This is what it looks like to us!  In truth… the Krusteaz company actually PAID us to shop and take home their product.  In total Troy paid (OOP) $0.20.  Then he received back $5 in Catalina rewards.  He used two $1 cats to pay.  All told we profited $2.80 on this trip.  This is a prime example of how to reduce your out of pocket costs on your grocery bill.  Sometimes you need to buy things you DON’T want to GET the things you DO want cheap or free!  Did I need Krusteaz pancake / waffle mix?  Well yeah… the first ten boxes!  But I think, all told, we have something like 55 boxes now.  The overage was used to pay for the saltine crackers (which we go through a TON of with peanut butter and soups in the winter) and chex mix.  This week the catalina’s will buy our produce and milk, further reducing our grocery bill.  In total we SAVED 102% on our grocery bill!  Can’t beat that with a stick right?

This is what we got:

25- Bumblee Tuna, 10 Krusteaz Pancake Mixes, 4 Zesta Saltine Crackers, 2 Chex Mix, 1 can of Hormel Chili

So… how did we do it?  Here’s the scenario:

Buy 2 Krusteaz mixes get $1 Catalina.  (normally these would be a “or more” cat but this week it is NOT… therefore if you buy 10 Krusteaz to make the “Buy 10 get $5 sale” the cat will spit out FIVE $1 Cats instead of one!”).

• Buy 10 Krusteaz @ $1.17 each- $11.70
• Use 10 $0.50/1 Krusteaz (10/11 RP – i think… I know it was 10/11 not sure SS or RP) doubles to $10 off
• OOP $1.17 Receive back $5 in Cats from Krusteaz.  Profit of $3.83!!

Also the Bumblee Tuna Evelopes are producing overage! Here’s how:

• Buy 10 Bumblebee Tuna Envelopes @ $0.49 each
• Use 10 $0.55/1 (does not double) = $0.06 overage on EACH
• or $0.60 profit on the total of 10

Overage was used to pay for the Saltine’s $0.99 each (cheapest I have ever seen this brand!) and the chex mix ($0.49 each).  The hormel chili was FREE with the purchase of 2 zesta saltines (via a tearpad coupon someone sent me in a trade!).

Better yet!  The mega sale at Kroger is STILL ON this week!  Take these scenarios and run with them!  I hope you get tons of great deals!  I may be trading for more Q’s as this is just too good to pass up!  The Ronnie House looks to be getting a LARGE donation of Krusteaz soon!  LOL
