Kroger Quick Hits (05/15): Colgate Maxfresh Moneymaker and Ocean Spray at $1.14 Each
A quick two-deal Kroger breakdown this week- one Mega Event moneymaker on Colgate Maxfresh and a regular-sale stockpile on Ocean Spray Pure Juice, both powered by BeFrugal Rewards.
This is a focused two-deal drop: Colgate Maxfresh Pineapple Coconut and Watermelon flavors free plus $3.48 in profit when stacked with the Mega Event, and Ocean Spray Pure Juice 32 Oz at $1.14 each with no Mega Event needed. Both rebates run through BeFrugal Rewards and require a "buy 2" trigger you can hit twice.

Quick App Legend
- π° BeFrugal Rewards- Earn points on qualifying purchases (Sign up for BeFrugal)
- π΅ Mega Event- Sale price unlocks when you buy 5 or more participating items in one transaction
π Kroger Mega Event -- Moneymaker Play
- Buy (4) Colgate Maxfresh Pineapple Coconut or Watermelon at $3.99 each Mega Event price
- π΅ Mega Event sale -- you must buy 5 or more Mega Event items in one transaction to lock in the $3.99 price. The Colgate four-pack only counts for four, so add at least one more Mega Event item to your cart (any participating product works -- mix and match across the event). Without the 5th item, you pay $1 more per item.
- π° Submit $19.44 BeFrugal Rewards rebate -- 9,468 points when you buy 2, limit 2 (so 18,936 points total on 4 bottles). 10,000 BeFrugal points = $10.50, the remaining 8,936 points = $8.94. Combined cash value: $19.44.
- Spend: $15.96 for 4 ($3.99 x 4)
- Net Price: FREE + $3.48 MONEYMAKER > About the Mega Event: With Kroger's Mega Event, you need to buy 5 or more participating items in one transaction to get these prices. You can mix and match -- you do not have to buy 5 of the same thing. Just any 5 or more from the event. If you do not hit 5, you pay $1 more per item. So to lock in the $3.99 Colgate price on these four, add at least 1 other Mega Event item to your cart.
π Regular Sale (Not Mega Event)
- Buy (4) Ocean Spray Pure Juice 32 Oz at $4.99 each
- π° Submit $15.40 BeFrugal Rewards rebate -- 7,452 points when you buy 2, limit 2 (14,904 points total on 4 bottles). 10,000 BeFrugal points = $10.50, the remaining 4,904 points = $4.90. Combined cash value: $15.40.
- Spend: $19.96 for 4 ($4.99 x 4)
- Net Price: $4.56 for 4 ($1.14 each)
The Quick Math
- Colgate Maxfresh x4: $15.96 spend, $19.44 BeFrugal cash back, +$3.48 profit
- Ocean Spray Pure Juice x4: $19.96 spend, $15.40 BeFrugal cash back, $4.56 net ($1.14 each)
- Two-deal total spend: $35.92 with $34.84 in BeFrugal cash back -- the four juices net out to $1.08 cents per item after the Colgate moneymaker covers the rest
How the BeFrugal "Limit 2" Trigger Works
Both rebates this week use the same structure: a fixed point payout for each "buy 2" purchase, with a limit of 2 triggers per account. That is why we buy 4 of each item -- you can claim the rebate twice on the same trip.
- Buy 2 Colgate Maxfresh, earn 9,468 BeFrugal points. Buy 2 more, earn another 9,468 points. Total: 18,936 points.
- Buy 2 Ocean Spray Pure Juice, earn 7,452 points. Buy 2 more, earn another 7,452 points. Total: 14,904 points.
BeFrugal cashes out at 10,000 points = $10.50. Any points beyond that increment redeem at a proportional rate, which is how the Colgate stack hits $19.44 and Ocean Spray hits $15.40.
Tips for This Two-Deal Run
- Combine both deals in one trip. Since youβre buying 4 Colgate, you only need one more Mega Event item to hit the 5-item trigger and lock in the $3.99 price. Grab a filler item or another Mega deal, then add your 4 Ocean Sprays to finish the haul!
- Check your BeFrugal balance first. Both rebates pay out as BeFrugal points. If you are close to a 10,000-point payout threshold, this haul can push you over.
- Pick up the Colgate flavors that are on the rebate. Only Pineapple Coconut and Watermelon trigger the BeFrugal rebate. Other Maxfresh flavors will ring at the Mega Event price but will not earn the points.
- Ocean Spray is a regular sale. You do not need to add it to a Mega Event transaction -- the $4.99 shelf price applies on its own.
