I check Kroger’s BOGO offers before paying full price for everyday favorites. These seven deals show exactly what to grab when each promotion rolls around, helping every grocery dollar go further.
Prices were checked at a Kroger in Granbury, Texas on October 17; they vary by store and change with each week’s ad.
1. TGI Fridays Mozzarella Sticks with Marinara Sauce Frozen Appetizers – $3.75
TGI Fridays’ frozen mozzarella sticks come with marinara and go from freezer to oven for an easy appetizer. The approximate $3.75 price is appealing, but without a confirmed current offer, I’d wait for the next verified BOGO before stocking up.
Parting Thoughts: Keep this one on your watch list instead of counting on a discount at checkout.
2. General Mills Rice Chex Cereal – $4.99
Breakfast and homemade snack mix both get covered by this shelf-stable 12-ounce cereal. At $4.99 with a card, the current buy-one-get-one-free offer through 10/20 brings two boxes home for the price of one.
Parting Thoughts: For a versatile pantry buy, this is one of the week’s clearest values.
3. Tillamook Sharp White Cheddar Cheese Block – $4.99
I use an 8-ounce cheddar block for sandwiches, snacks, and weeknight cooking, so a second one rarely goes to waste. The $4.99 refrigerated cheese is buy one, get one free with a card through 10/20.
Parting Thoughts: Cheese regularly disappears in my house, making this an easy stock-up.
4. Private Selection Petite Red and Gold Gourmet Potatoes – $3.99
Weeknight sides become cheaper with these 1.5-pound bags of petite red and gold potatoes. Buy one at $3.99 and get one free with a card through 10/20, leaving another bag ready for a later stovetop meal.
Parting Thoughts: The practical payoff is two flexible fresh sides for one regular price.
5. Johnsonville Dr Pepper Inspired Smoked Sausage – $5.00
A skillet dinner can start with this refrigerated 14-ounce smoked sausage, whether it lands in pasta or a breakfast hash. It is marked down to $5.00 from $5.49, and the card offer is buy three, get three free through 10/20.
Parting Thoughts: That six-package commitment pays off for bigger households, but solo shoppers may want to skip it.
6. Bakery Fresh Vanilla Mini Cupcakes – $5.00
Last-minute parties are easier with a 12-count package of vanilla mini cupcakes already handled. The $5.00 package is buy one, get one free with a card through 10/20, which stretches the budget to 24 cupcakes.
Parting Thoughts: For a crowd-ready bakery shortcut, the doubled quantity makes the deal worthwhile.
7. Tyson Frozen Crispy Chicken Breast Strips – $9.79
Freezer meal backups are the real strength of these 25-ounce bags of crispy chicken breast strips. This week’s card offer through 10/20 makes the $9.79 bags buy one, get one free.
Parting Thoughts: Two substantial bags for $9.79 earn this deal a spot in my freezer.
