I went to Kroger a few days ago to take advantage of some freebie coupons I had and I was so excited with the deals that I found!
Only one coupon — the Gillette Razor coupon — was one I had signed up for online. The other freebie coupons were ones that Kroger sent to me in the mail.
For years, we stopped getting Kroger coupons in the mail. I think it was because we had forgotten to change our address on our account when we moved.
So we recently got a new card and put our new address on it. Well, would you know it? Within a few weeks, we got a packet full of amazing free coupons in the mail! And then we just got another packet of high-value coupons a few weeks later!

In addition to some freebies I got, I also found some great markdowns at Kroger, too! Here are the deals I got:

My total with tax ($1.72) was $8.24!! You can watch my video here where I share more about this grocery haul.
What are you going to do with all those avocados???
Yes, I know that that is a LOT of avocados. And many of you asked right away when I posted this on Instagram Stories, what on EARTH are you going to do with all those avocados.
I asked for suggestions from you all on how to use them and I ended up taking your advice and decided to try freezing them.
You can watch this video to see how I froze them. And then look for a post soon with more details and step-by-step instructions.
You used to have a regional store list on your Store Deals tab which I would use for match-ups at Smith’s. Since it’s no longer there, could you tell me who you would have it linked to so I can just go directly to their website from now on. I would really appreciate it as that was very helpful. Thanks.
Hi, Cara! We were using the deals from http://www.Crazy4Smiths.com. You can find all the latest deals for Smith’s there. I hope that helps! – Gretchen, MSM Team
Thank you very much Gretchen! I greatly appreciate it!!
You’re so welcome! -Gretchen, MSM Team
Wow that’s amazing. I get a coupon for free Kroger bread sometimes. A friend of mine gets a coupon for free Kroger bottled water every now and then. I don’t know anyone who gets so many high value freebies. They must know you blog. lol
I freeze them after cubing and use it in smoothies. Makes it really creamy.
I make guacamole with my surplus of avocados and put them in ice cube trays and freeze them. Then when I want just a serving of guacamole I pull out a couple of cubes and let them thaw in my lunch bag. Works great and tastes awesome.
Avocado, kosher salt, lots of minced fresh garlic and lemon/lime juice.
Hope freezing them works okay… Growing up, my mom had a pantry and we put our avocadoes in there. It got colder than it should have in there, and the avocadoes froze. They tasted TERRIBLE! The flesh got hard and had a weird texture. They were completely inedible. Maybe test a few first?
Awesome! I love those kind of shopping trips ??
Hi, I am new to your web site, I really love the free coupons you share and the fun ideas you have. Helps get me motivated. I ordered the free simple magazine, thanks a bunch! I was also able to order my husband a time magazine. Printed off the coupon for a free quart of paint!! I just wish my town offered good deals for grocery’s, there is no double coupon days or free store coupons. Thanks for the fun website!
There is also a $1 Suja juice rebate on ibotta
I tried so hard to get it to work (see my video about my shopping trip) and it said over and over again that it was the wrong item 🙁
