So this was my second week of utilizing the Kroger Enhance program (it was $39 for your complete 12 months + I’ll get double gasoline factors all 12 months — which is able to completely pay for itself after which some!)
I had two points this week:
1) The Kroger digital coupons wouldn’t work on their website for awhile so I needed to wait to position my order till they began working. I actually wished to order on Friday (they provide 5x gasoline factors on Fridays!) so I might get my order on Saturday… and I needed to wait an hour on Friday evening to get it to work. (Now, clearly, I didn’t simply sit there and wait. Nevertheless it was a little bit of an inconvenience to maintain checking till the digital coupons began displaying up and dealing!)
2) They gave me an excessive amount of peanut butter. Now, this may not appear to be an issue since we eat a lot of peanut butter. However, the peanut butter was on sale for $0.99 and the restrict was 5 jars. I’m fairly constructive I solely ordered 5 jars. Nonetheless, I acquired my grocery order and there have been 7 jars + a jar of pure peanut butter. It’s not a giant deal within the grand scheme of issues, however for the reason that restrict was 5 jars at $0.99, I paid full value for 2 jars. And I’m scratching my head questioning if I did, actually, unintentionally add extra peanut butter to my cart or in the event that they made a mistake. I don’t wish to ask for a refund for these two jars if the error was mine. I want there was a approach to confirm what I put within the cart, however I can’t work out if there’s (anybody know?)
These two points apart, I’m nonetheless a giant fan of getting groceries delivered to my door for lower than $1/week and was very pleased with every little thing else I acquired. I used to be additionally tremendous happy with the standard of produce they picked out, too.
For those who missed final week’s publish, I shared extra concerning the Kroger Enhance program proper right here.
