Let's go Krogering!

There are so many reasons why Kroger is my favorite grocery store! I love the fact that Kroger gives .5 per reusable bag, double coupons up to .50 and you save .10/gallon on gas per $100 you spend each month. Each month I receive coupons in the mail from Kroger which may include a few free ones for items. Kroger also participates in coupons loaded to your card from http://www.shortcut.com/ and http://www.cellfire.com/.

Each time I go to Kroger I take 4-5 reusable bags/trip. This equates to .20- .25/trip off my bill and I usually make 4-5 trips a month which gives me a savings close to $52/year just for taking my bags!

You earn fuel points before coupons are deducted from your total. For example, my total today was $62 (with Kroger savings) which went toward my fuel points, but I only paid $43 OP after coupons.
