I just had to go to Kroger after seeing Karen’s trip and reading all the comments on my Farm Fresh Shopping Trip post. My plan had been to test and see if the cheese Catalina would “roll.” I’d take one for the team 🙂 However, the cashier refused to let me use it on the 2nd transaction. I had to get back in line to use it. Well, my items were scanned and I was on a major time crunch. Farm Fresh doesn’t care…
I’m trying to see when I can get back. I had 4 minutes left; could I get the items in my cart, checkout and be back in the car in 4 minutes? I figured I shouldn’t risk it. Poor Monkeyboy would have been stuck on the corner.
The BIG NEWS: There was a $1/2 Blinkie with the cheese!!!! Yes, you read that right-a blinkie! Valid on Kraft or Cracker Barrel shredded or chunk cheese~! Oh, happy day!

Did you hit Kroger this week?
Hey there – thanks for stopping by The Millennial Housewife. You have an awesome site and I am pleased to make your acquaintance! Good luck with the 31DBBB challenge!!
The Cheese catalina does roll. I did 3 separate transactions for the cheese cat and rolled the cat. Got the cat each time. Lots of cheese and free! Luckily the shreds expire in November and they freeze great.
Thanks! I assumed it would but didn't hear anything to confirm. I'm hoping to go back today or tomorrow for more!
Super! You did GREAT! Glad I helped inspire…I still have $10 to spend also! Going tomorrow!
Forgot to tell you….FREE Spagetti-o's, FREE Quaker snacks (found $1/2 and they are .49) We do not eat spagetti-o's but my neighbod does!
I hope to get there today. Thinking 2 more transactions of cheese using the CAT's to lower my OOP, then I'll buy fruit and veggies with the other CATS 🙂
Check out my Kroger trip, today, Friday! Had to get my haircut around the corner so I went! UNREAL is all I can say! Oh and I forgot the quaker coups!!!
