My Biggest Grocery Mistake EVER! Weekly Sale Ads vs. Walmart Prices

[@karenburton2618]

Janice, I worked the front office at Kroger for 13 years. There is a place for a 10 number alternate ID. Just put your phone number in there and you never have to have your card with you. You just click ALT ID on the keypad and enter your number. You can also get a card for Shawn or an older child. Then you can click digital coupons on each account. Just do separate checkouts and you could get 5 weekly specials on each card. Hope this helps!

[@leannekenyoung]

Oh I hope she reads this!!! This could really help when she’s shopping sales for such a large family!!!❤️🥰🇨🇦🍁🙏🏻

[@cullumosity]

Kroger's customer service phone line is usually good about fixing things if coupons don't apply when they should have. I've had them give a "customer relations" credit to our Kroger account in a similar situation. Since you did have the coupons loaded on your account the day you went shopping, it seems that they would fix it. Our family enjoys your channel and the tips on good grocery sales!

[@CheriGoodwin]

Janice, you are a strong woman, call the Kroger store and talk to them. I'm sure they will refund your money... and that's quite a bit of money. Ask Shawn to take the cucumbers back for you. The store needs to know when they are selling spoiled produce. And you will get some fresh cucumbers. Happy Birthday Sweet Abigail Girl!!!! Your beautiful smile and warm heart make my heart smile! Have a blessed day!

[@bethfloyd8489]

Happy Birthday Abigail!! I hope you had a spectacular birthday celebrating YOU! You have the happiest smile and sweetest spirit. 🎉🧁💐 And congrats on 27k subscribers Ms Janice!

[@mimijulene6307]

Oh Janice you are so great at saving, please remember we all make mistakes and you deserve grace! If this happened with a friend, you would never admonish her, so please don’t be hard on yourself!

[@Lbm81007]

Your smile when u said its full price .. but its his birthday ❤🎉 could feel the proud moma moment ❤

[@suz1017]

Happy 9th birthday to the girl who is always smiling, Abigail! Glad you had a great day and well done on finding the mother duck and her ducklings! I think having the same butterfly cake design every birthday is a splendid tradition to carry on. I love butterflies too. Enjoy being 9. That was my favourite age. Happy 13th birthday David! Hope your party was everything you wished it to be and more. You are an amazing, hard working, caring and loving young man with so many talents and achievements. You are a son any parent would be immensely proud of and a much loved brother to all your siblings. Janice, I have every faith in you being able to work with the rest of the budget! Is it possible to have a week off from grocery shopping and use up some of your canned goods and other reserves instead? I am sure you did this a while ago. Hope you all have a blessed weekend 🙏❤🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@shelleydavies1639]

you are such a loyal Kroger customer...just take your recipt and your spoiled cucumbers back to store...they will make it right. get another card for Sean.

[@saraharellano9399]

Happy Birthday Abigail. 🎉 I remember when I turned 9, in 1990. My mom took me to get my ears pierced and I felt so special that day. Miss Janice, I love the great chicken migration behind you at the end of the video. 😂🐔

[@rachelhorne2841]

Bless you, Janice. Some days are just that way. Even the occasional oopps, you do an amazing job.

[@deborahkelley4719]

Janice, I truly admire how you manage your family homestead. You're truly a genuine soul. Keep up the good work. Be blessed in all you and Shawn do. Your children are precious 💖 Happy Birthday 🎂 🥳 🎉 to your son From Virginia

[@maegardnermills4292]

Congratulations 27K. Happy Birthday Abigail and David. Lots of happiness to all of you.

[@leecopeland2061]

Thank you for explaining the big party for David and not Abigail. I was wondering too. That's a great way to do things to have one blow out party on turning 13yrs old for each child. Especially with having 7 children! I love your family your kids are amazing! So are you Janice!! How you keep things running smoothly teaching the children how to do chores and help out the family and not in front of tv or video games etc. Awesome job! I enjoy watching your videos! ❤God bless. ❣️✝️💖

[@LindaDavis-hi2un]

Wow! What a great party that’s going to be. Have a wonderful birthday David🎉❤😊

[@CheriGoodwin]

Happy Birthday David!!! Janice, keep in mind that if you had his birthday party at Chuck E. Cheese's or any of those kid pizza places, the bill would have been $500 or so. Hope you guys have a wonderful day celebrating your son's birthday! Cheri

[@karenpowell2828]

The yard looks fantastic! You all did work hard. Happy Birthday to Abigail!

[@WendyMullins-j8q]

I agree with some of your followers as well I think you should call the store you also should have Sean take those cucumbers back and tell them that you just purchased them. I promise they will give you another back. It’s all about customer service and shop there enough that you deserve that quality.

