I also received the following Catalina coupons: $1/1 Vaseline Hand or Body Lotion & $1/3 boxes of Duncan Hines Premium Brownie Mix.

**Okay, so here is the deal with the missing Cellfire and Shortcuts e-coupons. I notified Cellfire of the missing Kotex $1/1 Q and the site says I will hear back in 3 -4 days. Shortcuts sent me an immediate response. I was to receive the following: 75¢/3 Hamburger Helper, 60¢/1 Brownie Mix, $2.50/1 Dentastix ($3.85 total), but this was not showing on my receipt. The email from Shortcuts said they have applied $3.95 to my shopper’s card to be automatically deducted during my next shopping trip. Now that is what I call customer service!

Want even more savings from Kroger?  For every $1 you spend (before coupons) you earn 1 point towards fuel saver rewards.  For every $100 spent (before coupons) you will earn 10¢ off per gallon of gas purchased at Kroger fuel stations.  Don’t have a Kroger fuel station near you?  Contact Kroger and tell them you want one so you too can take advantage of this added Kroger benefit. Last time DH fueled up he filled his truck (2 gas tanks) and all of our gas cans for our lawn & garden tools and we saved over $7 due to a 20¢ per gallon reward.  This month we have 463 points (40¢ per gallon).  That could mean a $14 fuel savings.  More money in our pockets means more money for the things we need, want, or to just save.
