Kroger Cart Buster Deal of the Day - Exclusive Downloadable Digital Coupon Save $1.50 on Oreo

Deals
Attention Kroger Shoppers! Shop the Kroger Cart Buster event from February 26–March 10 for great values, and download exclusive, digital coupons for Kroger’s “Deal Of The Day” at www.CartBuster.com! Happy Savings!

 

Today's special savings opportunity celebrates the 100th Birthday of Oreo. It's really amazing to think about it: Oreos have been around for a century! For sure, these crunchy pairs of dark chocolate circle cookies with creamy white filling inside are a tasty part of Americana and I'm betting that there's a good chance that you and/or your child are as big a fan as my family is about these classic cookies. 

Mom, Me and my Brother and Sister, Yellowstone Family Road Trip, Circa 1967
Oreos conjure up thoughts of nostalgia for me. As a Baby Boomer growing up in the 1960s I remember my mommy serving store-bought Oreos to us kids with a big glass of milk as a special treat. Mom would also pack these in our car and we'd eat them for lunch at rest stops and National Parks like Yellowstone along the way on our many family road trips, too. I even remember eating Oreos in college and drinking coffee to pull all nighters before big exams. Ah those were the days.

Oreo Cookies from Nabisco are 100 Years Old in 2012
Now a mom myself, I buy Oreos for my own kids as a special treat. They bring them to school for lunch as well as share them with friends after class. They're also a popular munchie during those late night study marathons that are so frequent now that my four teens are in high school. 

Soon my sons and daughters will be going off to college, too, and I have no doubt that they'll probably still be eating Oreo cookies as university students. I guess some things never change and do cross-over generation after generation.

With today's deal you can save $1.50 off a pack of Oreos. Take advantage of this great Deal of the Day savings opportunity by accessing and downloading your digital coupons now that are not available anywhere else but at www.cartbuster.com and only from 2/29 - 3/6.

Modern Day Oreo Cookies Are Still Classic, But Come in Lots of Varieties Now
With all this Oreo talk, I'm craving some of these cookies right now. If you decide to go out and buy some at Kroger, too, don't forget to visit Cart Buster to download savings coupons.

But, before you run out to the store leave a comment below recounting your most memorable Oreo moment.

The Gruffalo The Wiggles Kids Movie

Movie

Now in Theaters Plus DVD Toy Giveaway


Weekends in March Kidtoons Family Matinees presents the children's family-friendly movie The Gruffalo at select local theaters nationwide.


The Gruffalo Kids Movie in Theaters


MBE partnered with Kidtoons for this review and giveaway

The Storyline

This is the sweet animated story of a mouse who goes into the dark forest where he soon encounters a fox, owl and snake. The mouse tells this trio of creatures that he's here to visit The Gruffalo, a scary and ugly beast with giant tusks and a poisonous wart on his nose. Good thing there isn't really any such thing as The Gruffalo because the mouse has made this whole character up in his little mouse mind.

To celebrate another month's quality family entertainment theater program Kidtoon Films is providing a fun, huge prize package that includes The Gruffalo book, DVD, rhyming game and official theatrical poster from the movie to one lucky reader.
