So as you can see, I did this in 2 trips...I do some mystery shopping for Intellishop (read: free beer for my other half) and had to go to Kroger anyway for them.  Luckily, a new Mega Event just started and had alot of items that I actually wanted to buy!  (lots of times it's alot of processed food which I try to stay away from....).  The cashiers at this particular Kroger had trouble with coupons in both transactions, so I don't think they're used to seeing many coupons.  When a coupon beeped they tried to just hand it back to me and say sorry....and I said "I'm sorry, but that coupon should work and if it doesn't, I'll just take my order over to Customer Service to get this sorted out."  They fixed it pretty fast after that.  Except in the top transaction, I had another $1/1 ANY Reach toothbrush or floss product that beeped...well by that time, my OOP was already less than $1, so I just let it go.  I did get a comment from the cashier saying "I don't even know how you're paying less than a $1 for all this stuff..." like I was taking it out of her pocket.  So yea, not the most coupon friendly store...Anyway, I'm going to list everything in one big list, but you can see that for the Mega Event, there are 10 participating items (in the second pic I bought a few extra non-Mega Even items, hence more than 10 items.  Oh, the Sobe in the first pic is also non-Mega Event).
