Make Money Buying Crayons at Kroger

Kroger is running a catalina deal where if you spend $20 in select school supplies, you'll get a coupon for $4 off your next shopping order.  Their crayons are regularly priced around $2.25 but are on sale for $0.25!  When you buy 9 packs, though, Kroger recognizes it as $20 worth of school supplies so here's what it looks like...

Bought...
9 boxes of Crayola crayons $0.25 each

Coupons Used...
NONE

Paid $2.25 plus tax
Received a coupon for $4 off my next shopping order.
PROFIT of $1.75 for buying 9 boxes of crayons!!!

If crayons weren't on your son or daughter's school supply lists this year (like mine - sigh, must mean she's growing up if she needs colored pencils instead), then I suggest keeping some around the house for fun little projects or donating them.  We are taking several boxes up to a church in the Toronto area that our good friends are launching this month!
