Ray,

It looks like you’ll be in groceries for a long time! Way to take advantage of a great deal! By the way, a lot of people also don’t know that the Kroger gift cards are good at Barclay Jeweler, Fred Meyer Jewelers, and Littman Jewelers. The gift cards are also good at those locations so you can get a nice discount on jewelry if you want!

This is a great deal and would like to point out that this offer is good at other Kroger grocery store brands. We bought ours through Fred Meyers which are located throughout the Pacific Northwest.

My family spends quite a bit on grociers so we maxed the $1200 limit. I told my friend about the offer but since he didn’t shop at Fred Meyers offered to let us use his rewards card to buy an additional $1200.

Jesse if there is no expiration on the gift cards it is the way to go as you are always going to need to eat. It is definately worth doing if you have the $600 bucks now as Ryan says it is free money.

Wow. You’re racking up the groceries! Given what the media says will happen to food prices over the next 6 months, this is a great idea.

Hi DGI,

I don’t think it makes me spend more money. I don’t even think about having the gift card until I pull it out to pay. It could have that affect on some people though, so I can understand that concern.

Wow, you are 18% ahead of inflation. My only question is whether knowing that you are getting a bargain actually makes you spend more money?
