Kroger has some CRAZY hot rebates that just showed up today, and one of them is a $20+ MONEYMAKER. Both run on BeFrugal, and both pay out $35.69 on a buy-2 offer with a limit of 2 — so four units each.

The headline: four jars of Barilla Pesto come out FREE plus $23.73 in profit. The second deal takes four bags of Just Bare Oven Roasted Chicken Bites down to $1.07 each. Both prices are Mega Event prices, which means there's a 5-item rule you have to clear — we break that down below, because neither deal hits it on its own.

RUN ASAP. BeFrugal rebate budgets can run out mid-week, and these showed up today. Confirm both offers are on your account, then go.

⚠️ READ THIS FIRST: The Mega Event 5-Item Rule

Both prices below are Mega Event prices, which only unlock when you buy 5 or more participating Mega Event items in one transaction (mix and match). Buy fewer than 5 and you pay $1 MORE per item.

Here's the catch nobody mentions: each deal below is a 4-item buy. Four items does not clear the 5-item threshold. If you walk in and buy only 4 jars of pesto, they ring at $3.99 instead of $2.99 and you lose $4 of profit.

You have two clean ways to fix this:

1. Run BOTH deals in one transaction. 4 pesto + 4 chicken bites = 8 Mega Event items, so everything unlocks at the Mega Event price automatically. This is the simplest fix.
2. Add one cheap Mega Event filler. The Kroger Mega Event from our 08/12 breakdown runs through 08/18, so those items are still live and still count toward the same 5. Vitamin Water 20 Oz at $0.99 is the cheapest filler on the list — add one and your 4 jars of pesto unlock.
