This morning I dropped Sophie off at preschool and headed straight for Meijer to get some sweet deals! Without a kid in tow! I have three months to do this before the baby comes and I am going to enjoy every second. This morning, I enjoyed it A LOT. Here’s what I got!
10 blocks of Kraft cheese 3/$5
6 crescent rolls
2 boxes Frosted Mini-Wheats $2.50 each
4 bottles of Juicy Juice $2 each
6 boxes of Ziploc bags (5 were $1.89, one was $2.79)
6 Green Giant boxed veggies 99 cents each
My total before coupons and promotions was $62.85
my total after coupons and promotions was $31.85…and I got SIXTEEN DOLLARS in Catalinas back to use on my next order!!!! So I then bought all the meat, fresh fruit, veggies, and other items my family needed for the week and used the $16 in catalinas to pay for it, and a few coupons, and spent $23.65 for the rest of our week’s groceries. Here’s how I got this great deal!
Promos: buy 2 Kellogg’s cereals and 2 Juicy Juice, get $3 off instantly at checkout
I bought 2 cereals and 4 Juicy Juice so I could use the $2/4 Juicy Juice printable coupon AND the $2/4 Juicy Juice Meijer Mealbox coupon.
So $5 for two cereals plus $8 for two juices – $13. Minus $4 in coupons and $3 off instantly at checkout = $6 for all. 🙂
The Green Giant Veggies were 99 cents & you got a $2 off catalina back for buying 3. There were 60 cents off three coupons at Coupons.com.
and in this Sunday’s insert that double to $1.
So six veggies = $5.94 minus $2 in coupons = $3.94 and get back two $2 Catalinas – $.06 profit.
The Kraft cheese was $1.67 and you got back a $5 catalina for buying 10. Plus there is a $5/5 coupon you can print and use two of! So 10 BLOCK cheeses =$16.70 minus $10 in coupons = $6.70 minus $5 catalina = $1.70 for all! I think the block cheese is the only type that works for this, but I’m not positive.
The crescent rolls were 4/$6 – buy 4, get $1 off instantly at checkout. But if you bought 6, you also got a $3 off catalina! And there are 50 cents off two coupons on Coupons.com. that double to $1! (Though Meijer only doubles the first two.) So it was $9 for 6, minus $1 instantly, minus $2.50 in coupons, minus $3 catalina = $2.50 for 6 packages of Crescent rolls!
There are also Catalina deals on the Ziploc bags – buy 4, get $2 back – and there were coupons in this Sunday’s inserts. And there is a Meijer mealbox coupon you can print for that one also!
To be honest I got so many catalinas I was confused about what was for what!
Thanks to Mommy Snacks and Happy Homemaker Cindy for posting about these deals!
Have fun shopping! I hope you get some awesome deals at Meijer this week!
