Kroger has an instant win game on their site that is awesome! You will need to login/register using your Kroger card and if you win you’ll get free grocery prizes loaded directly onto your card. I won a Free Lunchable. Not that exciting but it’s free!

What was exciting was that when I was done I found a full list of items for a real upcoming Mega Event. I don’t know when this starts since most of us are currently running “Cart Buster” Deals but hopefully it will start next weekend. For any of you in an area that starts Sales on Wendesday you might find this starting tomorrow!!

Does anyone else have a problem with it saying “There was an error saving your preferred store. The selected preferred store is either empty or invalid.” I tried different zips, but still can't get it to work…I remember I've had this problem before when trying to register with Kroger…

Barb

I got nada. It was somewhat irritating.

annemarie73

I know right? I didn't win anything either. Is there a trick to it? It seems as if everyone else is winning something.
jen

same. nada. do you have to get the basketball in the hoop to win?

WhisperCat

yeah, I didn't get anything either. and no directions or anything. it said to click on the b-ball so I did. it didn't say you had to get it in the hoop. and it didn't even show the hoop until after I click the ball. what the heck?

Amanda

me too, so disappointing :( maybe tomorrow
jerilyn

me too, thought I was the only one.. oh well, i will play daily!

Suemh

No, you're not the only one. Oh. well, maybe tomorrow.

Michelle

I read this about the contest: “Once a participant has won two Instant Win prizes, no further Instant Win prizes will be awarded to that Participant. However, additional log ins will result in additional Sweepstakes Grand Prize drawing entries.”

michelle

That's not necessarily true because I have won 3 times. Cal Pizza Kitchen Pizza, Reese, and $5 credit.

Tobys_Mom

Help, what did I do wrong??? I logged in and this screen came up that said “you are not a winner” but I didnt do anything. Am I missing something or is logging in all I have to do????
WhisperCat

Looking forward to the mega event. Almost every pet item I buy is on the list! Pet products are the worst as far as sales usually.
sharon60

Has anyone won today? Yesterday with dial up I won a King Size Reese Cup (THANKS JENNY) but today, I threw the ball 1 time and the hoop got larger (which it didn't do yesterday) and I missed, so no freebie today for me but it came up with a survey. So if I play every day, am I automatically entered in the Sweepstakes? Maybe I messed up b/c I went back to the site 3times yesterday to read all the stuff and it thought I was entering every time.

Snellmom

I went back to the site today and won free cheese from Kraft. Not sure why you didn't get anything, but someone said that they are limited to how many prizes you can receive and several said they didn't get anything yesterday.

Ashley

I didn't even get a chance to throw the ball..It didn't show a ball it just automatically took me to a page that says “Sorry you are not a winner at this time”. Anyone else get this?

AnneK

me too – did not have a chance to click on the ball – booooo:(

alexis

Score! I won a $5 shopping credit loaded to my Kroger card. Thanks Jenny.
Julie

Got $5 off my next trip! Woohoo!
http://backwellfamily.blogspot.com/ Kate

Del

I didn't win anything. You guys suck.

michelle

Quit complaining. You can play every day until Apirl 6 (i think). You will win eventually.

Laura

nothing for me – maybe tomorrow
deborah39

I wona pack of Oscar Myer Hot Dogs!
Kristi

Played yesterday and won $5 off!! Played again today and won Free King Size (4) Reeses cups!! I love this game!
Julie

Mine went straight to a survey & then told me I wasn't an instant winner.
bengalsfan1

I just played and won FREE Kraft Cheese!!!
bengalsfan1

I just played and won FREE Kraft Cheese!!!!
Jessthere

2 days in a row I did not even get to take the shot, took me to a page that said sorry your are not a winner. Tried again today, did not make the shot – no price for me :(
Jessica

I'm so confused as to how this thing works…the first day I signed up, I instantly won the hot dogs, without doing anything. Yesterday, I just got taken straight to a survey and got nothing. Today, I put the basketball in the hoop and won a Reece's. I thought you could only play twice anyway???? Oh well, not complaining!
ShoeBits

No prize for me. :~(
stephanie77

I won $5 store credit just by playing the game! Whooo Hoooo!
Sabrina Williams

I've won the Reese's king size & $5 store credit. Woohoo! :)
bengalsfan1

I played again today and won a California Pizza!!!
Deborah

I've played 2 days and I haven't won anything.

NatalieQ

I've played like 8 days and still nothing. What's up? Seems like everyone else has been winning within the first couple of tries. Boo hoo. I'll keep trying I guess.

Rachelle

I've played over and over since it started and I have yet to get that ball into the basket. It always spins around and around then off the side. Don't think I'll be winning anything in this game even though I've played repeatedly… :(

aolss

Found a great deal on batteries at Kroger

4 pack of Energizer AA or AAA $1/pack plus they had stacks of the 0.75/1 pk laying on top of the display. I think 2 packs of C or D as well as 1 pk 9-V were included but those were sold out so I'm not for sure.

Also found a Live Wholeheartedly Booklet with the following coupons inside (all manufacturer's coupons, expire 4/30 except Pepperidge Farm which is 4/15)

$1 two 12-packs of diet coke or caffeine free diet coke
$1 two multipack bottles of diet coke or caffeine free diet coke
$1 two Swanson Premium Chunk Chicken Breast
$1 one nestea 0.5 liter 12-pack, any flavor
$2 two pepperidge farms baked naturals snack crackers or whole grain breads
$1 two dasani 12-pack bottles
$1 three prego Heart smart italian sauces
$1 two nestea fridgepack cans
$1 three Campbells' Healthy Request Select Harvest or Chunky
itismedia

I won a 5.00 off on my card the first time I played, nothing the second time I played, but another 5.00 the third time I played. The weird thing is this time it told me I needed to contact customer service to have it loaded on my card and pulled up a form. Has this happened to anyone else?

