My family took full advantage of this offer and used a cashback credit card to purchase the gift card to get an additional 1% savings. This is an amazing deal if you typically spend this much at the participating supermarket. It's like getting a risk-free return of 10%. Where can you get that kind of return in the markets? More if you consider it's after tax and an additional 1% if you use a cash back credit card. Note that Kroger's has several different branded stores where this special is good at. My local store is Fred Meyer's and they're located throughout the Pacific Northwest. The Kroger deal expires July 30th.
