My Meijer Deals!

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…

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.
