Hi Jennifer! I found 2 great deals at Krogers today. Sun Laundry Detergent is on sale 2/$5. There are coupons right beside them for Buy 2 Get 1 Free, so basically you get 3/$5! The other is on Nestle Ultimate Filled Cookies, in the refrigerated section. They are on sale for $2, and have a peelie on them for $1 off! That makes them on $1!
