Free Through This Wednesday at Kroger or Tom Thumb/Safeway/Randall’s
If you clipped coupons this past Sunday, you can get the following items free:
French’s Classic Yellow Mustard (8oz.)
Reynolds Baking Cups (50ct.)
Kroger also has Hungry Jack Easy Mash’d Potatoes (3.5oz.) for free with this week’s coupon.
Only purchase one of each per transaction. This way all your coupons will be doubled. These stores only double the first of like coupons. So if you try to buy 10 mustards with 10 coupons in one transaction, only the first mustard will actually be free. Same with the baking cups. I made 10 separate transactions and only went through the line once. I had a very understanding and patient cashier. However, I still break out into a sweat each time I hold up the line like that.
I should tell you the stores won’t allow you to have a negative or $0.00 total, you will have to buy something else with each transaction.
Isn’t coupon shopping great?

Most Krogers in the DFW area will actually double/triple up to 3 identical coupons. Their stated policy is that they’ll only do 1, but their computers are programmed to do 3. Unless, of course, you get the coupon Nazi who manually reverses the tripling of the second two coupons. I actually had this happen once. Only once, mind you. But they have to punch in a bunch of buttons to un-do this. Anyhow, I typically buy in groups of three at Kroger. Today I did 2 separate transactions, each one with three identical coupons for the Reynolds baking cups. (I could have gotten more, but I have several already in the pantry. Too much mustard on hand, too.) Anyhow, for future reference, you might be able to do 3-4 transactions at Kroger instead of 10. Just sayin’.
I also tend to find great produce mark-downs at my Kroger. Today I found 3 Dole clamshell salads marked down to 99 cents each. I used my recent Dole coupons to get all three for free! Over-ripe bananas were in big bags for $0.49 each. I bought 2 huge bags for banana bread, muffins, etc… Then I found red bell peppers, three to a bag marked down to $1.00. I bought two bags of these. Finally, they had baby carrots on manager’s special for 99 cents each. Not exactly a price to make you break out in an adrenaline rush, but not shabby. I bought two of these, also.
FYI, I’m always warning the people who line up behind me that I have loads of coupons. I hate for people to unwittingly get stuck behind me. If they stay, that’s their business. But I’ve given them fair warning. Especially when I have multiple transactions. God bless those patient cashiers.
Oh, by the way, Lisa….in all of my cereal purchases last week, I got 4 boxes of Raisin Bran to keep me in business with that Bran Muffin recipe you sent me a couple of weeks ago. My kids devour those things.

Lisa D.thanks for adding your comments. I have gleaned so much from your knowledge! I am hopeful that I will find some great sales this coming weekend when I head to Dallas!
