My busy day means groceries for you

By Mir

October 23, 2008

My darlings, I have neglected you, today. This day has gotten away from me, and it’s only getting worse. (Just ask the dishes in the sink and the laundry spilling out of the hampers.) Given my inability to give you my full attention, I’m going to do an extra! bonus! contest by way of apology.

(I’m sorry! Here, go buy some turnips!)

The fine folks at Kroger want you to know that they’re working hard to help you stay on budget—I especially like how you can load coupons directly onto your Kroger card, now, because I find cutting coupons a hassle. And I’m sure I would also really dig the Fuel Rewards program if my local Kroger offered gas. The point is, they offer plenty of ways to maximize your family’s benefits for less money.

The Kroger family of stores includes Fred Myer, Food 4 Less, and Ralph’s. Surely you have one of those near you…? How does a $50 gift card sound? (That’s a lot of turnips!)

To enter for a chance to win, leave a comment on this post by 11:59 p.m. Eastern (8:59 p.m. Pacific) on Friday, October 24th, 2008. One entry per person, valid email address required, love of turnips is optional. Winner to be determined by random number generation and speed of clean-up on Aisle 5.

Go!

We do shop at Krogers, plus we are lucky enough to have a Krogers with a gas station. I am quite sure a majority of my budget is spent at Krogers…..a gift card would rock!
Darice on October 23, 2008 at 1:38 pm

Me! I heart Kroger so!
tiffany on October 23, 2008 at 1:39 pm

Pick me! I do like turnips..yummy!
amy on October 23, 2008 at 1:39 pm

Don’t care for turnips, but would love to spend a gift card on something else at Krogers!
Jill on October 23, 2008 at 1:41 pm

We shop at Kroger, and I like turnips too.
Denise on October 23, 2008 at 1:44 pm

Kroger is right down the road! I’d love to go get some more groceries for the cupboard!!
Brenda on October 23, 2008 at 1:45 pm

Don’t think I’ve ever had turnips! Promise I’ll try them though if I win!
Amy on October 23, 2008 at 1:46 pm

I don’t have a Kroger where I live, but there is one in the town where I work. Conveniently, I do most of my shopping on my lunch break.
stephanie on October 23, 2008 at 1:49 pm

Not one of those stores is near me, but my folks live in Georgia and we’ll all be there for Thanksgiving. $50 will go a long way toward filling up our bellies and then the car for the trip home!
Kris on October 23, 2008 at 1:50 pm

Oh yes – I do love the Kroger!
Heidi on October 23, 2008 at 1:50 pm

This would be a wonderful help.
Sandy on October 23, 2008 at 1:51 pm

I only shop at Ralphs! Please pick me!!
Crystal on October 23, 2008 at 1:52 pm

Tiffany C on October 23, 2008 at 1:53 pm

I need this badly!!!
Linda on October 23, 2008 at 1:54 pm

Hmmmm….I believe that Dillon’s is a Kroger family member too…but it doesn’t matter, because if I win, I’ll just hold the card till I get to SC in January and use it then!
Kelly E on October 23, 2008 at 1:54 pm

Oh random number generator…how I love thee! Pick me!
Allison on October 23, 2008 at 1:56 pm

Tracy H on October 23, 2008 at 2:02 pm

I worked at Kroger’s when I was in high school. Will this sway the random number generator?
Jennifer on October 23, 2008 at 2:03 pm

Am I the ONLY one that does NOT have one of these stores by me? So SAD!
So If I win I will donate…
Thank you!

C on October 23, 2008 at 2:09 pm

I’ll throw my hat in the ring! Food is getting so expensive these days.
Julie on October 23, 2008 at 2:09 pm

I do so like free turnips.
Ani on October 23, 2008 at 2:10 pm

Feed me Seymour…Kroger is the only shop in town.
Melody Peacock on October 23, 2008 at 2:10 pm

sumo on October 23, 2008 at 2:11 pm

$50 will keep me in turnips for the foreseeable future.
Meredith on October 23, 2008 at 2:11 pm

I don’t like turnips either and have to go to the next town for a Kroger, but worth the drive for free stuff! ;o)
Katie on October 23, 2008 at 2:12 pm

I love loading the coupons onto my card, and our Kroger has the cheapest gas even before the discounts!

Rachel on October 23, 2008 at 2:17 pm

I’ve never had a turnip, but with a $50 gift card I’m sure I could be convinced to try one.
Heather on October 23, 2008 at 2:17 pm

Pick Me! The holidays are coming! Please Pick Me!
Fiona on October 23, 2008 at 2:18 pm

Kroger’s = King Soopers here. That would be plenty of turnips!
Sara on October 23, 2008 at 2:18 pm

We’re not so much into turnips here, but do shop at Kroger.
Helen O. on October 23, 2008 at 2:24 pm

No thank you to turnips but yes please to other fruits and veggies!!

