First ~ I did 3 transactions of 5 B.C. fruit snacks...for every 5 bought it produced a $3.50 catalina...15 snacks = $10.50 in catalinas, I used on those on the 4th transaction (the large order). I earned one $5 reward for the fruit snacks (see below)

Second ~ there is no limit on the mega sale!!! So because I bought 15 fruit snacks above, I got credit for 10 and the other 5 got applied to the big order, (in other words I bought 15 fruit snacks...it gave me a $5 reward for 10...and then it kept track on my plus card and applied the extra 5 fruit snacks to the big order count)...so on that order I earned 8 more $5 rewards ;-)

Third ~ I used lots of e-coupons as well as printables and paper coupons ;-) and boy was there were A LOT of COUPONS!!! It was a VERY long receipt too, LOL almost 8 feet to be exact :-)

Fourth ~ remember that my Kroger does not accept competitor's coupons...BUT if yours does you could do even better by lowering your total with comp. coups and possible overages :-)
