Thanks, Kroger!

Today I got mail from Kroger. Mail containing 14 coupons. Exclusive Kroger coupons picked especially for me. 14 coupons - all items I use and buy on a regular basis. Including coupons for a free bag of Nestle chocolate chips and a free bay of Lays chips!

Thanks, Kroger!

I know some people don't like shoppers cards - they don't like the idea of a store tracking what they purchase. Hey, I say if they are going to send me coupons I want to use, they can track all of my spending habits at their store!

Oh, and the coupons total $10.50 (not including the free ones). Not too shabby.

Weird Coupon

I was cutting coupons this morning and came across this one:

A&W Barbecue Sauce?  Am I the only one that thinks this is weird?  I mean, I love A&W Root Beer.  But as a drink.  On it's own in a big glass with ice.  Or, even better, mixed with vanilla ice cream.  I don't want it slathered on my grilled chicken or ribs.

If someone out there thinks this is a good idea, please explain it to me!

Coupon Complaint

Why are coupons so much of a pain sometimes?  I hate coupons that expire on the 5th, or 17th, or 23rd.  Why can't companies make it easier for me to organize my coupons and have them all expire on the last day of the month? WHY, WHY, WHY???

My rant is now over.  Unless I get started on how much I hate 55¢ coupons, which Kroger does not double....
