Richmond Bargains is sporting a new look! It’s been in planning mode (ie: in my head) for a while, I’ve spent a couple weeks trying to get it right, and I still have some more tweaking to do. Please let me know if you run into problems, and I’ll see what I can do with my limited WordPresskillz.

Since a long-overdue re-design is cause for celebration, I’ve got a $25 Kroger gift card to give away. As I mentioned before, Kroger invited myself and some other local bloggers to learn more about the company, including programs such as its fuel rewards. We each received a Kroger gift card for ourselves and more to give to readers.

To enter to win, just leave a comment here on the blog. Topic is commenter’s choice; possibilities include “I love Kroger!,” thoughts on the blog re-design, your favorite bargain scored lately, etc. One entry per person. Subscribing and spreading the word doesn’t earn extra entries (but it does earn my eternal gratitude!). Be sure to include your email so I can contact you if you win.

Eligibility: Open to residents of Virginia 18 years and older.

Contest ends next Tuesday 5/25 at 11:59pm EDT. Winner will be chosen by Random.org, will be notified by email, and will have 48 hours from notification to provide their mailing address.

Finally, comments must be approved by me and I will be out-of-town starting tomorrow, so it might take up to a day for your entry to appear. Please be patient and thanks for reading!

Love your blog!

Ditto Kim- I’ve been a hardcore Kroger girl even before Ukrop’s was sold. Can’t beat their Mega Deals, coupons etc and my store has always had fresh, good-looking produce and lots of organic items.

Karie May 19, 2010

I grew up in northern Kentucky in the fifties. My mom shopped at Kroger. Since Kroger came to Richmond, I’ve been shopping there, too. It is a great store that has improved with age.
I am really enjoying Richmond Bargains. Thanks SO much!

Cathie May 19, 2010

Box of chocolate sounds good but have you tried their bakery cookies! I love Kroger’s sugar cookies! Yummy!

Latasha May 19, 2010

I like shopping at Krogers-especially when they have a sale. I LOVE richmondbargains.com. I am always in the know when it comes to sales and discounts. Keep up the excellent work and thanks for making this site.

Qiana May 19, 2010

I love Krogers especially when they do the 10 for $10!

Travis May 19, 2010

Kroger and I go way back. I just discovered this blog, it’s funny where a couple of clicks on the internet can get you. I promise to follow religiously, fellow bargainer.

scott May 19, 2010

Love the site and the deals you post. You have already saved me money. The new design looks great. Keep up the good work!

liz May 20, 2010

Great site! Such good deals that are saving everyone money in a time like this. I DO love Kroger! They are always having manager’s specials and promos that really save money on your grocery bill. For example, last time I was in there, they had their brand of yogurt 3 for $1! And they have promotions like if you buy 5 participating items, you get one free. Such a great spot!
Your new design does look great- simple and effective!

Mandy May 20, 2010

I love Kroger — I even take it to the next level with their rewards credit card. We use the fuel points and get Kroger certificates every quarter that are equal to 1% cash back.

Ryan May 20, 2010

I just started going to the Richmond Bargains website & I love it so far. The website gives me great information on all the great bargains in the area. Keep up the good work!!!

Ann May 20, 2010

I went to Kroger yesterday and found the Scrubbing Bubbles Power Sprayer on sale for $6.02. I used my $5 off coupon from the 4/11 SS and was excited to get it for ~$1. The cashier then handed me my receipt and a Catalina compliments of Scrubbing Bubbles for $3 off my next order – a ~$2 money maker!

Mysty May 20, 2010

Allison you do a great job with this site, I tell everyone about it!! Content is fantastic and new layout is pleasing to the eyes. (Not that it wasn’t before) I would love the chance to win the Kroger gift card, thanks for offering it!!

Cindy May 20, 2010

This is one of the best Richmond blogs I’ve come across. I LOVE IT! Thanks so much for putting it together. And, oddly enough, I love Kroger too. It’s my “go-to” grocery store and can’t be beat for everyday shopping.

Jean May 21, 2010

Love Richmond Bargains (I tell everyone about it!) and I’m a huge fan of Kroger!

Megan H. May 21, 2010

Looking forward to learning more about how to save more here in the River City!

Kim Hodges May 21, 2010

I love Kroger… especially the fuel savings!

Michele with 1 L May 23, 2010

I love finding all the free and cheap things to do for families on your blog. I was fine with the old format, but the new one is fancy. :-) I shop at different stores, depending on who has what I need on sale that week. Love the Kroger fuel savings, and could certainly spend the $25 quickly!!

Anita May 23, 2010

A GREAT BIG THANK YOU for ALL that you do in letting us know about the fantastic deals around the Richmond area. I went to the Kroger at Short Pump (next to Target) and they had Customer Apprciation Day. There were many generous product sampligs, including cajun shrimp and tuna, sausage kabobs, cheeses, wine tastings, free hotdogs and chocolates. It was a lot of fun and very tasty!

Jennai May 25, 2010

I really DO love the Kroger stores! When I travel, I always look for one of them.
