Kroger and Tom Thumb this week

Thought I'd go through and mention what jumps out at me from this week's ads. If you live in another area, your ad may be slightly different and you may have received different values on these coupons.

For coupon match-ups for the Texas Kroger ad, check here. Coupon match-ups can get kind of confusing - if you have any questions, let me know. Hotcouponworld doesn't have a Tom Thumb forum - I usually check Safeway or Randall's. If you do, remember that those stores have slightly different doubling/tripling policies.

If you're not familiar with coupon listings:

RP = Red Plum
SS = Smart Source
P&G = Procter & Gamble

If you have inserts and you're not sure what date they're from, just look along the spine of the insert. The date will be printed in teeny-tiny print. The papers the insert was in will also be written there. This is helpful for me, because we have two papers in the DFW area. If the insert lists both papers, then I know that it doesn't matter which paper I get for extras. If it just lists one (The Star-Telegram, for example), then I know that the Dallas inserts will be slightly different and usually that means the Dallas paper will have more coupons.

Kroger

The biggie is Wholly Salsa on sale Buy One Get One Free. The 4/19 SS insert has a Buy One Get One Free coupon as well as a $3 off of chips wyb Wholly Salsa coupon. That means you can get 2 free salsas and $3 off of chips (so free chips, too). How it works:

The store agrees to buy one if someone else does.
The manufacturer agrees to buy one if someone else does.
Since they both agree to those terms, I agree to take those two free salsas home.

I have never had a problem using a BOGO coupon on BOGO sale. However, some stores want you to purchase one to get the other two for free. If that happens, you might as well throw in one more. The register is programmed to ring one free for each one purchased. So buy one, get three free.

1 you purchase
1 store bogo
1 free with bogo q
1 store bogo

Again, I've never had that happen - but just in case you need the info.

Also, the 16 oz cheese is still 2/$5. My family apparently didn't read my blog to see that the cheese I bought last friday was supposed to last all month. I'll most likely buy a couple more packages on Tuesday.

Organic Braeburn apples are .99/lb - that's a great price.

There is a coupon for a $25 gift card with a transferred prescription, as well.

Other than that - kind of a blah week.

Tom Thumb

This is the last week for the Living Well promo.

I noticed that they have Quaker Quakes Rice Snacks marked as part of the promo - they are on sale for $1. The 3/29 RP had a $1/1 any Quaker Rice Snack - which makes it FREE and also takes $1 off of your $30 total for the Living Well promo.

Dial Hand Soap is $1 - FREE after the .35/1 (tripled) from the 3/8 SS. My Tom Thumb only lets me double/triple one like coupon per transaction. Check your store's policy before you head for the check-out.

Hass Avocados are .99 ea - that's the best price I'm seeing this season. Have any other Texans seen a better price on these?


I'm sure there are more deals - those are just what hit me at first glance. If you find more, feel free to share!

I'll check the Whole Foods ad, tomorrow, and let you know what I find. Happy Shopping!