[@karbear26]

Looks like Abigail had a nice birthday and I hope David had a wonderful Party tomorrow!! That’s frustrating you didn’t get the deals you were expecting because you didn’t have your card!! Looks like you did a wonderful job cleaning up that tree from the storm! I could see the mama duck in the grass!

[@noreenp.9858]

I agree with you Janice….its much easier to say snack tray then charcuterie board!

[@tracylanglois6327]

Happy Birthday sweet Abigail! 🎉🎂🎈

[@Kris-tu7rl]

A very happy 9th birthday to Abigail and 13th birthday to David, two very special kids! I'm sure the party was a wonderful celebration! 😊🎂🎈🎉

[@amberthompson3311]

I feel for you on the Kroger issue! I just had to go to the service desk yesterday because one of the coupons that I was sure I had clipped was not clipped. The gal told me that this was a common problem with the app and it was sometimes only fixed the day before the sale ended. If you are going back anyway, maybe you could take this receipt, explain the problem and just see if they can do something since you are still in the same sales period. They are usually very understanding and willing to help out in my experience! I think it is worth a try! You are a great customer there. Go Janice!

[@stephaniehancock5166]

Janice go ahead and get an adjustment. It happens to me every once and awhile and they seem they are used to it. It is easier to go while the sale is still going on since you do not have a sale ad but they may have one. Also you can put your card on your phone and they scan that. I have not used a card in a couple of years now and you can scan everything to make sure you clipped the coupon. Please go back they can adjust it.

[@veronicalillianmoses9571]

I just got notifation you got the candy and drink mixs. Happy Monday other gifts out for delivery Monday. Enjoy.

[@faithlaw8516]

Happy Birthday sweet Abigail!! I hope it is great!!

[@susanmcroberts8877]

I feel so bad for you! I hope you can do what the subscriber recommended about calling Kroger. Please don't be hard on yourself, you were the same wonderful person who cleaned up after a bad storm this week-my heart was so touched that everyone just pitched in and did "the next right thing!" I think you are all wonderful. Hugs!

[@bernm1948]

Charcuterie boards all the rage in UK too. Often done Italian ones in the past. Delicioso! Hope David has a good birthday….not heard you mention birthday parties before….have fun!

[@Susanjoc]

They only have them at age 13.

[@juliaelgendy6879]

Happy Birthday Abigail!🎂🎊🎈 Happy Birthday David!🎂🎊

When you go back to Kroger for the oranges, take your receipt in and have the service desk fix it for you.

Went to Poplar Bluff on Wednesday and the damage in Fairdealing is so bad. Broke my heart for those people.

I know, Michelle! I didn't realize the damage that others had received, so I'm especially grateful for our very manageable damage.

Hi Janice that is a lot of food and you did a great job picking out everything for the party's. I want to say say happy birthday to David and Abigail HAPPY BIRTHDAY i hope you have a great day and party. I am sure you will have no problem everyone will eat up all the food and have a great time. Take Care .

[@lynnechilton5794]

You won’t believe it but a whole cabbage here is $15! I’ve never seen that price before .To solve the card problem I ordered another and put in hubbys wallet and put a sticker saying “use flybuys in Coles “ so he remembers to tap the card for points is working well Happy Birthday to Abigail and David and have fun🎉🌼🌺🎂

[@carolenelowe9121]

Go back for your credit!! Kroger’s is great at customer service.

[@reginastephens935]

Poplar Bluff Kroger is really good to work with you on stuff like that. Keep your receipt and go to the service desk.

[@Traveler-nu8xc]

I mainly shop Walmart in my town & Aldi. I work >50 hours as a RN and have 7 grandkids I pitch in with so no time to do anything more. Our stores don’t really have ads. The yard looks great, good work!

It is your right as a consumer to get a refund. Believe me, they’re not looking to see who they overcharged! 😊 Stand up for YOU.

Janice, Bless you. Before you shop at Kroger next time, go to the business counter and change all your info. From that moment forward you only need your phone number to check out. Please tell David Happy Birthday from Alabama.

Aww that's a bummer 😢,Pat yourself on the back,You do so much ❤

Happy Birthday sweety pie Abigail! There is an angel for sure! Sorry about the mix up Janice. Those things do happen and it can be frustrating. Big Hugs and Love to all! 😍😶🤗

[@saras4181]

Our Kroger card is very old too, I had search through our stuff to find the password my husband had used for the account so I could log in to be able to add the digital coupons. It feels bad to think you're getting a good price but then learn you did not get a good price.....it happens Janice, I understand. Hope y'all have a great birthday party for David! Happy Birthday Abigail!

