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!
My Kroger Deals
In addition to some freebies I got, I also found some great markdowns at Kroger, too! Here are the deals I got:
- 2 loaves of Whole Wheat Bread — marked down to $1.49 per loaf

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!
So happy to have you here! Welcome!! 🙂 -Meg, MSM Team
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 🙁
