7 Reasons You Should Shop at Kroger

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. My absolute favorite store was ShopRite because they had the least expensive prices and also great deals that matched coupons so I could often get free items with double coupons.

What I Got for Free in February and How You Can Get Free Stuff too

Items I got for free in February, 2018.

February was not as productive for me in terms as freebies as most other months because my husband and I were away for part of the month. We went to an annual conference that is held in Las Vegas for my husband’s business. Some of the freebies I got were from attending the conference and that is always fun to get freebies while traveling. A Free Donut from Dunkin Donuts The first item I will share with you is my trusty free donut from Dunkin Donuts. I share at least one free donut picture with you every month because, well, honestly, I LOVE Dunkin Donuts. I love the coffee as well as the donuts. I usually get one free donut each week when I go thrift store shopping for eBay, or bargain shopping at grocery stores with coupons. I found a Dunkin Donuts near the Golden Nugget hotel we stayed…

What I Got For Free in August, 2017

You know how people always say, “You can’t get anything for free these days?” Well, I am here to prove they are wrong. You can get lots of things for free, and I am here to show you how. I will be doing this once a month starting with this month, August 2017. I will post what I got for free, and how I did it so hopefully, you can get the same or similar things for free as well. I would love for all of my readers to join the, “If it’s Free, it’s for Me Club.” Of course, that’s not really the name of a club, but being a frugal person, it’s a lot of fun to get things for free.