[@karencolby5479]

Hi, contact the store. They should be aware they have a quality control issue. Most stores in my area will double or triple refund the price for the inconvenience. If you have to return the product, they will let you know when you call. Just put a bag over it until next visit, most companies will just take your word. A picture is another option. Good - Luck and wish David a Happy Birthday! God - Bless!

[@martitasez]

Janice, if you have to go in on Friday anyway, call Aldi's and explain it, tell them you can't make it in till Friday. Most likely they'll just let you exchange it.

[@conniemassie2496]

Janice , take back the baby cucumbers ALDIs will give you new item and your money ! And definitely get your digital coupon money back at Kroger. Don’t feel bad. It wasn’t your fault. Good luck with your party. Happy birthday David .🎉

[@donnastratton8905]

Kroger will adjust with your receipt don't feel bad about asking

[@peggycarnes-s8q]

I myself would have went back in. I wuld have questioned the large amount.

[@inesterway9982]

Omg. I would have gone back in. I’d return those cucumbers too.

[@normamason3185]

With regard to the grape tomatoes, I found the same thing with our Aldi here in Florida. They were prominently showing the Cherubs but hid the regular grape tomatoes around the corner from the display.

[@peggycarnes-s8q]

Janice, I feel so bad for you. You do an amazing job. Maybe if other people coming could have brought a dish. There is nothing wrong with that. 😊

[@patriciamorland7458]

Janice you are very blessed to have a pretty good food budget and you have a very nice stock pile of food and you and your family are being blessed a lot from very sweet people that have given you blessings with gift cards. And like you say a lot that you won’t go hungry if you weren’t given the gift cards. There are a lot of people with family that are going hungry. Have you ever thought about blessing a family with the gift cards that are going hungry because they have no budget at all. I’m so happy your family is doing so good because there are a lot of families that are not doing so well. God bless you and your family ❤

Janice, that’s a great idea for birthdays.

[@jacquethirlkel3001]

Hi! Thanks again for your great shopping video!!! Call the grocery store on the cukes. They will replace them. If people do not like farm food they can learn to like it but you are so nice to spend more money to please picky guests. Again . a problem shopping trip for you is still a great victory for the rest of us !! Have a great birthday party for David! God bless!

[@dawnsullivan7325]

happy bday david and abigail...i too would prefer a big cookput with lots od friends...nothing better!!!

We actually use our gift fund for family birthdays as needed. I find that helps a lot for my food budget. Sounds like you have something similar in your "cushion."

[@cnk2hoo]

Omg, I haven't had a physical card for Kroger in years! So sorry you had that issue, but glad you've attached an alt I'd. I would also recommend their app. I find that easier than the website, and it has a scannable barcode as well.

[@tinahiggins5789]

Thanks for sharing

[@WendyMullins-j8q]

Janice I just noticed one of your roosters perched up in your rock bed and at first I thought it was one of those metal yard pics because he was so beautiful colors and all. I’m so glad that you guys are catching up with your yard. It does look a lot better and I’m grateful that God protected you all.

[@youmayclapifyoulike]

Janice, I think all of us have made the mistake of not having the right card with us at a store. I am confident that if you bring in your receipt and your card and go to customer service, they’ll give you a refund on those sale items you ended up getting at regular price because of the card issue. PLEASE consider doing that!

[@gingerbatchelder9969]

Oohhh nooo ! I definitely would have taken the sale items and receipt back in . I’m sure they have plenty of people do that . And the cucumber , I’ve had that issue before too . I don’t think I’ll be buying them in the bag again . Take them back . They’ll let you get new ones . Good Luck !

[@JustAllisonM]

So glad I saw that you posted today.

[@nancywilbur3463]

Sorry if people are uncomfortable with “farm food”, where do they think food comes from, plus there are not unknown additives or chemicals.

[@ashalacarte]

Just call customer service and tell them how much the coupons were and they will credit you back. It happens. Also if you have the app on your phone it has the scan barcode

[@colleenhurley9195]

I lost my card years ago. I always use my alternate ID...which is my phone number. That's a terrible mistake...but I feel like we have all done it at some point in time. Glad you got your number added to it.

It happened to me but it was a watermelon 🍉 it was soft on the side of it and my hubby did notice it when he picked it up and we live in the country so it’s not around the corner I called and he said bring it with you when you come to town with receipt and we did 3 days later and he said just pick another watermelon and we are even 👍🍉 take your receipt back to Kroger to get the sale prices I do it all the time at Costco

[@Layla-ir3sl]

How much do you get for gas on average from Kroger points? Does it cover your gasoline costs completely?

Just a heads up, krogers point program is changing June 5th. You’ll still be able to use them for fuel OR you can use them for dollars off!

You poor thing. Your face turned red when you told us about the card problem. It’s obvious it bothered you. It would have bothered me too. I enjoy your channel so much.
