New Info about eCoupons @ Hilander/Kroger

While I was at Hilander this morning I learned something new from my cashier.  Kroger's registers were re-programmed around the 15th of the month to no longer allow the combination of an eCoupon and a manufacturer coupon on the same product, in the same transaction.  Of course, we all knew that this was part of their policy, but I had never had it enforced before. 

I learned this the hard way this morning, trying to stack multiple discounts.  The register kept beeping and the cashier at first couldn't figure out why, until she read the message on her screen, "coupon already used for this item".  I had to remove a couple items from my transactions, but then when I got out to my van, I realized that one had slipped by the register and gave me both the electronic discount and the manufacturer paper coupon.  All the coupons that wouldn't go through were P&G coupons that I was stacking, the one that got by the register was on French's spicy mustard.  Hmm, I wonder if this is a manufacturer restriction just on P&G products, or if it's across the board?  If it's ALL manufacturers, then why did this one slip through?!?  Report back here with a comment if you try to stack eCoupons and manny Q's with what worked and what didn't, and lets see if we can find the trend.

Hilander/Kroger 3/24 thru 3/30

Tara's list of Hilander/Kroger deals for the Mega Event last week is current and running again this week.  You can see her original post here.  If you have any new deals to add please leave a comment to share with others. 

I wanted to add a superb water deal that my frugal friend Nicole alerted me to.  The 24 pack cases of Nestle Pure Life water (our favorite) are on sale with the Mega Event for $2.79 (when buying 10 participating items).  There's a way to bring down your OOP even more though!  I searched high and low and there are no current manufacturer coupons available to use on this, but right now there is a national  Catalina promo running on Nestle Pure Life.  If you buy 4 cases of water in one transaction you will receive a $5 OYNO Catalina.  That brings down your OOP for each case to $1.54.  That's a steal for Nestle Pure Life, and the cheapest I have ever seen it.  The cheapest I have gotten this for with coupons is $2.38 a case at Walmart.  With summer right around the corner you can bet your bottom dollar that I am stocking up on these!  I rolled this deal once today, and I am thinking about going back for more.  This national Catalina runs thru 4/3/11 so if you can't get to a Kroger store, keep your eyes out for a great sale until 4/3. 

Hilander/Kroger March to Savings Sweepstakes

From now until March 30th you can play the "March to Savings" sweepstakes game daily to win lots of fun things!  Go here to sign in and enter.  There's up to 30,000 instant win prizes so you are sure to win something!  If you win, the prize is automatically loaded to your shopper card so you can redeem it the next time you shop.  Good Luck!

Perfect Baked Potatoes

Frugal Tara's post here for this week's Hilander/Kroger deals made me want to share this spectacular recipe for perfect baked potatoes.  We actually just had these for dinner last night and the potatoes were soo big that they were a meal in themselves!  Ours actually looked much more yummy than this one in the photo, but you get the idea.  My husband topped his with left-over chili I had made earlier in the week and it looked amazing. 

For years I struggled with making a baked potato just like you can get in a restaurant.  My skins would always come out soggy and the potato would be under cooked.  I always used my mom's method of wrapping them in aluminium foil to bake them.  One day I finally decided enough was enough and I searched for the perfect baked potato recipe online and I came across this one.  As soon as I tried it I knew this one was a keeper!  Now we have baked potatoes more often and I think they are better than any potato I have had in a restaurant.  Give this recipe a try, you won't be disappointed at all!

*UPDATED* Hilander/Kroger Deals for 12/30 thru 1/5

Tara, our Hilander expert, is out of town for the holidays so my frugal pal Nicole sent me a great list of some deals you can snatch up at Hilander this week.

Nicole writes:

There is a BIG Proctor & Gamble Sale running at Hilander this week. As long as you purchase any P&G items in multiples of 4 you get the discounted price of $1 off each item.  (Listed are products that Nicole purchased, but there are other P&G products participating in this sale)  You will need to head over here to load the electronic coupons to your Hilander Plus card before you head out to the store.

