This was definitely a strange-looking shopping trip for me. I stocked up last week, so we didn’t need much grocery-wise. I just wanted to take advantage of the Kroger 10 Item Mega Event. So I made a quick lunch hour stop with a fistful of printable coupons. Here’s what I got.
Spent: $27.24
Saved: $46.30 (63%)

Good question, Marilyn! This depends on your store. I recommend calling them ahead of time to find out what their store policy is. I shop at CVS, Kroger, and Rite Aid most often, and I use a black-and-white printer. I’ve never had any trouble at those stores or at Target. If you’re shopping somewhere else, it would be worth calling before you start printing.
do printable coupons have to be in color? and can you expired coupons?
Thanks,
Marilyn
wow, nice savings!