Thank you for the chance to win!!
elizabeth on October 23, 2008 at 2:25 pm

I would love a kroger gift card, now if they would just sell diesel at their stations/stores.

Mandee on October 23, 2008 at 2:28 pm

Thanks, Mir. and Kroger!
hannita on October 23, 2008 at 2:29 pm

Food-4-Less is awesome. So much cheaper than the other stores that populate much of Chicago-land.
Becky on October 23, 2008 at 2:31 pm

We don’t have a local Kroger, but there’s one about an hour away that I always stop in to when I’m in the area. This would be worth making a special trip for!
gretchen on October 23, 2008 at 2:32 pm

my mom is a kroger shopper (none near me) so I’ll pass this on to her if I win!
Lisa on October 23, 2008 at 2:33 pm

Count us in, thanks!
Andrea on October 23, 2008 at 2:34 pm

Oooh…pick me, pick me! I don’t have any of those stores near me, but my mom does and she’s in a rough spot right now. It would go a long way for her.

Pretty please?! 🙂
Steph on October 23, 2008 at 2:35 pm

Our Kroger has the best selection of organic foods around….but it’s getting rather expensive….We would LOVE this!
Burgh Baby on October 23, 2008 at 2:35 pm

Ann on October 23, 2008 at 2:53 pm

Love Kroger! Not so fond of turnips.
Kate on October 23, 2008 at 2:54 pm

I do not shop at my local Kroger, due to the general unpleasantness of their employees here, but I would be willing to suck it up and ignore them if I could shop using a gift card!
Kathy on October 23, 2008 at 2:56 pm

I am ready to go Kroger-ing!
alicia on October 23, 2008 at 2:56 pm

Kyle on October 23, 2008 at 3:25 pm

I don’t even know if I’ve ever eaten a turnip. However, I do quite often spend lots of money on groceries.
Fresh Peaches on October 23, 2008 at 3:25 pm

Ooh! Yes, please!
Melisa on October 23, 2008 at 3:26 pm

This is my lucky number.
Lenetta on October 23, 2008 at 3:28 pm

I bet I could find me a Kroger somewhere . . .
Dawn on October 23, 2008 at 3:29 pm

Please, please!!
Tiffanie on October 23, 2008 at 3:31 pm

I’ll probably pass on the turnips, but I love me a good roasted shallot! Gift card, away!
Chris on October 23, 2008 at 3:31 pm

I HATE TURNIPS!

But I like asparagus when my bubs makes it.

MEOW!
Kyallee on October 23, 2008 at 3:31 pm

Hooray for King Soopers! Hooray for Mir’s giveaways! And hooray for Mir!
Angie on October 23, 2008 at 3:35 pm

I never knew those stores were related.

Kroger is in my neck of the woods though!
Stephanie on October 23, 2008 at 3:36 pm

Turnips do taste better when they’re free…
Diane on October 23, 2008 at 3:36 pm

Thanks for the chance to win! I really enjoy reading your site. With a growing family any information to help save money is greatly appreciated.
Amy on October 23, 2008 at 3:36 pm

Looked in up and there’s no Kroger’s near me – but I have a friend in Red Lion, PA (where there is a store) that sure could use this! I’d be giving it to her.
Stacy on October 23, 2008 at 3:38 pm

I am at Kroger at least once a week…$50 would make it less painful.
TessaG on October 23, 2008 at 3:39 pm

Krogers is the best place to shop around here. (It’s between that and WalMart. hrmph), so it will definitely be going to good use!
Cassie on October 23, 2008 at 3:39 pm

I love free turnips!
Nikki on October 23, 2008 at 3:39 pm

Anything to stretch the grocery budget is always appreciated!
Gennie on October 23, 2008 at 3:39 pm

Desta on October 23, 2008 at 3:49 pm

I have a couple of those nearby and could definitely use some extra food money!
Erin on October 23, 2008 at 3:51 pm

Lets go Krogering!
Melz on October 23, 2008 at 3:51 pm

Hmm. That’s a week’s worth of groceries, plus a little extra for some of my husband’s favorite candy corn!
Holly on October 23, 2008 at 3:54 pm

I hate spending $ on groceries and not shoes…this would free up $50 for some new boots!

