Giveaway a Day: $25 Kroger Gift Card

This week in honor of the upcoming holidays, Emily & I are thrilled to bring you a giveaway-a-day! Woot! Today’s giveaway is a $25 to our favorite grocery store, KROGER! Kroger wants to give you the chance to win in honor of their new pet insurance program through Kroger Personal Finance.

What!? Pet Insurance you say! Maybe it sounds silly at first, but think about unexpected vet bills for your beloved pets. Most pets are considered family members, and pet owners will do whatever is needed to get them well again after an accident or health problem. (Like my husband’s family who gave their diabetic dog insulin shots every day for years!) Kroger offers accident-only pet insurance for only $9.95 per month per pet. And if you feel like your pet needs more coverage, they have lots of other policies too, from heartworm to hospitalization, and lots more.

So, if you have a beloved cat, like the cat I had growing up named Fuzzy who was totally awesome and lived to be twenty years old and had quite a few vet trips over the years, or a beloved dog like my friend’s daschund who had to have back surgery – pet insurance is something you might want to look into! If you don’t have a Kroger nearby, you can still purchase online or at most of the Kroger family of stores (Ralph’s, Fred Meyer, King Sooper’s, etc.)

Win it! Here’s how to win a $25 gift card from Kroger!

1) Leave a comment on this post telling us the name of your favorite pet.
2) Tweet about this giveaway on twitter – follow & include @krogerdeals in your tweet. Then leave a separate comment with your tweet URL.
3) Subscribe to our feed and leave a comment telling us you did or already do.

Random.org will choose the lucky winning comment # on Thursday, December 17th, so hurry and enter!

And come back tomorrow for another great giveaway!

‘Tis the Season to be Thrifty!

As I mentioned last week, my itch to score sweet deals has been getting more enflamed recently! So I headed to CVS on Sunday to try and get some freebies while the gettin’ was good. Here’s what I came up with!

this week's CVS haul!

I did two transactions.
Transaction #1:
Contour meter $14.99
Two Santa hats, $7.98
Gillette shave gel $1.99
Neosporin lip balm $2.78
total = $27.74

Coupons: $5/$25 Rite Aid coupon (my CVS accepts competitor q’s!)
$14.99 (up to $30 off off) Contour meter manu q
$1 off Gillette manu q
$3 off Neosporin (adjusted to $2.78) manu q
Total = $3.75
paid with 2 ECBs and a CVS gift card = 0 OOP, got back 5 ECBs for the meter and $7.98 for the Santa hats!

Transaction #2:
2 Nexxus shampoo $5.29 each
1 Nexxus conditioner $9.99
Emergen-C $3.99
Total = $24.56

Coupons: $5/$25 Rite Aid coupon (they rounded up for me!)
$5 off Nexxus Rite Aid coupon
Total = $14.56

used $12.98 ECB and paid $2.27 (including tax) out of pocket. Got back 10 ECB for the Nexxus and 3.99 ECB for the Emergen-C!

I was pretty pumped! I absolutely LOVE the Nexxus hair products!
