You’re right about the 12 month Club deal – I’d like to add that I bought it because right now most of the KC area participating restaurants are sold out of the $25 certificates,
and by the time the first of each month rolls around that 80% code has already disappeared. So you can use this
12 month deal to lock in the 80% discount and be able to use it to buy your favorite restaurant’s coupons once they’re restocked!
Eric in OP (also KCJohnGalt on SD)
Option 2 – buy a gift certificate
But if that’s too many certificates for you, follow Leonidas’ suggestion: Always buy it as a $25 gift coupon. You can convert it to a restaurant of your choice when you decide to eat out. This is how I stock up during the 80% off deals.

My son wants an Ipod touch for his birthday. What would be the cheapest route to get one? Going through ebates or something like that?
Thanks
Hello Pam! Well, I’m not big on techie stuff so I recommend that you research the best deal online, but before you order anything make sure you then research the best cash back offer – Ebates or ShopAtHome.
Katarina, What do you mean by SS 6/6. I am trying to get colgate from cs for free but I am not able to find the coupons.. Please let me know… I tried to see smart source but I cant find it now.. I even was loooking for coupons on 6/6.. i never saw the colgate coupon..
Hi Meena. 6/6 SS means the coupon comes from the Smartsource insert in the June 6th newspaper. If you don’t see it, you may have not received it in your paper. Coupons are VERY regional…we all don’t get the same ones each week.
Hi Katarina
I shop the Fremont WalMart but have avoided it for the last month because of an unpleasant shopping trip with internet coupons. All my coupons come from company sites or the coupons.com. I spent a lot of time in line and they finally accepted some of my coupons. I asked to see the stack that were sent back to them. I know that at least two of them were from company sites because I had printed them as well. Curious to know if you have had a similar experience and if you know what their current stand is on accepting these coupons. The last I heard was it depended on which manager was there at the time. Thanks!
Hi Amy!
I have had MANY issue with Walmart taking internet printables. They told me they were only accepting coupons printed from coupons.com and that the coupon had to have the tiny wording all the way around the perimeter…okaaaaay………
I contacted the district manager and she had no idea they were doing this. She was going to look into it and call me back. Of course, I never received a phone call. The last time I went in, they accepted ALL of my internet printables (after a quick huddle with the customer service managers on floor). I assumed the issue had been taken care of, at least in Fremont. I would give them another try…they seemed to have lightened up a bit.
I found a great deal on beer. Now, I don’t know if this is just the gas station I go to, or if it is a manufacturer’s thing,. But I think it’s worth looking into, even if you only drink on occassion, like myself. The local gas station had Labatt’s ICE 1 pint 8oz. cans for 1.10. each. I figured out that there are two twelve oz. cans in one of those large cans, and it equals out to $6.60 a twelve pack if the cans were actually divided in two.(6 cans equals a twelve pack, in other words.) And it is good tasting beer. I haven’t seen ANY beer for under seven bucks a twelve pack, anywhere. Just thought it might be worth mentioning. Check your local gas stations.
Hi Katarina, Just got an email from My Free Samples, and they have a coupon for free Snikiddy Snacks..and you can print as many as you like.! Go to http:www.myfreeproductsamples.com And go to the foods link. I just printed off about six. I would sent you email thru the above link, but my computer won’t allow it. Don’t know why. Barb

I just wanted to take the time to say a big Thank You!!!! I am a homemaker and mother of 5 so couponing is a must in our house. Your website is a big help for me and I appreciate all the time you put into it! Merry Christmas!!
Thank you so much for saying that Jennifer! Glad to help!
Just curious about the swidget. I don’t see it on your site anymore. It’s where I always checked to see if there was a swag code out. Do you no longer have it?
Hi Christie, I totally forgot to add that when I got my site redesigned…thanks for the reminder. I just added it for ya!
Thanks so much!
but just signed with you. i went to walgreens and found the mickey mouse light up shirts but they are 9.99 and you said i could get for .80 please tell me how im new at this and also from n.o. living here now thats
Debbie…you must have me confused with someone else…I did not post that deal. I saw it on a couple other blogs, and I’m sure it’s regional. Not all clearance deals are the same.
