New Mega Event at King Soopers, plus blueberries are on sale!

Yeehaw!  I love King Soopers’ Mega Events!  There’s a few items I’d hold out on to see if we get a coupon in Sunday’s inserts.  And I’m sure you guys will uncover some unadvertised deals, too, so stay tuned for updates!

Psst – have you heard about Grocery University? It’s on sale for an amazing price this week! Go here to read more about the audio e-course that’s getting rave reviews. Plus, it also includes a bonus Rock Bottom Price Database PDF!

Buy 10, Save $5 Instantly Mega Savings Event

Purchase 10 participating items, save $5 instantly.  Though you do have to buy in multiples of 10, I look at this as a “per item discount” of 50¢ per item.  So, often it means that products at a lower price point are a good deal, while higher-priced products may not be.

It doesn’t appear that there’s a limit to the number of instant rewards you can earn; just make sure you buy in multiples of 10.

Rating: 5

Important note: you will only receive one $5 Kraft catalina per transaction, no matter how many multiples of five you buy.  You’ll need to get to the 10-item Mega Event minimum with other items and make several trips to the store if you really want to maximize the catalina deal!  The catalina deal runs through 8/15, though the Mega Event prices end on 7/27. There are other Kraft cheese products included, read this thread for the full list.
