This Week's Kroger Deals--3/3-3/9

*contented sigh*  It's nice to be back on this blog again!  I always take a three-month hiatus after having a baby, i.e. three months of expecting NOTHING from myself when it comes to outside commitments or projects.  Well, this time it was more like four months--but who's counting?

There are some GREAT deals at Kroger this week, so I wanted to do a post about them.  I recently did a couponing/saving money on your grocery bill session at my local MOPS group, so that has only heightened my awareness of just how much can be saved through savvy planning and couponing.  Please feel free to reply-post any deals you find that I haven't mentioned!

Note: 10/$10 does NOT mean you have to buy ten.  You can just buy one, for a dollar.  The "Buy 10, Save $5" promotion Kroger does about once every 4-6 weeks is different.  In that deal, you DO have to buy 10 participating items.

--------------------------------------------------
These are simply the advertised deals.  There are sure to be many more in the store, so be sure to bring ALL of your coupons with you in case you discover unexpected finds on the shelves or the ever-amazing Manager's Special bins!

There are many more deals in this week's Kroger ad, but I am only featuring the ones that really impressed me and/or met my "target price" for the item.  We rarely buy (because we can rarely afford) seafood, so I don't follow the prices on that.  But if you do, check out the ad because there were a LOT of advertised sales on fish, snow crab legs, shrimp, frozen filets, and more.

Happy shopping! :-)
