Hot Kroger deal on Pillsbury, other catalina deals, and THE MEGA SALE IS COMING!

January 24, 2010 by

In my Kroger weekly deals post this week, I posted about a “cheap”/moneymaker scenario for buying Pillsbury refrigerated bread products this week (crescent rolls, Grands!, sweet rolls, etc.).

Then, at the register the other day, I got a catalina outlining an awesome catalina deal that starts today! The sale at Kroger goes through Tuesday (this is for the Texas/Louisiana market), so this will work Monday and Tuesday ONLY (at the 10/$10 prices). Here are the catalina deals:

Buy any Pillsbury Refrigerated Baked Goods Between 1/25 and 2/21:
Buy 4, get $2 OYNO
Buy 5, get $3 OYNO
Buy 6 (or more), get $4 OYNO

Here’s the breakdown on the Pillsbury deal:

Pillsbury Grands biscuits, crescents, or cinnamon rolls – 10/$10 – free or very cheap with coupons!
.25/1 Pillsbury crescent rolls – 11-15 GM, , 11-22 SS, 12-13 GM (will triple)
.40/2 Pillsbury crescent rolls – 12-6 SS (will double)
$1/1 Pillsbury crescent rolls printable here (makes them free after coupon!)
$1/2 Pillsbury Grands Sweet Rolls printable here
.50/2 Pillsbury crescent rolls printable here (will double)
.30/2 Pillsbury Grands refrigerated biscuits printable here (will triple)
.35/3 Pillsbury Grands Jr biscuits printable here (will triple)
$1/2 Pillsbury Grands Sweet rolls loadable on shortcuts.com
$1/2 Pillsbury crescent rolls loadable on shortcuts.com
.30/2 Pillsbury Grands refrigerated biscuits loadable on shortcuts.com

SCENARIO:
Buy 2 Pillsbury crescent rolls – $1/each
Buy 2 Pillsbury Grands sweet rolls – $1/each
Buy 2 Pillsbury Grands refrigerated biscuits – $1/each

Use 2 $1 crescent rolls printables
Use $1/2 sweet rolls printable
Use .30/2 refrigerated Grands printable (will triple to $.90)
$1/2 Crescent rolls loadable
$1/2 sweet rolls loadable
.30/2 refrigerated biscuits loadable

Spend $0 OOP, get a $4 OYNO catalina!

If you don’t have the 2 $1 crescent roll printables (I’m guessing the print limit has been met already…I printed mine awhile ago), you can still use the $.25/1 coupons which will triple and it works out almost as well! You pay about $.30 OOP (if you have the loadables)

OTHER CATALINA DEALS:

Save up to $3 on a Future Purchase of Beef or Chicken With Coupon ~ Purchase any Old El Paso taco shells, dinner kits, seasoning, refried beans or Heat & Serve side dishes between 1/25 and 2/21

-Save $1 on your next beef or chicken purchase when you buy 3
-Save $3 on your next beef or chicken purchase when you buy 6

There are peelie coupons where you buy 2 Old El Paso products and get a free seasoning packet. There is also a loadable coupon for $.50 off any Old El Paso product on cellfire.com

Here’s the cheapest way to do this:
Buy 6 taco seasoning packets (~ $.74/each)

Use 2 B2G1 free peelie coupons (if you have them)
Use $.50 Cellfire loadable

Spend $2.46 OOP, get $3 off your next beef or chicken purchase!

(There is also a coupon booklet at Randalls/Safeway stores that has a store coupon for $.50 off Old El Paso taco shells. If you buy 4 taco shells and 2 seasoning and use 4 $.50 coupons and the peelies, this ends up being a good deal too!)

In other news, based on postings I have seen from areas where the Kroger sales start on Sundays, it looks like the Mega sale is coming after all! If you’re not familiar with the Mega sale, you buy 10 participating items and get an instant $5 off. Check out my January 2009 Mega Sale scenarios for more information.

Here are a few of the deals I have seen, so you can stock up on coupons:

*Chex Mix – Print the $.50 Chex Mix printable and make sure you have loaded the coupons at cellfire.com and shortcuts.com and it will be FREE (if your store doubles or $.49 otherwise)

*Daisy sour cream – this will be $.49 after coupons – there are $.50 coupons which should double on eBay (check the location that it will be shipping from because these expire on 1/31)

*Electrasol/Finish Gel Tabs – $.49 after the $2.50 insert coupon (eBay’s your best bet for these, but they expire on 1-31, so make sure you find someone to ship who lives close and has good feedback!)

*French’s Classic Yellow Mustard – will be $.19 after coupons (if your stores double) – print the $.50 coupon or use the $.50 coupon from the 1-24 inserts (My Coupon Hunter still has some!)

*I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter – print the $1 coupon here (IE) or here (FF) and get it for FREE!

*Kraft cheese – will be $.49 after coupons – you want to print as many of the $1/2 Kraft cheese printables as you can and they also still have some available on My Coupon Hunter

*Mission Tortillas – will be $.74/each with the coupon from the 1-10 inserts (My Coupon Hunter has them)

*Quaker Quakes – will be $.24 if you have the $.75/1 coupons from the 1-10 RP insert (you will have to look to ebay for these

*Rotel – if your stores double or triple, it will be FREE after coupons (or .19 otherwise) – you want to get the $.30/1 coupon which was in yesterday’s inserts (these are also available on My Coupon Hunter)

*Sargento String cheese – Use the $.50/1 coupon from the 1-3 SS insert and it will be FREE (if your stores double or $.49 otherwise)! (My Coupon Hunter still has these available)
