Kroger Mega Event Run!

I had to make a run today and use up all those great Kraft and Capri Sun coupons that are expiring tomorrow! It is the most ideal time to use them as the Kraft Catalina deal is going on and it expires on the 15th. I also wanted to point out I used a lot of Kroger coupons that I get in the mail. When you sign up for a Kroger card, you should receive monthly booklets with coupons inside them.

 

For Kroger’s Mega Event you have to purchase items in quantities of 10 in order for this to work. If you want to know what is on the entire Mega Event list you can see a list of participators located next to the in store ads near the grocery carts. All of my prices reflect the $5 off the purchase of 10 Mega Event items.
