A Kroger best buy.

At least in SW Ohio, every Thurs. Kroger reduces their roast chicken from $8 to $5. It is not a bantam bird, is available hot or cold and is, according to my taste, seasoned in a manner to complement, as opposed to masking, the flavor of the meat.

I haven't seen any roast chickens for $5. But I also only shop at Kroger very very rarely on Thursdays. I do my best to get as many fuel points as I possibly can, so I mostly shop on Fridays and do the competitors and things that don't get me a lot of fuel points, like fuel shops, on other days.

The deli take and bake pizzas are $3 off on Monday so $5. We've been really surprised by the quality and flavor!

In my area it is also $5 on Thursday. And i usually have a digital coupon I also use.

Food, take and bake suggests that the $5 pizza is raw; is that correct? The reason I ask is that my oven lacks the ability to raise a pie to the temp I enjoy.

Due to the coming snow storm, I moved a Monday Kroger to Sunday. While conducting the shop, I inquired as to if the Monday $5 pizza were raw. The worker stated I would have the option for them cooking the pie while I shopped/waited; this at the same $5. My next Monday Kroger that offers the pizza is 01/20 AND they have a combo. I will update this post with my opinion of both the taste and value.

As the $5 Thurs. roasted chicken is, in my opinion, a winner, I will be surprised if the pizza is not likewise.

As more snow is forecast and I use the Kroger shops to offset travel expenses to my store suppliers, I now have a Kroger scheduled for Mon. 01/13 to try their $5 pizzas.

Today, I had 4 shops and purchased 3 chickens; one of the stores was out of stock. At one of the delis, a worker mentioned the company was considering offering the 8 piece breaded bird, normally $9, for $6 on Tuesdays or Wednesdays.

My scheduler helped me rework my entire list of shops this round because of the snow. I was supposed to drive to GA today in 6 in. deep snow and ice. Now rescheduled for early next week after most of the ice should be off the roads, at least during the day.

My past Kroger $5 chickens were all eaten hot, so today I tried one cold. This to ascertain the bird's flavor; I prefer my food at least warm.

I was quite surprised I actually enjoyed my cold chicken lunch. Appox. 1/3 of the meat filled my stomach; I am currently at 240 lbs. That brought my cost to $1.66; a steal in today's economy.

Tomorrow, I will be commenting on my first Kroger $5 pizza. First, though, a reminder that the cost will be subtracted from my $9 reimbursement, BUT, there are not any goofy pics nor specific ordering requirements. I am down for the customary order of the 50s; everything but anchovies.

Edited on 01/13--Unfortunately, the Kroger I shopped today, being the oldest, 1958, and smallest, 5 registers, in my area, did not offer the option to heat pizza. Next Monday, though, I have a job at a store that opened 20 yrs. ago and is at least six times the size. I will again edit this post on 01/20.

Okie comments - Regarding the goofy pics and specific ordering requirements, I cannot help but laugh and agree.

Your $5 specials are now $6 in California. They are posted on a banner ad across the store front.
One of them is the sliced turkey or provolone, I think Tuesdays. Or maybe Thursdays, LOL.. I should probably make a note, it's not easy to find on the website.
