Shopping Example – Smith’s/Kroger Mega Event Sale

Kroger stores nationwide (Smith’s here in Utah) are having another Mega Event sale – Buy 10 items, save $5 instantly. This mega event will go on for one more week (depending on your regional ad cycle), so if you’re like me and you haven’t had a chance to shop the sale before now, no need to panic – you’ll have one more week to grab some of these great deals.

There are actually several FREE items for this sale – free pasta, free Propel, free potato chips, free toothbrushes and free Nivea body wash. The toothbrushes, potato chips and body wash have been VERY hard to find in stock here in Utah. But my store was fully stocked on all of the pastas today, except for the American Beauty Quick Cook.

And if you don’t do coupons, it’s STILL a great time to stock up on pasta. The Ronzoni and American Beauty brands are on sale for .99. When you buy 10, or as part of a group of 10 other participating items, you’ll get the pasta for only .49!! It has a long shelf-life, and is a great item to donate for food drives. And don’t be afraid to give the Ronzoni Garden Delight stuff a try – my family actually really likes it (and I have some very picky eaters)!
