Kroger Movie tickets promotion ~ Another scenario

April 10, 2010 by

Kroger has a promotion right now where you can receive a free movie ticket (or 15 free music or ringtone downloads) for purchasing 10 participating items.  I have read online that different stores in the Kroger family have different participating items, so please check your ad for details!

Here’s another scenario to “work” this deal:

Sobe Lifewater is 10/$10 and is included in the promotion! There is a Buy One, Get one free Sobe printable here and a Buy One, Get One Free Sobe printable here (thanks Jane!) You should be able to print two of each per computer. If you can get your hands on five, here’s a scenario for you:

Buy 10 Sobe Lifewater – $10

Use 5 BOGO free printables

Spend $5 OOP, get a catalina for a free movie ticket! (that’s almost half the price of a movie ticket)

Here’s the breakdown of what I did earlier this week:

Buy 5 Snuggle fabric softener sheets – $3.50/each
Buy 5 Uncle Ben’s 90 minute Ready Rice packets – $1.69/each (love these things!)

Use 5 $3/1 Snuggle fabric softener coupons (3-28 RP) 
Use 5 $1/1 Uncle Ben’s rice coupons (2-21 RP)

Spent $5.95 OOP, earned a catalina with a code for a free movie ticket! (that’s less than I would have spent on the movie ticket alone and I got 10 other items we really needed…also, I’ve had several people ask if it’s “worth it” to buy multiples of coupons and this trip alone should show that it is!)

Target deals for the week of 4/4

April 7, 2010 by

Keep in mind that pricing may vary by area.

NEW AT TARGET: Electronics trade-in ~ Trade in your new or used iPod or iPhone for a Target gift card.

Get Text Alerts from Target: receive coupons, deals, and weekly ad reminders on your mobile phone – use a barcode that can be scanned at check-out for multiple one time only coupon deals throughout the month.  The text alerts for mobile coupons appear to be released on Sundays and appear to be valid for one week only (when the new round is released on Sundays, the old round disappears).

Target now offers price matching. You can check out their policy here.

At Target, you can use one Target coupon and one manufacturer’s coupon per item. The printable Target coupons now state “one per transaction” meaning you can only use one “like” coupon per transaction. The Target coupons from the inserts do not have this wording and neither do the Target toy coupons. You can read/print their coupon policy here.

They are also offering a .05 credit when you bring in your own reusable shopping bag!
