Attn Kroger Shoppers: Hot Deals thru Sunday!

Nadia — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 20:13:33 +0000

Saving money on groceries is top of mind these days, and with the Cart Buster Savings Event EXCLUSIVELY at Kroger and the Kroger Family of Stores, the prices are so low you can stock up on all your favorite brands without breaking the bank (though you might bust your cart!)

From now through March 14th, shop the Cart Buster Savings Event and find the hottest prices around on your favorite name-brand products in over 60 categories at the Kroger Family of Stores, which includes Kroger, Ralph´s, King Soopers, City Market, Dillons, Smith´s, Fry´s, QFC, Baker´s, Owen´s, Jay C Food Stores, Hilander, Gerbes, Food4Less, Pay Less Super Markets and Scott´s Food & Pharmacy. I had no clude that so many of these stores were Kroger stores! Here in Northern CA, it’s easy to scroll past a lot the grocery deals I find as “Not applicable” as we are limited in our grocery stores up here. However, I will be making a trip this weekend to our Food4Less to see what kind of deals I can score!

Here are just a few of the great brands participating in the event: Honey Nut Cheerios, Cinnamon Toast Crunch, Pillsbury, Betty Crocker, Hamburger Helper, Yoplait, Progresso, Totino´s, Green Giant, Cascadian Farm, Tide, Charmin, Bounty, Pampers, Pantene, Crest, Iams, Febreze, Old Spice and many more!

With all the coupons that have been available for these products lately, be sure to drop by your Kroger/Smith’s to see what kind of deals you an wrangle. But remember, this sale is only through Sunday, March 14, so hurry!

Disclaimer: I was provided with a gift card by Kroger and General Mills through MyBlogSpark. However, all opinions are my own!
