Lindsay - please check your email! and Congratulations! Check back later for my post about how I saved 50% on my groceries this week (more after using my gift card!!)

OK, you all know I love a good deal - and several months back I challenged myself to use coupons, coupled with sales to save a buck or two~ I LOVE IT - it is amazing what you can do if you do it right (don't buy stuff you don't need or wont use!!)

ANYWAY - a couple weeks ago the good folks at My Blog Spark contacted me about the Kroger Mega Savings Event starting this week!

By agreeing to help spread the word these wonderful companies General Mills, PepsiCo and MyBlogSpark sent me a $30 gift card to spend at the savings event AND...

DRUMROLL PLEASE...

AND they are offering another $30 gift card to give away to one faithful reader! (giveaway rules at the bottom)

I will be shopping the sale when we return from vacation and will post all the good deals I got at that time!!! I am really looking forward to it - I will be stocking up on totinos pizza rolls, nature valley, gatorade, granola bars and cereal for SURE!