Prices listed are at the $1 discount for purchasing 4:

* Charmin 12 double rolls are $5.99 use the e-coupon for $3.00 off plus .25 off from the 11/28 or 12/26 PG which doubles to .50 = $2.49 (if you still have the P&G booklet from last year there's also a $1 off coupon in there making this an even better deal)

* Tide is $9.99 use the e-coupon for $1.00 off plus $1.00 off from 11/28 or 12/26 PG = $7.99

* Bounty is $5.99 use the e-coupon for $1.00 plus .25 from the 11/28 or 12/26 PG which doubles to .50 = $4.49

* Cascade is $4.99 use the e-coupon for .50 off plus .25 off from 11/28 or 12/26 PG which doubles to .50 = $3.99

* Duracell 10 pk  batteries are $4.99 use the e-coupon for $1.00 off plus $1.50 off from  11/14 RP or 12/12 RP = $2.49

* Febreze Air Effects are $1.79 use the e-coupon for $1.00 and the $1.00 coupon from 11/28 PG (exp. 12/31) = FREE with overage

* Crest w/Scope is $1.50 use the .50 coupon from 12/26 PG which doubles = .50

* Oral B toothbrushes are $1.50 use e-coupon for .75 plus .75 coupon from 11/28 or 12/26 PG = FREE

* Dawn Dish Detergent is $1.79 use the e-coupon for .50 plus .25 coupon from  11/28 or 12/26 PG which doubles = .79

* Purchase one Old Spice Deodorant for $1.29 and get body wash FREE with coupon from 12/26 PG

* Secret deodorant is $1.29 use coupon for .50 cents from 11/28 or 12/26 PG which doubles = .29

Remember if you purchase $50 of P&G products by 12/31/10 you can send in your receipt for this rebate and get more coupons :)  This sale stacks, which means you can do many multiples of 4 in a transaction - Nicole purchased 16 items in one transaction and received all the discounts. 

One other mentionable...Keebler crackers are on sale for $3 off if you buy 3. Pick up 5 boxes and use TWO of the the $1.00 off 2 coupon from the 11/14 or 12/12 RP inserts,  combine this with the e-coupon for $5 off 5 and you've got FREE crackers.  At $1.99 a box with the $5 e-coupon, $3 off sale for buying 3 and the TWO $1.00 off coupons you are actually making .05 on this one.  The pricing on this is incorrect, the $1.99 price already reflects the $3 discount for buying 3.  Thanks to Tara for pointing this out, glad to have you back Tara! 

Remember that the 11/28 PG coupons expire on 12/31 so if you intend on using those you will have to make a stop at Hilander/Kroger today or tomorrow.  This sale runs thru 1/5/11 and you can check out the entire sale ad here.

A Few More Hilander/Kroger Goodies

Frugal Tara had some great deals listed at Hilander this week, you can see her original post here.  When I went today I scored a few more goodies that I wanted to share with you. 

My frugal pal Melissa tipped me in on this Tide Stain release deal.  The 36 oz bottles are $7.49 right now, and there's a $3.00 off electronic coupon you can add to your Plus Card to stack with the $3.00 off manufacturer coupon from the 9/26 PG insert.  Makes these bottles $1.49 after coupons!

Frugal Melissa also alerted me to the money maker with Vicks Sinex.  If you stack the $4.00 off coupon from the 9/26 PG or the 10/10 PG inserts with the $4.00 electronic coupon loaded to your card you can "make" $1.71 on this one! Make sure you have enough in your cart to cover your overage.

Bumble Bee light tuna is still .99 a pouch, use the .55 coupon from the 9/12 SS to get these FREE when the coupon doubles.  You won't get overage on this one but FREE is still good!

Oreo cookies are part of the $5 instant savings sale (wyb 10 participating items).  Load the $1.00 off TWO electronic coupon to your Plus card to get additional savings on these.  If you were lucky enough to print the Nabisco monthly coupon available on Facebook at the beginning of each month you can get one FREE package when you purchase one package and a gallon of milk together.  The cashier will take off $2.99 for the FREE package, but it still counts toward one of your 10 items to get the $5 instant savings.  You get the .50 off each item for the sale and .50 off each item for the electronic coupon (in addition to a FREE package!).  The Double Stuff Oreos work for this too.

