*CLOSED* $30 Kroger Gift Card Giveaway + Mega Event Details for Kroger/Fry's Stores

*UPDATED: This giveaway is now closed; however, you can score all the Mega Savings Event deals still at Kroger stores through Sept. 1st!!

Kroger stores began their Mega Savings Event this week and the hot deals are coming to our local Fry's stores (Kroger affiliate) beginning on Wednesday, August 18th through September 1st.

Click here to see a list of participating stores (Shoppers should also see stores or website for exact dates since the sales dates may vary by area).

During the Mega Savings Event, you will save $5 instantly off your purchase when you buy 10 participating items with no limit on the number of rewards per transaction!

Here are some of the participating brands
with some coupon matches I've found:

Don't forget to print the coupons TWICE and load your VIP card with coupons from Cellfire and Shortcuts.com (there are lots of matches there)!

NOTE: Prices below assume you buy 10 and save $5. Some of the coupons state "Do not Double," however they all begin with a '5' so unless your cashier manually suppresses it they will all double. My final prices below indicate a price after the Savings event discount and without doubling those certain coupons. If your coupons double anyway, the below items will even be cheaper!!
