3-Store Haul 10/15: 42 Items, Bonus Breakdown
42 items across Kroger, Target, and Dollar General have $168.51 in listed retail value and an $8.94 net after both bonuses. Includes direct rebate links, the Target-eligible August offer, checkout math, and bonus scenarios.
This 42-item haul combines Kroger, Target, and Dollar General deals for $8.94 plus tax after rebates, reward value, and two Ibotta bonuses. The products have a listed regular retail value of $168.51, with much of the savings coming from Aisle reimbursements, Kroger Mega prices, and a Dollar General coupon basket.
The final $8.94 includes all listed reimbursements, a $1 Snuggle bonus, and a $5 midweek bonus. Without either bonus, the haul is $14.94 net before tax.

Before You Shop
- Plan for the checkout spend: The final net includes money and rewards received after paying, not a single $8.94 register total.
- Activate each Aisle offer: Use the direct product links, enroll before buying, and follow the retailer, quantity, flavor, and receipt requirements.
- Check your own Ibotta bonus: This haul used $5 back for 15 qualifying redemptions. Your required count, eligible offers, reward, and deadline can differ.
- Separate the Snuggle bonus: The $1 bonus depended on a previous liquid-softener purchase. That earlier purchase is not part of this haul's item count or cost.
- Meet Kroger's Mega minimum: Buy at least five participating items in the same transaction for the starred prices. This cart has enough participating items without relying on the soup clearance.
- Treat Progresso as a local find: Four cans at $0.26 each are included here, but that clearance price is not guaranteed at another store.
- Use the right DG coupon date: The bonus weekday $5 off $25 is for October 12–16, followed by a separate Saturday coupon on October 17.
- Use the haul's Fetch values: This calculation uses Walmart gift-card estimates: $2.77 for Carbe Diem and $1.28 total for the two cake-mix offers.
Kroger: 16 Items for $3.12 Net
This part of the haul combines Mega prices, one Aisle freebie, Fetch points, Ibotta rebates, and the local soup clearance. The five cake mixes alone meet the five-item Mega minimum when all five qualify.

Store-by-Store Comparison
These totals use the actual quantities and listed purchase prices, not the regular retail values. Aisle reimbursements include the $7.99 August rebate for the Target purchase.
| Store | Packages | Regular Retail Value | Checkout | Ibotta Products | Fetch Value | Aisle Rebates | Net Before Bonuses |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kroger | 16 | $47.24 | $20.77 | $10.10 | $4.76 | $2.79 | $3.12 |
| Target | 18 | $90.62 | $79.14 | $1.00 | $0.71 | $74.15 | $3.28 |
| Dollar General | 8 | $30.65 | $11.40 | $2.50 | $0.36 | $0.00 | $8.54 |
| TOTAL | 42 | $168.51 | $111.31 | $13.60 | $5.83 | $76.94 | $14.94 |
The listed products total $130.56 at their purchase prices before DG's coupons and basket discounts, compared with $168.51 in listed regular retail value. After $9.25 in product coupons and $10.00 in DG store promotions, checkout is $111.31 before tax.
Subtract $13.60 in product Ibotta rebates, $5.83 in estimated Fetch value, and $76.94 in Aisle reimbursements to reach $14.94 before bonuses. The $1 Snuggle bonus lowers that to $13.94, and the $5 midweek bonus brings it to $8.94.
Bonus Scenarios
Use the row that matches the bonuses actually available and earned in your account. All four scenarios include the August reimbursement and the other listed product rebates.
| Bonuses Earned | Final Net Before Tax |
|---|---|
| Neither bonus | $14.94 |
| $1 Snuggle only | $13.94 |
| $5 midweek only | $9.94 |
| Both bonuses | $8.94 |

- Ibotta: Product rebates plus the account-specific midweek and Snuggle bonuses.
- Fetch: Points valued toward a $5 Walmart gift card for this haul. These are estimated redemption values, not cash refunded at the register.
- Aisle: Use the direct brand links in each deal, enroll before shopping, and follow the retailer and receipt terms provided after signup. The August offer permits Target purchases even though its link and landing page mention Walmart.
- Dollar General app: Clip the $5 off $25 for the applicable shopping day and the matching manufacturer coupons.
- Kroger account: Confirm the participating Mega items and local sale or clearance prices for your store.
Tips for Repeating This Haul
- Read the post-signup offer terms: August allows Walmart or any other retailer, including Target. Follow the enrollment and receipt instructions for each offer rather than relying on the URL alone.
- Buy the required quantities: Five cake mixes, four Progresso cans, three Stur bottles, four GORGIE cans, and the qualifying two-item offers drive the listed math.
- Choose two Undercover flavors: This haul uses two different flavors; follow the specific terms you receive after enrolling.
- Keep the DG threshold intact: The basket must remain at least $25 after the $5 Instant Savings, before manufacturer coupons.
- Check bonus progress: Do not assume a product rebate or “any item” claim counts toward your particular bonus just because it appears in this list.
- Keep prior purchases separate: The earlier Snuggle liquid-softener purchase triggered a bonus but is not included in this 42-item haul.
- Save receipts until claims clear: The low net depends on approved reimbursements and reward redemption, not just submitting claims.