Idahoan potato pouches are $1.05 each right now, and if you buy 4 you get a Catalina coupon for $1.00 OYNO.  The great thing is that there's a $1.00 off coupon on the Idahoan Facebook page.  If you have access to TWO computers you can print this twice from each computer - just login to your Facebook account each time.  If you have 4 of these printables you pay .20 and get back $1 turning this into an .80 MM!! 

Playtex Gentle Glide tampons are on sale 2/$5 right now (with your Plus card).  If you printed the $2 off manufacturer coupons recently available you can get these for .50 a box.  If you don't have the $2 printable, there's a $1.50 off printable available here making these $1.00 a box.  UPDATE:  There's also a $2.00 off printable over at RedPlum!

Driscoll's raspberries are on sale for $1.00 each - and they are good!  This is a good price for these, get them while they are still in season and freeze them for smoothies or fancy desserts when they are not in season and super expensive. 

Don't forget to play the "Kick Off" savings game Tara mentioned here, I already won a FREE bottle of FUZE and a Nabisco "to go" cup!  If you have TWO Plus Cards play for both cards and don't forget you can load coupons on both cards too - just remember to split out into two transactions.

More Hilander/Kroger Goodies

If you are planning on heading to Hilander/Kroger to take advantage of some of the great deals Tara listed here, you may want to add a few more of these items to your list. 

Bumble Bee Light Tuna pouches are on sale for .99 each.  Bring along the .55 coupon from the 9/12 SS and you will get these FREE when your coupon doubles.  As Tara already pointed out, no overage on doubles at Hilander/Kroger - the register only doubles to the value of the item, but FREE is good too!

Smart Balance half gallon milk is $3.39.  Load the $2.00/1 coupon to your Plus Card here and combine that with the $2.00 off 1 coupon from the 9/12 RP to turn this into a MM.  You will "earn" .61 on this one!

Lastly, you might want to check your coupon binder for a home mailer coupon for $1.00 off any Charmin.  I had two of these in my binder, but I couldn't remember when I received them and where it came from.  If you have this coupon you will have an even better deal on the Charmin that Tara originally posted about.

A BIG Thanks to Tara for her original post - that helped my shopping out a bunch!

Hilander - Free Barilla Pasta and More!

If you are headed by Hilander this week (sales end Wednesday 9/22), there are a few things you might want to stop and pick up...

Barilla Pasta is on sale for $1. Use the .55/1 coupon from the 8/29 SS which will double to make this FREE (Hilander registers are smart about this and it will only double up to the ammount of the item, so no overage).

Kroger Buns & Bread are also on sale for $1 this week. Load the .20/1 coupon onto your card also on the Hilander website and get this for only $0.80.

Charmin Bath Tissue (12 double rolls or Basic 16 double rolls) is on sale for $5.99. Use the .25/1 ANY Charmin coupon from the 8/29 PG which will double AND load a $3/1 Charmin coupon on your card from the Hilander website. This is comes out to $2.49 for 16 double rolls.

Quaker Instant Oatmeal is still on sale for $1.98. Use the $1/1 coupon form the 9/12 RP and load a .50/1 coupon from the Hilander website onto your card to make this $0.48 for a box. The new Mix-Up Creations flavor is included in these coupons - my kids have loved this!

And lastly one more SoBe deal. SoBe's are on sale for $1. If you have any B1G1 coupons left from playing the game, pick up two of these and use the B1G1 coupon with a .50/2 coupon loaded on your card from the Hilander site. They will be $.50 for 2 or $.25 each - not free I know, but if your family is getting addicted to these like mine and you are running low this might be a good option.

Cheap Kids Toothbrushes @ Hilander/Kroger

First, I want to apologize for my lack of posts here lately.  I really haven't been shopping much so I haven't had much to post about.  I am hoping to get back in the swing of things over the next couple weeks so hopefully you will be hearing from me more often - I can't make any promises, but I will do my best to try to get some more tips and deals posted.  I do have a great frugal adventure to tell you about sometime soon....stay tuned for that!

I had to make a quick stop to pick up some of the essentials today so I decided to run into Hilander/Kroger since I also needed some things at another store nearby there.  Since I was just making a quick stop I decided to check out what Jill Catalado had listed on her site for the weekly deals at Hilander.  If you haven't already checked her posting you can see it here.  I wanted to pick up some of the GUM toothbrushes for .25 each, but they were all out of the individual toothbrushes priced at 10 for $10 (or $1 each). 

