I love using electronic coupons loaded on my Kroger card. The down side is, you can only load one of each coupon on your card. So you can’t stockpile, but it is still a convienent way to get extra coupons. Yo can have up to 25 coupons loaded on your Kroger card at one time. My Krogers lets me use the electronic coupon and a paper coupon on the same item. The e-coupon doesn’t double, though.

Here are the sites I currently use:

Shortcuts
P & G E-saver
Cellfire

Cellfire lets you load grocery coupons on your Kroger card, as well as sending coupons for other stores right to your cell phone. I haven’t tried that yet, I don’t think my cell phone will accept pictures. C & H have newer cell phones, so one of these days, I’ll try theirs. The guys were interested in a Gamestop coupon that we saw on Cellfire. (like they need anymore games! lol)

And don’t forget to register your Kroger card online. They send out a booklet of coupons every month or so. I also get coupons for the items I normally use. They send them every 2 or 3 months, and I regularly get cuopons for free items, like Cheerios and granola bars, I have even gotten coupons for free eggs. The also usually send me coupons for butter. Since we only use butter, I really like those.

Gas prices are down, but around here they have gone up a little recently. I live in a rural area, and our local store with a gas station was charging $1.79 this morning for gas.

Normally, this is 10 cents higher than gas in the larger town where I go shopping. D also works in this town, so he lets me know where the good gas prices are. 🙂

I was very happy a few weeks ago when our Kroger put in gas pumps. You get 3 cents off every gallon every day with your Kroger card. You also get 1 point for every dollar you spend at Krogers. When you get one hundred points, you get 10 cents off every gallon of gas!

I have noticed that Krogers gives the points on the before coupons total, not the final total. So the points do add up quickly, and I usually only buy clearance and sale items at Kroger.

Today, for example, our local station was charging $1.79 a gallon, and I paid $1.58 a gallon at Krogers. I bought 15 1/2 gallons. So I saved $3.25 today, just by buying gas in town, instead of before I went to town. Gotta love that!

Krogers prices are competitive with other gas stations in town. For example, there are 2 gas stations right across the stree from my Krogers. Today, when had the same price as Krogers, and one was 10 cents higher.

So if you have a Krogers nearby, it would be worth comparing prices. You might be able to save a lot, too.
