    One of the things our family has started doing is buying meat in bulk and then making several meals over the next few days with that meat in smaller portions. Often we will cook it all up on sunday and then refridgerate it and use it through out the week. Time saver too!

    Sydni said...

    I love combining sales with paper coupons and the e-coupons that I load on my Kroger card. Last week I spent $30 and saved $75 on my shopping trip!

    I too love that I can load e-coupons onto my Kroger card. No need to clip!

    instead of buying canned beans for chili and soups, I buy dry and soak and freeze them when softened for easy use. I buy bulk meat- or at eleast discounted and freeze immediately. mrs.mommyyatgmaildotcom

    Love the idea of loading your coupons onto your savings card-- I hate fumbling with paper coupons.

    Jessica said...

    My current favorite way to save at Krogers is to use my card at their gas station. I can fill up car with 10 cents off per gallon for every $100 I spend on groceries. I didn't know about the e-coupons, though. I will definitely have to try that one!

    Barbara Bee said...

    Fred Meyer (a Kroger company) is always one of the cheapest places to buy gas here, even at full price. I like the fact that they offer me a 3 cent discount just for having a card with them, and a 10 cent discount if I spend $$$ in the store that month. It's a huge savings for me.

    the fuel rewards program allowed me to finally buy gas for under two dollars last week. What a great program. buy $100 with your kroger's card and you get ten cents a gallon off. Then if you use your kroger credit card you can take fifteen cents off instead of ten. that's a great deal

    I add the Shortcuts coupons to my card as well as clip paper coupons in every Sunday paper. You can use both together for the same products!! I do the P&G ones, too and I definitely fill up the gas tank on the way out to get my 10c off per gallon.

    Jean said...

    I save the P&G coupons to my card (love that feature) and I print the ones they have online as well as clipping coupons from the Sunday paper. Every little bit helps!

    I have their ad mailed to me, clip coupons from the ad and save coupons at home as well. Then I combine them and often get things free.

    I linked to your site.

    I shop on the first Wed. of the month. It is Senior Citizen discount day, and I save an extra 10% in addition to sale items and coupons.

    Mandy said...

    I can't begin to tell you how much money we have saved by doing our grocery shopping exclusively at Kroger. The coupons by mail and saving on gas are just a couple of the reasons they can't be beat!

    Same as the others: I combine the savings from my kroger check card with the preloaded internet coupons. Very convenient and fast.

    I love their Kroger Plus Card, they track what I buy on a regular basis and then send me coupons for those items! Plus the more you spend, the less you pay for gas through them.

    I also love that they let you use the online coupons and tag them to your Kroger card so you're not using paper. And when they double the coupons too - always great!

    I'm a real coupon-clipper, but it takes so much time. I love the downloadable ones. But that's just the tip of the iceburg. I had no idea that I could get three months of my prescription for $10! I've been paying $40 a month! That alone will cut my costs $440 dollars a year.

    They always have manager specials, we get alot of those, and I usually clip coupons, but now (I haven't done it yet, but I will) you can go online, click coupons you want, they go onto your Kroger card and when you scan it at the checkout, the coupons come off your bill! I like that because there is no more clipping.

    The best thing is to use the shopper's card at Kroger. Not only do you get immediate savings, but they also frequently send out coupons that are targeted to items you frequently purchase. Also, you get fuel discounts. Many ways to save!

    Anonymous said...

    My favorite way to save is one Kroger did not list but other comments have mentioned. Kroger will send targeted coupons quarterly based on items I've purchased that have been tracked using my Kroger card. Free water, cereal and store coupons on the brands that I use. Awesome!

    My favorite thing is loading coupons onto the loyalty card. Second is the fuel savings and third is the customer service. I do love Kroger stores.

    Tammy said...

    One of my favorite savings tip is to price match - I gather all the flyers circle the best prices on the items, and then buy everything at one store that price matches, much simpler doing one trip, instead of visiting every store. I spend less to, because if I entered each store to get the deal, I'd probably buy something else as well!

    zanicole said...

    My kroger card is the first way to save. Also, their website has coupons you can print -- which helps, because I don't get the paper. :)

    Heather said...

    Planning meals in advance and shopping from a complete grocery list saves SO much money in "quick trips to the store" or spontaneous purchases. I make a game out of it and NEVER buy anything that isn't on my list.
