Eat Well, Spend Less: $50 Grocery Giveaway

April 26, 2011 · 426 comments

This month I was honored to team up with a group of bloggers for the Eat Well, Spend Less series. This timely topic came just when gas prices are hitting new highs and thanks to TLC, coupons are the latest rage. People need to save money like never before.

Trimming the grocery budget can have an immediate impact on your finances. I shared some of my methods and favorite meals for saving money in the kitchen, as did my fellow bloggers. If you missed them, here are my posts from the series:

While the series is now officially over, this topic sparked a lot of interest and I plan to continue sharing frugal kitchen tips over the next few months. In the meantime, we are celebrating with a great giveaway from Kroger! What better way to end the series than to give our readers a chance to put our tips into action with $50 in free groceries. Spending less does not get any better than free!

When I first learned to use coupons, Kroger was my favorite stop. With double and triple coupons every day (no longer in select areas), their legendary Mega-Events and a generous selection of organics, Kroger is a great place to help you eat well for less.

I have one $50 gift card to giveaway to one lucky reader. This gift card is also accepted at all Kroger affiliated stores, including Ralphs, Dillons, Smith’s, King Soopers, Fry’s, QFC, City Market, Hilander, Owen’s, Jay C, Pay Less, Baker’s, Gerbes, Scott’s Food & Pharmacy, Fred Meyer, Dillons Marketplace, Fry’s Marketplace, Kroger Marketplace, Smith’s Marketplace, and Food 4 Less.

2 Melissa April 28, 2011 at 10:52 am: We are growing much of our own produce for canning and freezing. I am doubling my efforts to locate organic product coupons.
3 Melissa April 28, 2011 at 10:53 am: I forgot to mention I liked both Facebook pages. Thank you!
4 Julie April 28, 2011 at 11:46 am: I am working on making my own sauces like enchilada, cream of chicken and cream of mushroom so I don’t have to buy the canned version. Cheaper and healthier
5 Mary Shaw April 28, 2011 at 11:47 am: Meal planning around sales and coupons!

9 Katie April 28, 2011 at 12:21 pm: We have expanded our garden this year, which is already and will continue to save us money. We’ll be freezing some of the produce for use throughout the fall/winter, which will help further the savings even more!
10 Katie April 28, 2011 at 12:24 pm: I also “like” facebook and KFM
11 Amy April 28, 2011 at 12:31 pm: To eat better and save more, we collect the “culled” fruit from local packing sheds and can during summer to eat better during the winter. We also have a garden of our own this year, and of course I coupon as much as I can! Thanks!
12 Beth April 28, 2011 at 1:39 pm: I love Kroger!!! My tip is to try to pay cash. It helps me to control my spending better. Also don’t go to the store everytime you run out of something wait until you need to make a big trip.
13 Lori S April 28, 2011 at 2:43 pm: I try to buy items that will cause an overage so I can get veggies and fruit.

Thanks!

Thanks!
15 Lori S April 28, 2011 at 2:44 pm: Facebook fan

Thanks!
16 Tracy Momofallgirlz April 28, 2011 at 2:56 pm: Meal planning and coupons! Love your site! God bless!
17 Susan Garretson April 28, 2011 at 3:16 pm: I plan all my fruits and veggies around the sales that week. And I always price match other stores. We make our own salsa to cut down on the canned stuff. I also shop at Farmer’s Markets…I try and go at the end of the day/weekend, sometimes I get deals as the farmers are trying to get rid of product or slightly damaged goods.
18 Katherine April 28, 2011 at 4:06 pm: Using coupons!
19 Rebecca R April 28, 2011 at 5:56 pm: I eat well and spend less through the use of coupons….i’ve cut my grocery bill in half!
20 Jackie April 28, 2011 at 7:39 pm: I have switched from a frozen breakfast sandwich to oatmeal with fruit. Much less expensive and saves me about 500 mg. of sodium per day. And it turns out you can microwave it just like the more expensive instant stuff in the packets.
21 Ani W April 28, 2011 at 8:43 pm: One way we eat well and spend less is by menu planning.
22 Ani W April 28, 2011 at 8:49 pm: I like you and Kroger on facebook.
23 Karlene Bidderman April 28, 2011 at 10:19 pm: Less processed food, more things from scratch- bread, salsa, refried beans…
