Where have all the Good Deals Gone?

Sorry guys but there just isn't much out there. This is probably the most disappointing Mega Sale Kroger has ever had. Here are a few things on my list: (prices are after mega event discount)

Nabisco To Go cups cookies/crackers .50 - $1/2 tearpad = FREE
Purina Friskies cat treats .99 - $1q 7/28SS, 8/22 SS, 9/12 RP = -.01 MM (my dog loves these)
Tidy cat litter 1.49 - $1q 9/12 RP = .49
Totinos pizza rolls 2.49 - .35q 8/8 GM = 1.44 (not the cheapest I have even gotten them but not too bad a price)
2 liter Coke .79 (I don't have any qs for these but not a bad price to stock up a few, they make good fillers to get to your 10 items for mega event) 


*Non-Mega event items*
Smart Balance milk 1/2 3-19 - $2q 9/12Rp = 1.19 (cheapest gallon of milk I can find is 2.58, so this is a little cheaper plus has a very long shelf life, the ones I bought yesterday good until 12/02)
Cap'n Crunch 1.50 - .50q 5/16, 8/29 RP - .50
