Kroger: Amazing deals this week

Earlier this week I heard about some amazing deals at Kroger, but was disappointed to find the deals at my own store rather measly. However, I was quite thrilled to see this week's flier, and realize that they're now doing the promotion here. And I heard a rumor that it's continuing until around April 13, so keep your eyes open...

The sales are listed below, with a huge thanks to Stretching a Buck. For more details, check out the full post by clicking here. For more coupon match-ups, stop by The New Frugal Mom.

If I am reading the ad correctly, the Mega Mix & Match works like this: if you purchase 10 participating items, you get $5 off your order. You can work this deal 3 times per transaction. All of the sale prices listed below are AFTER the $5 off. I am hoping to go to Kroger today or tomorrow, and will post any tips or issues I had if any.

Sundry deals & ideas

There have been several blog posts that have caught my eye recently, and I thought I'd share them with y'all...

Eating Out Cheaper from Extremely Frugal:

Authentic ethnic restaurants usually have good food cheaper than well known restaurants, even if they're local. Don't confuse "authentic" with "well marketed." The truly authentic may not be in the best part of town. It's usually well worth the effort of tracking down a real ethnic restaurant.

Kroger: Cheap razors

If you have a Kroger in your area, you might check for Gillette Fusion Phenom razors on clearance. My local store had the manual ones for $4.50. Combine this with the $4 P&G coupons that expired on 3/31 (Kroger usually takes coupons for two weeks after their expiration), and you'll have razors for $.50!
