO $2.00 off ONE Old Spice Body Wash
Use TWO $1.00 off ONE Herbal Essence or Aussie product
TOTAL minus $4.00 (P&G MIX AND MATCH) minus $6.00 (total of coupons)

Final cost after coupons = $10.96 or $2.74 each (seems a little pricey but you also just bought a lot of toilet paper and paper towels as well as two large, good smelling body washes for the man/men in your life)

You can mix and match any of the P&G products they have in the ad (or any of the scenarios I listed. You can check the ad out online or from your newspaper. I would also suggest signing up for a Kroger card if you haven't already (I don't know how anyone shop's here without it). Also, go online to Kroger, sign up for an account and enter your Kroger card number so that you can add digital coupons to your card.

Digital coupons and paper coupons may not be combined on the purchase of a single item.

If there are ANY questions about this match-up or questions about coupons in general, feel free to post them here as I do read all of the comments. I am happy to help.


Love & Laughter,
