We are huge fans of the Kroger Mega Events but keeping track of those items can get a bit tricky, especially if you are doing a larger shopping run. If you are not familiar with the Mega Event sales, you must make sure you buy the right amount of items in order to get the special sale prices; the current sale requires you to buy items in increments of 5.
As we were shopping yesterday we had one of those “why didn’t we think of this sooner” moments. You know the kind, when you think of or hear about a great idea that will make your life a little easier and you are amazed you had not thought about it before.
It dawned on us that our smart phone has a calculator on it so we pulled that out and set it in the cart’s seat area (by our binder). As we put participating items in the cart we added them to the total.
It worked like a charm, and we never had to count (or recount) the items or try and remember “was that a participating item” or not. We used this method on 2 different shopping trips to Kroger and it worked like a charm.
Just a suggestion.
How do you keep track of the items during the Mega Event?
