On Monday, I saw that Ralphs was going to have the Progresso Soup on sale for 3/$4 or $1.33 each and all of the other Kroger stores across the United States will have the Progresso Soup on sale for 4/$5 or $1.25 each.
Price matters because if you plan to do the Progresso Soup deal on Monday, 9/2, and you want to maximize the deal, you'll want to buy 10. So, in California, the purchase of ten will cost you $13.30 vice $10 at any Kroger store outside of California which means that anyone and all those outside of California will make $3.30 more on the Progresso deal.
Kroger is also doing something weird with the darn eggs! Ralphs has the 18ct Kroger Eggs are on sale in California for a Whopping $2.99, whereas, most but not all of the Kroger stores have the 18ct Kroger Eggs on sale for $0.99. Not surprising but you are probably saying "So, what?"
Last night, I did a google search for "How many states have the cafe-free egg law?" As you can see in the picture above, there are 9 states that have the law - California, Colorado, Massachusetts, Michigan, Nevada, Oregon, Utah and Washington state.
HOWEVER, out of the 9 states, California is the only state where the eggs actually state "Cage Free" in the description on the Ralph website, whereas, the other Kroger stores in the cage-free eggs states does not have the description on their Kroger eggs and most but not show the 18 ct Kroger eggs on sale for $0.99.
It took me a long time to do this research because like for example, I don't know which Kroger store is in Colorado.
Did you know that there are three different Kroger stores in Oregon? In California, we have Ralphs, FoodCo, Food 4 Less Southern California and Food 4 Less Northern California...and I'm pretty sure the FoodCo in Southern California and FoodCo in Northern California are probably different like the Food 4 Less stores in SoCal and NorCal.
Kroger has been using the state of California as their piggy bank by raising the prices on things like the soup and the eggs. Thank goodness, we can make modifications to even the playing field.
Does anyone know what the "codes" are for that are mentioned on SD- Safeway? Have gone back thru numerous posts and can't find the original. Am wondering if they might (hopefully) be those wonderful generic SS, O, ON etc $1 codes (from several yrs past)?
ReplyDeleteDidnt get a monopoly fp this year and don't get the $1 weekly frozen, bakery, yogart etc Q's either...so anything else would be nice.
What are you talking about re: "codes"? Please be more specific.
ReplyDeleteFood 4 Less has them for $1.25 4 for $5.00.
ReplyDeleteMake me wonder, they make Ralphs higher on purpose so Food 4 less will have them same as all the other Kroger locations.
Referred to as "codes" on SD. To be entered at SCO in store when shopping when purchasing the applied product. Thats all I know.