I looked around at the other GUM brushes and ran across an even better deal!  They also have the kids GUM toothbrushes on sale for 10 for $10 and what makes this a better deal is that there are TWO toothbrushes in each package.  Here's what they look like:

Pair this sale with the .75 coupon from the 8/8 RP and pay .25 for TWO toothbrushes, that's "almost" .13 each (.125 to be exact!)! 

Also, if you can't find any of the Reach toothbrushes that Jill mentions in her list, you can pick up the Reach floss priced at 10 for $10 using the same coupon, which will double to $1.00 making them FREE. 

I didn't find any other deals at Hilander because I really was only there for a few things, finding a deal like this made my trip worth it though - I know, the littlest things get me excited!  :)

Sobe Deal @ Kroger/Hilander

Frugal Tara has been at it again!  She scoped out this great deal on Sobe at Kroger/Hilander and wanted to share it with you.  She e-mailed this to me on Friday but I was out of town until today.  There's still time to get in on this great deal.  Tara writes:

Looking for a place to use your B1G1 Sobe coupons other than CVS ... Hilander is the place until Wednesday (8/18). They are included in the 8's event (buy 8 participating products and get $4 off instantly). So ...

Buy 8 Sobe at .99 each
Get $4 off for buying 8 items
Use 4 B1G1 coupons (this will either take off the .99 or 1.49, the non card price)
At least 8 FREE if not an approximate $2 MM!

Even better is to load a $2/10 Sobe coupon onto your card. Buy 10 Sobe and 6 other participating items and get an even bigger MM!

Other items included: Yoplait Delights, Yoplait Splitz, Golden Graham Bars, Chex Mix Bars, Nature Valley Granola Bars and Clusters, GoGurt, Sunny D, Chex Mix, Gardettos, Grands Biscuits, Crescent Rolls, and more - watch for card coupons matched with doubled manufacturers coupons - tons of freebies this week!

Thanks for sharing, Tara!!

Kroger/Hilander Body Wash MM's!

My frugal friend Tara wanted to share this with everyone, this deal works with some coupons that expire on 7/31 so you will have to hurry on this one!

Tara writes:

So, we all don't need any more men's body wash, but here are 2 MM's at Hilander...

Buy 4 Gilette BW at $2.99 each
Get $4 off for buying 4
Use 2 B1G1 coupons (this will either take off the $2.99 or or $4.29 the non card price)
Use 2 $2/1 coupons
This will be at least a $2 MM

Buy 4 Old Spice BW at $2.99 each
Get $4 off for buying 4
Use 2 B1G1 coupons (this again will take off either $2.99 or $3.27)
Use 2 $1/2 coupons
Load $2/2 OS onto card
Load $1/2 OS onto card (both will come off because there is 4 items)
Again at least a $3 MM

Be sure to have enough to cover the overage in your cart especially if they give you the non card price for the B1G1's. These coupons expire 7/31!

Thanks, Tara!! 

A Better Softsoap Deal!

My frugal friend Melissa pointed out to me today that there's a better way to use the .50 off Softsoap coupons I posted about here in my Wags deals of the week.  She reported that Softsoap is on sale at Kroger/Hilander for $1.00 each this week.  Using the .50 off coupon you will get these FREE because the coupon will double to $1.00!  There's also a .35 coupon in the 7/25 SS that would double to .70 making these .30 each.  A big Thanks to Melissa for letting me know! 

I also noted that Wal-mart has the Softsoap for .98 each.  The coupon won't double, but you will get these for .48 each there.  Also better than the Walgreens deal. 

I don't get the Kroger/Hilander sale flyer in my area so it's hard for me to keep up with the great deals there  -  I appreciate all my frugal friends reporting in!

