Mega Event – Buy 10 Participating Items, Save $5 Instantly

Here we go – another big Mega Event at King Soopers!  There is a lot listed in the ad – I’ve listed the hottest deals, and skipped over the ones that weren’t so great.

The promotion is buy 10 participating products, save $5 instantly.  This is a discount of 50¢ per item, so in general, it’s probably a bigger percentage discount on the smaller items, and not so much on the higher-priced items.  (I didn’t feature as many higher-priced items because not too many of them seemed to be a great deal.  I also ran out of steam! :))

You must purchase the ten items in a single transaction, but it appears that you can do multiple groups of ten in the same transaction; there’s no limit stated.

My best advice is to make a general list of what you want to buy and what/how many coupons you have for each item, and then keep a running total of items as you put them in the cart.  I also advise not shopping with small children as they can throw your running totals off dramatically!

This promotion runs through 2/9, so we have two weeks to stock up on the deals.  We may get coupons for some of these items on Sunday.