Kate on October 23, 2008 at 3:57 pm

Sara on October 23, 2008 at 4:12 pm

Oh. My. We’ve sold our house, been living with friends for the last month–yes, they’re still our friends but can’t understand what they get out of the relationship–and are moving into our new house this weekend. AND! We have “Old Mother Hubbard” cupboards. They are bare. That card would put a small dent in that.
Also. I didn’t know about the coupons either. Thanks!
Laura on October 23, 2008 at 4:13 pm

Wow! You can neglect me all you want if you’re gonna pay me $50 in the end!!!
Jenn W on October 23, 2008 at 4:13 pm

coupons ON my card?? That’s awesome! Almost as awesome as free $50! We don’t have a Dillons (Krogers) with a gas station, but you can redeem your discount (2cents off/gal) or your fuel coupons at Kwik Shops around here.
Erin on October 23, 2008 at 4:19 pm

Please pick me. I never win!
Christina on October 23, 2008 at 4:19 pm

Adriana on October 23, 2008 at 4:33 pm

Lisa in Texas on October 23, 2008 at 4:36 pm

We LOVE our Kroger stores down here in Texas!
Aisha on October 23, 2008 at 4:37 pm

Sheila on October 23, 2008 at 5:27 pm

Wonderful!! I adore Kroger’s.

Thanks!
Cindy on October 23, 2008 at 5:44 pm

Kroger owns Fry’s so I’m thinking this gift certificate would come in handy there too. Thanks Mir!
Tanya on October 23, 2008 at 5:48 pm

Pick me, Pick me, pick me!!

Okay that’s annoying and you don’t hand pick the winner anyway!

smiles!

Tanya
Krista on October 23, 2008 at 5:50 pm

Sounds great! We can always use groceries around here! 🙂
Emily on October 23, 2008 at 5:51 pm

I think that I could find a use for this!
Melinda on October 23, 2008 at 5:54 pm

I love Kroger. The gas that I got there for $2.37/gal does my heart and wallet good. A gift card would be great! Thanks Mir!
Just1more on October 23, 2008 at 6:00 pm

It’s Dillons for us here in KS. This would make me very, very happy.

Ralph’s is awesome, and I MUST check out the downloadable coupons. I usually end up leaving paper ones for the next person to use!

I shop at Krogers all the time! I’ve heard of Ralph’s from the movie The Big Lobowski! He he..Great movie!

This would be great! We have a Kroger right down the street! Thanks!
Cheri on October 23, 2008 at 6:37 pm

This is timely, seeing as how the poor man’s food (rice and beans) is now too expensive for the poor man!
angela on October 23, 2008 at 6:40 pm

We don’t have one here but my in laws do. And when we go down we’ll be buying a few cases of our favorite salsa that Kroger carries. Sweetness!
jess on October 23, 2008 at 6:41 pm

Free grocery money! Yay!

Thanks, Mir!
jess
Lucinda on October 23, 2008 at 6:42 pm

My mom lives in Texas and has a Kroger right at the back of her house. I would soooo love to give this to her. She really needs it! I’ve wanted to help her out but I’m broke too, LOL!
Tina on October 23, 2008 at 7:50 pm

I want in but there is NO WAY I’m buying turnips if I win!
😉 (We’re in a CSA this fall and I have turnips enough that I don’t know what I’m going to do with.)

Keesha on October 23, 2008 at 8:13 pm

Kroger is just around the corner from my house and I am there all the time, so it would be super-fabulous to win a gift certificate!
Heather on October 23, 2008 at 8:13 pm

Love Kroger! You look pretty!
Heather on October 23, 2008 at 8:23 pm

Kroger.. Right Price, Right Store, Right Now. I think that’s the slogan. Anyway, I hate turnips.
Jennefer on October 23, 2008 at 9:07 pm

Dear Random Number Generator,
Please pick me. I really need some groceries. And thanks to my son’s idiot doctor, I had to take him to the hospital which his insurance does not pay for. I will go cross my fingers now.
Mary on October 23, 2008 at 9:11 pm

Cortney on October 24, 2008 at 1:30 am

There’s a Food 4 Less near me. I could definitely use the card to shop there and keep my 15 year old from eating me out of my home! lol
Andrea on October 24, 2008 at 1:38 am

I need an excuse to make the 20 minute drive to the nearest Kroger!
Sara on October 24, 2008 at 1:59 am

I guess there aren’t any Kroger stores within 100 miles of Denver. But my parents are in Washington and love Fred Meyer.
Cindy on October 24, 2008 at 2:24 am

Do we have to like turnips?
Susan on October 24, 2008 at 2:37 am

We shop at Krogers here in North Texas. The discount on gas prices the last few months was very nice!! Of course we just spent the savings back at Krogers, so I guess it was a win-win situation.

The whole turnip thing I’d have to experiment with!!!
Tracey on October 24, 2008 at 7:01 am

Lee on October 24, 2008 at 9:47 am

Don’t forget their community rewards program where they will give your school 4% back, at least here in the Cincinnati area. We love Krogers!!
Nikkie on October 24, 2008 at 9:47 am

There’s one right around the corner from me. Thanks Mir!

On Would Coulda, you keep talking about your bona fides as a true southerner. Your not southern until you refer to Kroger as Krogers.

Regardless, I would appreciate the gift card. Thanks for the contest.
April on October 24, 2008 at 3:53 pm

Our Kroger store is only a year or so old and I love it! I don’t know what I did before we had it here. I would love to win!