School Supplies Catalina Promo at Kroger/Hilander

My frugal friend Tara has reported in on the current school supply Catalina running at Kroger/Hilander.  She reported that the Catalina is printing based on the pre-sale price, not the Plus card price.  That means that this Catalina is working just as all Catalina promos work at Jewel stores - get to the $ threshold by adding the shelf price rather than the Plus card price!  Here's the details:

Running 7/11/10 thru 8/21/10
Get $2 OYNO wyb $10
Get $4 OYNO wyb $20+

Brands included:
--Expo
--PaperMate

Participating school supplies items on sale this week:
Crayola Crayons (24 ct.), $0.25 
Paper Mate Pens (10 ct.), $0.33

At these prices, why not consider picking up some extras for your local school supply drive to help out those less fortunate?

Remember that the Mega Event is continuing this week so don't forget to check my post here for some of the great deals you can find!

Update: Capri Sun Catalina

I discovered today, by trial and error, that the Capri Sun Sunrise products are NOT part of the national Catalina for Capri Sun.  This means that you won't be able to use those $1.00 coupons from the shelf at Woodmans that I mentioned in my previous post about Hilander/Kroger.  Only certain flavors and varieties are part of the Catalina promo so watch for the little white Catalina promo tags when you are buying these.   I haven't run across a UPC list for this promo, but if I do I will update this post.

Hilander/Kroger Mega Event thru 7/28

Since the Hilander/Kroger Mega Event continues again this week thru 7/28 I wanted to point out a few really great deals that I scored there.  I took advantage of the Mega Event and the current Kraft national Catalina promo to double dip for some FREE and really cheap products.  If you want to check out the weekly ad online just go here.   You can also check out the previous post from my frugal friend Tara right here. 

Philadelphia Cream Cheese is .99 when you purchase 10 participating Mega Event items.  There's a $1.00 off printable coupon at Real Women of Philadelphia when you sign up (look in the lower right corner of the screen after sign-up).  Buy 5 of these, along with 5 other participating products, and use as many coupons as you can print.  With 5 coupons you turn these into a .05 MM and then you get a $5.00 OYNO Kraft Catalina back! That's a total of $5.05 MM on this one!  Repeat as many times as needed, but remember, you will only get one $5.00 OYNO Kraft Cat per transactions so break this out into separate transactions.  This Catalina rolls so you can use the $5.00 that printed on your previous transaction to pay to lower you OOP even more. 

Kraft Cheeses are $1.88 when you purchase 10 participating Mega Event items.   Right in front of the cheese in the dairy section there's a blinkie machine with coupons on these cheeses for $1.00 off TWO.  Pick up 6 various cheeses and grab three of the blinkies.  The total for these would be $8.28 after three coupons and then you get a $5.00 OYNO Kraft Catalina.  That makes these 6 cheeses $3.28 or .55 a package - definitely a stock up price.  If you roll your Catalina from the Philadelphia Cream Cheese deal above your OOP is even less - $3.28 OOP and you would get back a $5 OYNO Cat.  Cheese freezes perfectly fine so don't be shy - get enough for at least 12 weeks!

Tombstone pizza's are $1.99 when you purchase 10 participating Mega Event items.  Grab the $2.00 off coupon over at Facebook and these are a .01 MM!  Print this coupon as many times as you can, try logging into your FB account on another computer and you might be able to print it twice again. 

Totino's pizza rolls and Pillsbury Toaster Strudel are also part of the Mega Event and a good price.  Totino's are $1.99 after 10 participating items and there's a .40 off TWO coupon in the 5/30 GM that doubles to .80 off TWO and Toaster Strudel are $1.49 after 10 items with a .55 off TWO coupon from 5/16 S that doubles to $1.10 off TWO. 

Don't forget about the national Catalina promo running on Capri Sun right now.  These ARE NOT part of the Mega Event or the Kraft Catalina promo but they are a really great deal at Hilander/Kroger, especially if you scored some of those $1.00 off Capri Sun Sunrise coupons from Woodmans when they had them taped to the shelf.  These are priced at $1.93 a box.  Pick up 4 boxes, use 4 coupons and pay $3.72 and get a $3.00 OYNO Catalina back.  That's 4 boxes of Capri Sun for .72!  Another stock up price for sure!   (Before you try this one out make sure you read my post here for additional info about this promo)

If you are heading to Hilander/Kroger, why not give my new print feature a try to make your list.  Just click the Print Friendly button at the bottom of this post and edit it to fit your needs.  I'd love to hear feedback on how it works for you.

