Check out your local one to see if they are or just come on out to Bellevue! They triple coupons up to .99 with a limit of 20 triples per visit. However, you can use more than 20 coupons if the others are worth $1 or more (I used at least 30). Kroger is also having a Mega Sale this week! You buy 10 participating items which are already on sale for great prices and get $5 off instantly at checkout. You can do as many of these groupings as you like. I did 3 last night and got 3 $5 discounts. I also had coupons for a lot of the items that were on sale. I got several things for free or less than $1. With my sales, $5 bonuses and triple coupons I <em>saved</em> $117.20. I <em>spent</em> $86.59. It would have been less if I would have remembered to use that pesky free lunch meat coupon! Oh well, I'll use it later.
