Money Monday - Another Stop at Meijer

Since the deals are so incredibly good this week, I made another stop at Meijer this afternoon. Since my kids were along, it was a quick stop. But thank you, Meijer bakery, for the free cookies to keep them occupied for the first 5 minutes!

Here's what I grabbed:




Total before sales and coupons: $25.00
Total sales savings: $9.17
Total coupon savings: $8.72
Total OOP: $7.11

I can typically get bread for less than $1 per loaf, but we LOVE this bread, so $1 is a great deal on it. (It's usually $2.99). The pizza rolls and margerines were FREE with doubled coupons, the coffeemate was FREE with coupon, and the Lysol cost me 28 cents each with doubled coupons. If it hadn't been for the $1.87 eggs and the $3.09 cheese, my total would have been much more impressive. But those were necessary this week. *Sigh*

Still a decent shop though!

Money Monday - Meijer Rocks This Week!!

If you are an avid coupon clipper like me and you have not headed over to Meijer yet for their 10 for $10 sale, DO IT NOW. I totally made out like a bandit this week, getting LOTS of free food items. I'm sure the picture doesn't do it justice at all, but here is what I got:



Here is the rundown...
FREE stuff is in bold. Italicized stuff cost less than 25 cents.

6 tubes of Crest toothpaste
1 box Gerber baby cereal
1 Gerber sippy cup
3 2-pk Gerber baby food
2 boxes Nerds candy
2 pkgs Cheerios Snack Mix
2 pkgs Chex Mix
1 loaf WW bread
1 pk tortillas
2 cans spaghetti sauce
2 tubs I Can't Believe It's Not Butter margerine
2 cans chicken (like tuna)
2 boxes garlic bread
6-pk kids yogurt
3 boxes Honey Nut Cheerios
5 boxes Totinos pizza rolls
2 crtns ice cream
1 bag pretzels
3 lbs baby carrots
2 pkgs deli meat
1 box Quaker muffin bars
7 pkgs cookie mix
2 Johnson's buddies soaps
1 3-pk popcorn
4 pkgs cat treats (no, we don't have a cat, but these were free)
2 bottles Lysol kitchen spray
4 bottles Lysol toilet bowl cleaner
2 bottles Lysol pourable

It took 3 transactions (because Meijer will only double two identical coupons per transaction). But here are the numbers:

Total before coupons and sales: $145
Total coupon savings: $49
Total non-coupon savings: $55
Total OOP:$41

YAY FOR ME!!!!!!!