Hilander/Kroger Mega Event

My frugal friend Tara has been on a roll lately with some great tips on deals.  Here's what she sent me about Hilander's (Kroger affiliate) Mega Event that started on Thursday, 7/15:

OK, so it was definitely worth the trip to Hilander. Some highlights (all prices are mega event prices assuming you have bought 10 participating items and got the $5 off - .50 per item) ...

Kraft Mac N Cheese cups are .49 - use b2g1 from the game on the website, this one was actually better than I hoped. I was hoping it would take off the .99, but actually took off 1.29, the non card price - .06 EACH

Tombstone Pizza is 1.99 - use $2/1 coupons from liking them on facebook - FREE (Don't forget to print it twice!)

Kraft Miracle Whip 30 oz size is 1.69 - use $1/1 from their facebook page - .69 each

Ore-Ida Potatoes are $2.29 - load a $1/1 to your card from the Hilander site - 1.29 a bag

Chips Ahoy are 1.99 - I used $1/1 when you also buy 1 gallon milk which is $2.19 this week (best I can find around except maybe Aldi's)

Toaster Strudels are $1.49 - use .55/2 coupons from paper which double - .94 each (not the best I've gotten, but Joshua just ate the last one yesterday and he loves these for fun breakfast mornings which we seem to have a lot of in the summer)

Green Giant Steam Veggies are 1.49 - use .50/1 from coupons.com which doubles - .49 each (again not the best price, but we are very low on frozen veggies since the crop is just starting to come in)

There are other deals with matchups I noticed there too that I didn't do because we just didn't really need them now...

Rice Krispie Treats are $1.49 - use the $1/1 if you missed the Wags sale - .49 each

Philadelphia Cream Cheese is .99 - use the $1/1 coupon from the Real Women of Philadelphia website if it is still there - .49 each

Boulder Canyon Chips are .99 - use the $1/1 from coupons.com  - .49 each

Rice A Roni is .79 - use the $1/2 from the Kroger coupon mailings

Mortin PM is 2.50 - use the $3/1 from the paper (4/18 RP) - Free

Sargento cheese is $1.88 - use the .55 from the paper  (5/23 SS) which will double

Thanks to Tara for sharing her finds so everyone can take advantage of this sale!

Kroger - Hilander 5/20 (Cheap Huggies diapers & wipes!)

My frugal friend Tara is getting to be the Kroger (Hilander) expert, she finds some great deals at our local Kroger store affiliate, which is Hilander. 

Tara reported a great Huggies deal and some scenarios that worked out perfectly for her. 

Here's the sale: Save $3 Instantly at Checkout When You Purchase $15 Worth of Huggies Products (mix & match, limit 1 per transaction, valid through 6/6)

Tara highlighted these scenarios:

Buy 4 Huggies Wipes (tubs) at $1.99/ea = $7.96
Buy 1 Huggies Diapers Jumbo Pack at $8.99/ea = $8.99
Use 2 – $2/2 Huggies Baby Wipes 64ct +
Use 1 – $3/1 Huggies Snug & Dry Diapers or $3/1 Huggies Little Movers or Little Snugglers Diapers

Pay $6.95 out of pocket after $3 reward! ($1.39/ea!)

or

Buy 2 diapers at $8.99/ea=17.98
Use 2 - $3/1 coupons

Pay $8.98 OOP after $3 reward - (THAT' S LIKE GETTING ONE FOR FREE!)

or a WIPES ONLY scenario:

Buy 8 wipes at $1.99 each=$15.92
use 4 - $2/2 coupons

Pay $4.92 OOP after $3 reward ($0.62 each!)

All the above mentioned printable coupons can be found at Coupons.com.  There's also an additional Huggies wipes coupon here through Facebook.  Remember to break your purchases out into multiple transactions because there is only one $3.00 reward per transaction. 

Tara mentions that the Cherry Valley store is out of most varieties of wipes right now, but should have another shipment in for Monday. 

She also noted some other great Hilander deals: .77 for a dozen eggs and .89 for Oscar Mayer bologna. 

Thanks Tara!  We all appreciate you reporting on your finds!
