Yay! We have a NEW Kroger and Affliates (Ralphs, Smiths) instant win game. Just head on over here and choose your local store. Sign in and add 5 select 5 items. Once you have selected 5 items– balloons will pop up and you can choose one for a prize!
I got $1 off my next $1 or more purchase! Looks like you can play once everyday up until 1/12.
What did you win?! I hope one of you get $15!!
Thanks, thecentsableshoppin













My Name is Josie and I live in sunny Southern California and I am a stay at home mom to three beautiful boys. We all know that living in California is a task of it's own and saving in California IS possible! I started this blog mainly to share all the awesome deals out there and show others how to save in any area of life. Even though you may make the commitment to be frugal and pinch your pennies doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice!
I tried a couple of times and no balloons popped up….:( no go for me, sad.
got a $1 Yay!
$5!
Yay! I got $10 off! Thanks!
Got $5 off! Was going to do the $5 off 5 promo, so now it’ll be $10 off 5!
I got a $1 and so did my mom! Will the $1 automatically come off our total or will it print like a catalina???
The $1 will come off of your original total
Thanks!
I got $1 off, but I could not get the program to work in firefox-I finally got it to work in Explorer
Does anypne know if Fred Meyer a Kroger store? Thank you!
I selected QFC as the store, but then I entered my email login for my Fred Meyer reward card and it took. I now have $1 off loaded to my Fred Meyer card. Does anyone know if we can play again the next day?
Yes you can
i got $1 off!
i got $1 , can i have a cashier at food for less scan my ralphs card to use my dollar off
I was wondering about that because my F4L doesn’t have a card so I went with Ralphs.
I’m glad you brought this up. My store in LA never offers the card, but I was able to get one by mail. I signed up for it online. I haven’t used it, but I was wondering if anyone else has in Southern CA??
in case anyone is wondering, f4l does have a reward card where you can loads coupons and earn points. they don’t advertise in store, but I requested online and it came by mail. I was able to load this coupon and used it in store.
I think you can probably use your Ralphs card at F4L because there was a time when I forgot my Ralph’s card and tried using my F4L alternate ID (phone number) at Ralphs and it went through and gave me the member price. Later that day, I saw the Ralphs purchase/points go towards my F4L account online.
My F4L didn’t used to have physical cards either, but once they opened up the Fuel Center they’ve been advertising for the card. I’ve noticed that they only really give out/advertise for the card at the F4L with the fuel center (Lemon Grove, San Diego) and the rest of the F4L in the San Diego area are basically the same.
Last but not least, I’ve used my F4L points for fuel rewards at Shell, even though Shell is only advertised to give fuel rewards for Ralphs points.
Wow thanks for sharing- I got $5 off!!! Yahoo!
I got 5.00 Yay!!! look forward to playing tomorrow
I am not able to get through on Chrome or IE…
Since you can play once a day till 1/12 anybody knows of these accumalate?
Yeah, they do. I just played again and got $1. Yesterday I got $5. In my digital coupon account it shows each coupon off my next purchase! Woohoo!
I WON $10 OFF!!! I wasn’t able to access this game at first. Being persistent definitely paid off!
Thanks! I got $10.00 off. Very Cool!
Just got $15! Thanks for letting us know!
i got $5 off! !
Oh wow! I got $5.
I got a $1 for the 2nd day in a row.
I got $1 the first day and $10 today, thanks Josie.
can this be used on anything? not just the 5 off 5 items?
Yes it can be used on pretty much anything in the store.
thanks josie! is there a way to see the expiration date of the amount we won by any chance?
Mine says january 19
Has anyone redeemed their winnings at the store? I am wondering because I played two days in a row and would both days winnings come off of the same transaction or is it one winning per transaction?
I went today and both of my winnings came off in the same transaction
Yay I got $10. I love this site, without you and totallytarget I wouldn’t save as much as I do.
Has anyone tried the game today? I am having trouble with it. I get to the balloons but am unable to pop one….wondering if it’s just me or the game…? thanks!
I am having the same problem.
I was having problems too! I was unable to pop any of the balloons. I even picked all of them to see if it would work. I refreshed to try again and then it told me I did not win. =(
I went to ralph’s last night and my 1$ didn’t come off. I just checked to see if it was the right card number and it was… confused. :\ I just won another 5$ today so I hope next time I go it’ll work!
I wonder if it matters which balloon you pick, or it is predetermined. My wife and i both got something ($1 mostly and $5 once) for the first 3 days, but today, we got ‘Sorry You Didn’t Win’ for the first time. Will pick a different balloon tomorrow.
i dont think which ballon you pop matters . first i though each ballon is 15 ,10, 5 1 and no win , so 1 chance on 5 not to win . i ve been playing for the past couple days haven’t win a thing .either i m REALLY unlucky or everyday its already pre -selected . (i m guessing they are giving the high value one to frequent shoppers ?)
I just came from Ralphs and both of my prizes came off my receipt. I am still unable to play the game a third time….any ideas why?
its so frustrating i ve been playing everyday . haven’t been able to win anything …
ive played everyday and have gotten $1 off each time…except today..i didnt win anything
I won twice $1 each time, went to Ralph’s today and NOTHING……..nothing came off at all, I had NOT checked prior, just took the pop up thing at it’s word that it would be loaded to my card……the cashier told me to call customer service in the morning, which I TOTALLY plan on doing………..will also ask if there’s a “limit” to how many times you can win something, as I hit the $1 2 days in a row and now it tells me no winner try again……
It never loaded to my card……at all………….
I called…..it loaded, my adorable 20 year old daughter redeemed them on Saturday….she doesn’t live at home…..lol…….anyway…….you can win EVERYDAY….it does not stop after 2 wins…..now, if I could just pick the right balloon again…..i’ve lost 3 days in a row
