i just wanted to know if you get more than one sunday paper for the coupons?

katycouponers said...

Yes, I get multiple papers when I can. I ask neighbors, friends, family, coworkers for their inserts as well. You can also print coupons though if you cannot find a free source for newspapers!

Just curious on how the loadables work. If you load your Kroger card from shortcut, cellfire, etc and you do one transaction for example your current transaction for the mega deal. Does that remove the loadable coupon from your card, or do you have multiple uses on it until it expires. I say this because if i wanted to use the loadable coupon for another transaction would i have to reload it to my card. Thanks

questions about loadables

I have two $1 honeynut cheerios on cellfire. Will that take $2 off one box or will it only do $1/box?

Will it combine shortcuts and cellfire? If I have a huggies Q on both cellfire and shortcuts will they both come off one box of huggies? Or will it just pick either shortcuts Q or Huggies Q? Thanks

Awesome job! Do you have more than 1 Kroger store card that you put loadables on?

Hi! I'm new to your blog and love the fact you deliver news from Houston. I'm in Beaumont and for the last couple of days I have had the worst luck with coupons. I follow the coupons to a "t" and make sure I don't use "dnd". When I check my receipt I see that several coupons did not double or triple. This has happend at both of the Krogers in my area and I had to fight to get the difference. The managers tell me it's because I purchased multiples or used "dnd" and refused to retrieve my coupons. Sometimes I wonder if it is worth the hassle. Hope everyone else has an easier time.

we just got a store (safeway) where i can use cellfire and shortcuts at. it is great. i even had to make sure i bought something to cover the overage. i just finished up my last kroger gc a couple weeks ago when i was in tx visiting my daughter and 4 grandkids. i would love to have another one for my next visit.