Barb

Actually I can't win a thing. I have played every day and nothing.

jess

i just won another reeses king size.. i won one yesterday too, and today it told me to email customer service to get the prize loaded onto my card. im thinking its not going to happen. ive had trouble with them in the past for not taking a coupon off on my card, and then never helping me. i guess ill see..

adriandg

I went in tonight and was planning on using my $5 credit as well as my free Reese's, but they didn't come off of my order and none of the CS people seemed to know what I was talking about. Then the Mgr came and said that he didn't have to honor it because technically the sale wasn't supposed to start for another couple of weeks. He did end up giving me a $6 credit, but he didn't really want to. It seems like they don't quite have all the kinks worked out for this yet!

jmreese34

I just won $5 instant in store credit loaded on my Kroger card! Yay! I am so Excited!!
Chris

I just did the instant win game and I won 5.00 off my next purchase at Kroger! It was loaded to my Kroger card! How cool! Plus, I just got my 'new' coupons in the mail from Kroger for 5.00 off a 45.00 purchase, so this is great! Thanks for letting us know!
olemissmoss

I won a free bag of Kraft snack cubes or sticks. Yay!
olemissmoss

The buy 8 items and get $4 off deals begins in two weeks. This is what the Kroger website had to say…”In store savings available 3/14/2010 – 3/27/2010. Not available in all markets, see your local store for details. Savings not available at Fred Meyer stores.”
Carol Ann Perkins

I got on the Kroger website, logged in and tried to find March to savings and had no luck. What am I doing wrong!

Barb

I officially hate this game.

Frustrated

I got nothing! Time waster for me!

http://www.facebook.com/people/Joey-Jones/100000394018416 Joey Jones

I lost first time but won today on the second time. You can play once a day every day so obviously they aren't going to give you a free item EVERY time…Patience grrrassshopppa…

http://www.facebook.com/people/Joey-Jones/100000394018416 Joey Jones

Just used my totally awesome superior basketball skills and swished it, most skillful click of the mouse hands down ;p I got me some free kraft cheese! sweet
misskris

So the mega event is start date is at the bottom of the list, it reads:

“In store savings available 3/14/2010 – 3/27/2010. Not available in all markets, see your local store for details. Savings not available at Fred Meyer stores.”

Barb

That would seem right because the 3/7 Kroger ad is a repeat of the cart buster sale.

I really don't think I need anything else from that promotion.

Cristy

WOOT! I won a $5 free credit added to my card. Thanks for passing this along!
jmreese34

I won a Free bag of Kraft snack cubes or sticks. Awesome!
Jessthere

I played again yesteday and won the Maxwell House coffee, yeah!!! This is the coffee we drink so excited to get a $6 sale price item for FREE.
Mistletoes405

Evidentally my virtual basketball skills are equivalent to my real life basketball skills. LOL I've been playing every day and still can't get the stupid ball in the hole! It's a good thing I've got another month to figure this out!
mattiehyde

I got free kraft cheese block.
fjsmstoddard

Won a free pizza!!!
michelleinwilliston

I went to Kroger's yesterday and I had several coupons for Betty Crocker products, but when I went to check out the cashier would only let me use 2 manufacturer coupons. For instance, I buy 6 boxes of muffin mix and I had six coupons all 50 cents each but I was only able to use 2 of them. I was told the Kroger only allows you to use 2 manufacturer coupons on any one item. I have done this before with Publix and I have not had a problem. Has anyone else had a problem with this? Is this information correct that I can not use more than two coupons?
hcblevins

I won $5! Thanks!
Brooke

How do you play this game ? I can't get the ball in.

Erin

I have the same problem…I click on the ball and it doesnt go in the hoop. Annoying!!

8tina

Click on the center of the ball!!! That helped me. I lost 4 or 5 times in a row and now I've won twice!

kerri

Thanks! I got $5, too!
Melissa

YEAH! $5 for our family also! How much fun is that!
cdhicks99

I have played 6 times already, each time no wins. I just played and got a $5 store credit!!!! Gotta love Kroger!
shananava

Kroger game. Free Lunchable last week, $5 free today! Loving this game. Pray BF doesnt use my coupon. He said I only won $2.50 lol. His cad registered and can only register to one person lol.
coupons0202

Is anyone else having problems with Kroger's website? It comes up but I'm not able to click on anything?!?!?!?
AnneK

Hmmm, just played again – for the 11th day in a row and still no wins….:(. You'd think Kroger would disperse their winnings better – or maybe I'm just bitter and jealous of all you winners out there – haha.
http://allfrugalstuff.blogspot.com/ Amanda

I just played and won a king size Reese's cups!
http://twitter.com/chudson316 Courtney Hudson

Ive won $5 credit, and a Coke Zero. But I don't drink Coke Zero. I wish I could transfer it to one of you that does!!!
Alexis

After playing EVERY day since this came out, I just now noticed that it says there is a limit of two prizes per account! I guess I can stop playing now since I won $5 and a king size reeses pb cup…
jenandthefabbakerboys

There is a limit of two prizes per account. :-(
Jessthere

1st win coffee, 2nd win pizza. I love this site!!! Thanks for all you do Jenny. Yesterday between Publix and Kroger I spent $110 including tax and saved $226.
Rachelle

I've played over and over since it started and I have yet to get that ball into the basket. It always spins around and around then off the side. Don't think I'll be winning anything in this game even though I've played repeatedly… :(
