My Grocery Bill was $203, I paid $25 ! Fry’s Deals for 3/16-3/22

Fry’s / Kroger Deals for 3/16-3/22

At Fry’s all coupons less than $1 are rounded up to $1. Coupons over $1 are valued at facevalue.

CURRENTLY (Though not always) Fry’s in accepting competitor coupons. BUT, if it’s like $10 off $50 (example Fresh & Easy) it is taken off AFTER all other coupons and discounts (BOO). They only accept coupons for grocery / health / beauty not homegoods. Competitor coupons accepted: WalMart, Fresh & Easy, Bashas, Albertsons, Safeway, Sprouts, Whole Foods, AJs, Target, Trader Joes, Food City, Ranch Market and Sunflower Market.

USE THIS FRESH & EASY COUPON $10 off $50, if you can. Expires 3/21

This current sale is a MEGA sale, so you must by 10 things to get $5 off (the sale price on the flyer). You can mix and match all the sales. You don’t have to buy 10 cereals, etc, you can by 2 cereals, 5 cheese, 3 drinks etc. It’s a little annoying because you HAVE to make sure you have 10 of everything to get the mega sale price.

Today I had 7 groups of 10, so 70 items. I checked and double checked!

Sometimes you can even MAKE MONEY back on coupons (i.e. something is on sale for .49 cents, you have a $1.00 off coupon, you just made .50 cents, and that goes towards the rest of your purchase or if you’re really amazing sometimes they’ll pay you! but most stores will adjust the coupon value as to avoid paying you, find out what their rules are).

Here are some of the deals I used today – (Remember these are all when you buy 10 mix and match)

My Coupon Lady

My Favorite site for all deals at many stores is Stretching a Buck, she usually has great deals for Target.

Don’t get overwhelmed, just chose 1 store and work with that till you have it down, before you move on to another store. It can be too much to go to 5 stores at once.

22 Boxes of Pasta for FREE

3 Sunny D’s for FREE