I’m in the market for some Grubex and Spring/Summer Fertilizer…are there ever coupons out there for that? If not, what’s the best time to buy lawn treatment products and where? Appreciate the comments!
Need some advice!
When does the Sandusky Target do their toy department markdown?
TIA!
when a coupon says its available via ss then is followed by a date, what does the ss stand for???
Hi Shelly. SS stands for Smartsource. So if it says 1/8 SS, then the coupon was found in the Smartsource insert that came in the January 8th newspaper. You can read more about the abbreviations I use here: http://couponkatarina.com/couponing-for-newbies/commonly-used-coupon-abbreviations/.

Are you still posting the online WW meetings?

Lowes Foods have them on sale this coming week buy 2 get 3 free for the 12 pk. 16.9 oz bottles. Can you PLEASE help? Thanks so much. Love your website!!!!!
Hi Katarina! I live in the Westerville, OH (Close to Columbus) area and all of my stores here double coupons up to 0.99 (Kroger and Meijer)! I know that in your ad match-ups, your math is for doubling up to 0.50, but I was wondering if you knew of anybody that has match-ups for up to 0.99? Thanks!
Hello. I’m just trying to figure out why your post don’t show up on my FB feed anymore
. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
Victoria, read this post: http://couponkatarina.com/2012/02/want-to-see-all-of-my-facebook-posts-try-these-tips-2/

I am having a problem finding the spectracide coupon any help would be great tytyty
Hi Jamie, that coupon has reached it’s print limit and is no longer available. I will repost if it makes a reappearance.
Just want to let you know that I LOVE the change! Since I do most of my shopping at Kroger anyway, this is perfect. I check your site several times a day and find great deals that I otherwise wouldn’t know about. I don’t know how you do it all but thank you for all your hard work.
Thanks so much Sherry…glad you’re loving the Kroger theme. I am loving it too. Leaves me so much more time than I had before.
Are you only showing Kroger information now, when I started following you you had such a robust site and all I see anymore is Kroger which is ok but…
Marianne, you must have missed my announcement. You can read all about my decision here: http://couponkatarina.com/2012/05/coupon-katarina-as-you-know-it/
King Soopers (Kroger) has the Mentos gum 15 pack as part of the mega deal a couple of weeks back there was a coupon for $1 off 3. this makes them 17 cents each if you do a mega deal.
I don’t have Kroger’s in Southern California but a Ralph’s which is owned by Kroger’s. Ralph’s does not double coupons or so I’m told is this your experience as well? Just curious. Thanks for a great blog, very informative and helpful. Sincerely Pauline
Just a question about the dial soap coupon. I thought when it said “and” you had to buy both. Would you have to buy a liquid or foaming soap “and” the bars to use the coupon? Thanks for clarifying
Amanda, while the wording on this coupon DOES suggest that with the use of the & symbol…several people have tested the coupon (including me) and the coupon is only coded for ONE product. I purchased ONE dial handsoap and the coupon went right through…no beeps. Hope that helps!
Katarina,
Thank you so much for the information! I love your site.
I was wondering what NLA means?
Jeanie, it means No Longer Available. I will put that after a printable coupon that I have posted recently that is not available to print anymore, but that most of you should have printed when I originally posted.
hi…
I want to ask you I saw the digital coupon from Kroger said that “FREE Glade® Expressions® Fragrance Mist Refill ” When you buy ONE (1) Glade® Expressions® Fragrance Mist Starter,
so if ….I have a coupon from Newspaper said : FREE Glade® Expressions® Fragrance Mist Starter ” When you buy ONE (1) Glade® Expressions® Fragrance Mist Refill…
Is it mean free or not??? I’m a newbies for this coupon.Thks alot for your help.
Natalin, since both of these are the same manufacturer coupon…technically no, you can’t do that. Most registers are now programmed to “beep” if you have a duplicate digital coupon loaded to your shopper’s card. The digital coupon will take preference over the paper coupon and you won’t be able to use the paper coupon.
