See ya… I’m off to Meijer!!!
Here’s what I did this week at Meijer… I spent just over $3 on all of this! YES! That’s not a typo… $3!!!
I did the Nabisco/Kraft rebate again. This time I did it for the food pantry, and will have the rebate sent through for them. It went like this…

5 Nabisco 100-cal packs… $13.45 – $5 wyb 5=$8.45 (2 75 cents/2 Qs plus 5 $1 Mealbox Qs=$1.95 TOTAL)
I did the above in 3 transactions, because you could only get one $5 wyb 5 discount per transaction. All in all, I spent $8.35 on the above & will submit for a $20 rebate! The overage there helped pay for the rest…

I just reorganized my stockpile, so I thought I’d show you. This is just food. Toiletries and household goods have other spots. And I do have a large pantry uptairs. Forgive the angle. My stockpile is in what we call “the tunnel”. It’s a narrow hallway of shelving on either side (thanks Dante!), so I can’t get a straight-on angle that would include more than a few boxes of cereal.
I will admit… I did 5 transactions at Meijer this morning! The self-check lady has become my friend. She is really nice and calls herself “Twinkle Fingers” because she’s speedy with the coupons
Here are some of the better deals I did…
Nature’s Source Glass & Bathroom Cleaner… $2.50 each ($1 Q peelie ON the bottle PLUS 50 cent Mealbox Q=$1 each… get back $2 OYNO wyb 2=FREE cleaner!) The food pantry needs cleaning supplies right now, which is why I did 5 transactions of this
Simply Cookies… $1.99 each (2 $1.25 printables and 2 $1 printables Buying 6 Pillsbury refrigerated in one transaction gave me $2 OYNO AND for every 2 Simply Cookies, I got $1 off milk. I paid $6.40 for 4 cookie packs, 2 pie crusts, and 2 gallons of milk!)

This week, Walgreens has Scunci hair accessories for 99 cents! Pick any Scunci accessory $3.99 and under, and have the checker scan the in-ad scunci coupon. Great deal!
Just this week I noticed that we were down to the last can of soup from last winter’s stockpile. And voila! A soup deal! Here’s a simple deal to do at Jewel now through next Wednesday…
Buy 7 cans Progresso soup (make SURE they ring up at $2.87 before preferred card… the vegetable soup rang up too cheap)

To be sure you hit the $20 to trigger the catalina, be sure to scan your soup first, watch to see that the total hits $20, THEN scan your preferred card!
I wanted to try a few of the deals before I blogged them. Good thing, because everything I would have blogged did not work!
