I compared the following items in quantities listed:
- 3 bags of Tostitos tortilla chips
- 3 fresh avocados
- 3 DiGiorno frozen pizzas
- 3 jars of Chi Chi's salsa (note, price was not listed for Kroger)
- 5 2 liters of pop; 3 7up products, 1 Pepsi, 1 Coke
- 3 bags of Tyson Chicken Strips
- 24 oz of chunk cheese
Meijer came in at $62.18. The Tyson strips and cheese are part of their Buy 6 Save $6 promotion so you save $6, and there is an mperk offer to save $5 off a $50 purchase. Your OOP would be $51.18!
Kroger is estimated at $57.36. The Chi Chi's salsa is not an advertised special and no prices were listed online. I estimated at 2.99/jar. (it could be high) The Tyson and cheese are part of their Buy 5 Save $5 promotion so you could save an additional $5 when you buy one more item. if another item was 2.49, your total would be 59.85. after instant savings you could pay $54.85.
VG's came in at $57.57. No special promotions, just advertised prices.
Or, you can pay $47.86 by shopping at 2 differents stores.
At Kroger,
- buy 3 tostitos @ 1.88 = 5.64
- buy 3 frozen pizzas @ 3.99 = 11.97
- buy 5 2 liters of pop (all varieties) @ 77 cents = 3.85
At Meijer,
- buy 3 avocados @ 77 cents = 2.31
- buy 3 jars of salsa @ 1.25 = 3.75
- buy 3 bags of Tyson chicken strips* @ 5.99 = 17.97
- buy 3 8 oz chuncks of cheese* @ 2.79
Again, these were just random items that I took from local ads. Just trying to show an example of how to mix and match specials to your advantage.