Hello there! I found your site like 3 days ago and I must say I saved a lot already reading your posts.I got the power bar bites??on sale at our smith’s store—which is a Kroger affiliate—for .53 cents WYB 10 I used 2 $1 MQs and paid $3.30,I got $3 Catalina too.Thanks so much for all your hardwork!
Welcome to my blog Claudette! Thanks for commenting!
I found your blog while searching for a blog that provides Kroger coupon matchups for the Delta Region (Mississippi). Our sales run Wednesday through Tuesday. Are you aware of any blogs that offer those matchups – i found a few blogs but it seems that the latest posts are very old. If I could find a place to preview the ad in advance of the sale, I could attempt to ad match my coupons. Any advice is much appreciated. You do great work on you blog – thanks!
Melinda, I am in west Tennessee and am having the same problem finding matchips for Kroger Delta. I work full time and have a toddler and find it hard to have time to coupon without a site to give me matchups.
I bought 10 Smart Ones meals yesterday (11/3/12) and received a 1.00 OYO…..that deal is still in effect for this week as well
thanks Ashley!
i am new to this site i do not have a printer am i able to print only what i like?also
i am having trouble becoming a member,please get back to me thanks
I have seeing several coupons on your site like the cheezits etc. but I click to get them and I can not get it to print. Is there something else that I need to do. I see good coupons all the time and can not get them. Please help me I need to get what I can. Thanks
Did you see the coupon for FREE Wolfgang Puck Iced Coffee?
John, Yep! Posted that 2 days ago and again today to remind everyone that you can print the coupon once per day!
http://www.krogerkrazy.com/2013/01/free-wolfgang-puck-iced-coffee-at-kroger/
Are the Catalina dates different in each area or are they pretty much the same dates in every area? How can I find out when the Reach floss Catalina begins in my area (Little Rock, AR)
Curious,
If it says FREE when I purchase 10 of the kroger mega event such as the healthy choice meals you just posted- do I need to print out 10 coupons> Im new to this and trying to figure it all out. Thanks! loveee this site
Hi, I have a question about using ibotta. This is the first time I have used it and when I try to take a picture of the receipt is just comes out like a gray blur is there a trick to this? Not really sure why this is happening? Any input would be helpful. Thanks!
I have a coupon question. If you are buying and product and have not paid for it yet can you open the package and use the coupon for that product at the time of check out? I know you can’t if it say’s (on your next shopping order). Thanks just want to be clear as mud on this!
Hi Missy, this is such a gray area that I thought I’d pose it to my readers on facebook. As you can see it became quite a hot topic and basically it boils down to a matter of opinion. Here are the responses that should help you make a decision regarding this: https://www.facebook.com/KrogerKrazy/posts/529930337040599?comment_id=6008598¬if_t=feed_comment
Thanks Katarina for putting this out there. I have had the opportunity to go to your facebook page and read all of the comments. OMG due they have a opinion one way or the other. I spoke with some of my girlfriends and they are of the opinion that you should be able to open it up and use it but after it scans.
I was wondering what is your take on this?
I wanted to know if you purchase enough products for several qualifying catalina’s for the same products will you get multiples for the same product?
Hi Katie! I have seen on several sites today that Kroger stores in Ohio and northern Kentucky will no longer be doubling up to 50 cents. Do you know if we will be affected here in northern Ohio? Sure hoping not. Thanks!
What am I doing wrong? Tomorrow will be my first big coupon shopping day, I love the 10 for $10 sales. So I figured I would do a test today. I failed. I had loaded a $1 off International Ice Coffee onto my Kroger card. I thought I could use that coupon plus a printed coupon on the item. The cashier said that I could only use the coupon on my card. Seriously?! I thought I had this figured out
As for tomorrow I have a few coupons for the Totino’s Pizza and Pillsbury Cinnamon Rolls. Now. The pizza- I have $1/4 on my card and a coupon for $1/5, can I use both of these? Which would make it 9 for $7?
As for the Pillsbury- I have .40/2 on my card and coupons .60/3 + .40/2 + .30/2. So I can get 9 for $7.30? I hope I’m right, if not I’m seriously lost.
