7 Reasons You Should Shop at Kroger

May 25, 2018 1 Comment

The Kroger Grocery Store in Jasper, GA

I have only recently become a shopper at Kroger. In fact, I had never even heard of Kroger until 2014. I grew up in New England and lived there for most of my life. In 2014 my husband and I moved to Georgia. I had been used to shopping at ShopRite, Stop and Shop and Big Y when I lived in Connecticut.

Items I Got For Free In March, 2018

If you are new to my blog, each month I write a blog post about what I got for free the month before. Knowing that I am going to write about freebies each month helps keep me motivated to find lots of freebies that I can not only share with you but tell you how to get them also. Below is the list of what I got for free in March 2018, with tips on how you may be able to get something free in the same way. Some of these offers have expired, but just keep your eyes and ears open for more freebie opportunities like these in the future. Dunkin Donuts Coffee This Dunkin Donuts trial pack of Cold Brew coffee was sent to me because I received an email asking me if I would like to be part of the Dunkin Donuts at-home Review Program.

I got all of this, plus more, totally free in December and January!

I love getting things for free. Each time I get something for free, a little jolt of happiness runs through me. I know that may sound crazy, but it’s fun, isn’t hurting anyone, and makes me happy. I am tired of hearing people say,”Nothing is free these days.” There really are things you can get for free. You just have to look for them and pay attention. All of the items above are items I got for free over the past two months.

May 1, 2017 0 Comments

Free Products in the Mail You know that phrase when people say, “Pinch me…it’s too good to be true,” or they may tell you they had to pinch themselves because something is too good to be true? Well, I have discovered a website called Pinch Me and at first, I thought it was too good to be true.  This website sends samples to you for free.
