Scoring at the Meijer 10 for 10 sale!

Yesterday I ventured out to Meijer for some great deals, including the 10 for 10 and get the 11th free sale!  I did two transactions and here’s what I got:

Here are some deals I thought were especially good:

Kraft cheese cubes: $1.67 – I bought 5 and used the $5/5 Kraft printable = 67 cents each (I bought these because it was my week to bring snack for Sophie’s preschool class!)

Land o’ Lakes tubs: $1 and I used the 50-cent off printable coupon on RedPlum.com to get ’em free! (Meijer will double up to two of the same coupon.)

Aunt Millie’s bread: $1 and I used the 55-cent off coupon from a recent insert to get it free!

Kraft singles + Ritz: This was a catalina deal I wanted to get.  The singles were $2.50 each and I had a $1/2 coupon.  The crackers were regular price – $2.98, but I had two $1/2 coupons from coupons.com, and these items qualified for a catalina deal of buy $15, get $5 back.  So I paid about $17, $14 after coupons, and got back the $5 catalina. Not the BEST price, but I needed the crackers for snack at Sophie’s school as well, and it worked out to a pretty decent deal.

Other items on the buy $10, get the 11th free that I bought:

Barilla Pasta (had $1/2 coupon), Meijer pasta sauce, Grands biscuits (30 cents off two coupon on coupons.com that will double on these!  There was supposed to be a catalina deal as well, but it did not print for me. 🙁 ), Goldfish crackers, and Buddig lunch meat.

Between my two transactions I spent about $36 for all this!  I was pretty pleased to get so many freebies and the snacks for Sophie’s class as well as the rest of what we needed.

I got all my coupon match-ups from Andrea’s post at Savings Lifestyle. So check it out for where to find these coupons I used!

Did you get any freebies at Meijer this week?

He really dodged that bullet!

A few nights ago, Bobby was giving Sophie a bath and Joshua and I were indulging in a pre-bedtime snuggle on my bed.  I was laying on my side, when he said, “Mommy, can I lay on your back like I used to do when I was little?”

“Well, just for a minute,” I replied, “because Mommy can’t lay on her tummy for very long because it’s so big.”

As he scooted onto my back, Joshua commented with a tinge of disgust in his voice, “Good thing I’m not a GIRL.”

“Why’s that, honey?”

“Because I do NOT want to be PREGNANT!”

Well.  I’m kinda feeling you there, kid!

Not that I want to be a dude, but…these days I’m going to have to agree that Joshua really dodged the bullet on that one.

CVS – a $5/$15 at the coupon scanner!

I headed into CVS today to do two transactions to keep my out-of-pocket low and I got a NICE surprise at the coupon scanner!!  It printed me a $5/$15 purchase coupon!  I was thrilled because I was also walking in with zero ECBs, having blown mine from last week on some batteries.  So I wanted to make some ECBs before doing my 2nd transaction.  Here’s how everything worked out:

AZO itch relief $6.99
Paint brushes $2.99 (for my kiddos)
Two Colgate Total $5.98
total= $15.96

coupons:
-$5/$15 CVS from coupon scanner
-$2 AZO printable
-$1 Colgate from today’s inserts
-$.75 Colgate printable
= $7.21 + .77 cents tax = $7.98
and I got back $5.98 ECB for the toothpaste and $5 for the AZO for a $3 profit 🙂

So then I did this:
DSC02290

Charmin $9.99
Downy $5.97
Tide $10.97
Diet Dr. Pepper $4.50 (I thought it was on sale 3/$11 or I wouldn’t have bought it – oh well.)
total= $31.43

coupons:

-$5/$30 CVS email coupon

-$1 Charmin (got in the package of Duracell I bought last week!)

-$1 Tide from last P&G insert

-$5.97 Downy – free coupon I got with a sample 🙂

-$10.98 ECB

total= $7.48 + $1.86 tax = $9.34

and I got back $10 ECB for purchasing $25 in P&G products!  (actually it was $24.75, thankfully CVS was being kind on that one so I didn’t have to buy another P&G item!)

Not bad for a girl who walked into CVS with no ECBs today!  What are YOU getting at CVS this week??
