Kroger Deals 2/9-2/15 and Why You Should Print Coupons Now!

When I got my grocery ads this week, I was expecting it to be a really slow week.  I was right, too.  It was hard to find the actual food that was on sale amidst the overpriced Valentine's Day merchandise.  Because of this, I intended this post to be about the few good deals at the three major stores in my area, although I didn't think any of them would actually motivate me to get to the store.  Upon closer inspection, I found that there really were not any deals I felt were worth telling you about at Alberton's or Tom Thumb.  However, if I truly want to stay away from the store, I need to stop examining the Kroger ad more closely.  I found several things that make great deals that I had missed at first glance (all that really caught my eye was the free tuna).  So here is a list of the best deals I see for this week at Kroger.  I will be making a trip to pick up some of these things myself.

• Starkist Tuna  $1.  If you were able to print the $0.50/1 pouch coupon recently (no more prints), or there was one in last month's All You magazine.  Either will double and make FREE tuna.
• Dove Deodorant  $2.  Use $2/1 from 1/30 RP= FREE!
• Colgate $0.98.  Use $0.75/1 from 1/30 SS= $0.23
• Minute Maid Orange Juice on sale $2.50 each.  Use BOGO printable from facebook (no longer available) if you got it a few weeks back.
• Xtra Detergent  $1.88.  Use $1/1 printable (no more prints) if you were able to get it.  I already used mine at CVS, so they may have expired already, I'm not sure.  If you have it, then you pay $0.88.
• Kotex  $3.  Use  $2/2 from 1/16SS.  Some areas may have gotten a $2/1.  $1-$2 each.
• Dannon Yogurt  $1.88.  Use $1/1 Activia from 1/30 SS = $0.88

Sadly, I'm not able to link to the printable coupons that match up with this sale because they are not available anymore.  If you ever see a printable coupon posted, and it is for something you use regularly or something you would like to try and it is high value, do NOT wait to print it.  It may not match up with a sale right away, but by the time there is a sale, like now, you may have lost your opportunity to print it.  You may end up with a few expiring before you are able to use them, or having to use them on a full price item before they expire, but to me that better than not having them to use.