I’m sure still confused on the stacking! Ahhhh!
Cassandra, you CAN NOT ever stack a digital coupon with a paper coupon. They are ALL* manufacturer coupons and so you can only use one or the other. You can read more about digital coupons here: http://www.krogerkrazy.com/2012/05/kroger-digital-coupons-questions-answered-my-recommendations/. And if you’re just getting started with Kroger couponing, you may want to read some of the posts from this category: http://www.krogerkrazy.com/category/couponing-for-newbies/. If you have any other specific questions, please feel free to ask!
*if it is a store coupon, it is for a STORE brand item…so there wouldn’t be a paper coupon to stack with those anyway.
just wondering if you had the ad for Fed 10th yet. A bunch of us at work are big Kroger nuts and we are plotting our next trips.
Thank you
sorry I ment Feb 10th
Hi Teresa, I did just receive the ad, but I was informed that I am not allowed to share it due to copyright laws.
I will have it posted first thing Sat morning.
So… am I just out of the loop here? Did I see something about Kroger will not be doubling coupons anymore? If so, is this all Kroger stores or just regional? When? If this is true it surely makes me an unhappy shopper
Teresa, they announced this for the Cincinnati region only. You can view my post here: http://www.krogerkrazy.com/2013/02/kroger-cincinnati-no-longer-doubling-coupons/
Hi
Just wondering with the new way Krogers is doing there digtal coupons if you load to your card you can not use paper one correct?
Thanks
Dottie, the policy hasn’t changed on this. You can NOT stack a paper coupon and a digital coupon. The digital coupon takes preference.
Hi,
Just wondering what region of the country you’re in. I’m in Cincinnati, OH and I’ve had trouble with alot of the Catalina deals. Maybe they are not in my market? Thanks.
Please warn everyone in the Cincinnati region that today is the last day that Kroger will be doubling coupons.
Hey, I love the site and wanted to get my name on the email list and it is telling me that your not doing that any more. Is that true? If not can u get me on your emailing list?
Hi Tangie, I am in the process of changing email subscription services. I will sign you up with the new one. Just activate your subscription when you see the email.
Just wanted to give a heads up that we just bought a Boy Scout coupon book for $5 and attached were 2 $5/$50 coupons for Kroger. Exp date was 5/31 and 7/31
This was the Memphis area.
Thanks for all your great information you share.
I printed coupons from different sites so I could get multiples of the same thing and at the register I got stuck with a office person running the register and she wouldn’t take two of my coupons because she said they were same. she then took my coupons and threw them away! Can they do that?
Hi Kat,
Everything okay? I miss coming here everyday for an update….starting to get worried.
I just found your site this morning. I am looking for some place that works with our Smiths store. Once in a while it has great sales, that need to be noticed with coupons, but other wise it isn’t a place I care to shop at. Does your site deal with ads from them. I think I have heard that Utah has stores that are called Kroger, but I don’t know if they run the same ad’s as our Smiths. Or do you know of a web site that does work with Smith’s ad’s. Thanks. I’m in Idaho
Hi Janice. Smith’s is a Kroger affiliated store, so you’ll find similar deals here, but there are differences AND your sale dates are behind ours. This blog will be a great one for matching up the actual sale ad, but not sure how many unadvertised deals they offer. http://www.cuckooforcoupondeals.com/category/weekly/smiths/
Hi I just have a general coupon question. I am wantinting to know if I can use the coupons generated by the catalina machine anywhere or do they have to be used at the store they came from? Thanks for your time.
I have a quick question…I was just at our Krogers here in Streator, Illinois and I tried to use the internet Green Giant veggie chips coupon for 50 cents off any 5 oz or larger bag. At the checkout the lady told me I couldn’t use the coupon because you cant use an internet coupon to get an item free…have you heard of this before? When I asked her about it I told her that I had used internet coupons in the past and never had any problems and when did this start….she said that it started a long time ago and I never should have been allowed to use them in the past.
Angela B, this is MISinformation and I would suggest taking it up with the manager. If that doesn’t work, try contacting corporate. It doesn’t matter how much you pay for the item…they still get reimbursed for the coupon.
