Don't Miss Out on These Deals!

Little Mister had Science Sleuths today, which gave me an hour-and-a-half to kill--and you could say I made a "killing" at Walgreens and Meijer!  Um, yeah, that was dumb.  So anyway, I even had the company of my wonderful hubby, which was fun (and the reason we ended up with Peet's coffee--not on my list--in the cart). :)  He's been drinking Peet's since LONG before many of us ever knew it existed, since the original Peet's coffee place is near where he grew up.

But I digress.  Let me get back to the point.  You don't mind, do you? :)

Let me just mention some of the BEST deals you can get at Meijer this week.

• Skippy peanut butter for $.17.  Yes, I said 17 cents!  (regularly $2.29)  And this includes their Natural pb, which we like a lot.  Here's how to get that deal.  They are on sale for $1.67.  Buy two, and use two $.50/1 coupons from the paper yesterday (this only works if you get at least 2 papers).  These will double at our Meijer.  Then go to the Meijer Mealbox and go to "specials" for coupons you can stack with manufacturer coupons.  There is a $1/2 Skippy pb coupon.  So you're getting $1.50 off each, and thus paying $.17.  Even if you don't have manufacturer coupons for this deal, print off the Meijer one, buy 2, and you're still getting them for $1.17 each--not a bad deal, either! :)
• Hellman's mayo (or "Best Foods," depending on where you live) for $.75-1.00 (reg. $3.58 each).  They are on sale for $2.50.  Yesterday's paper had $.50/1 coupon (these will double)--use two of these.  Then go here and print two $.75/1 coupons.  Then go here to print out two Meijer coupons for $1.50/2.  Buy 4 jars (might as well stock up at price like this!), paying $.75 each for 2 of them and $1.00 each for the other two.
• International Delight flavored creamers for $.45 each.  They are on sale for $1.50.  Go here and print out two $.55/1 coupons.  Then go here to print a Meijer coupon for $1/2.  Buy 2, pay $.45 each!
• Nabisco snack crackers for $1.50 each.  Not the best deal in the world but great considering they're regularly $3.27 each!  On sale for $2.  Use the $1/2 coupon from yesterday's paper.
• Nestle chocolate chips for $1.49 (reg. $2.67).  On sale for $1.99.  Go here for a $.50/2 coupon, which will double.  Again, I've paid less, but this is a pretty good deal. Get the mini-ones, which are good in muffins and other baked goods, including, of course, cookies.
• Renuzits are on sale for $.89, so if you got in on the Facebook $1/1 coupons, this is a great time to redeem them, getting the Renuzits for free, plus overage.
• Milk is $2
• 3-lb bags of apples are $2.50

Keep in mind that you can use one manufacturer coupon AND one Meijer coupon for each item (or number of items indicated on coupon).

I had an extra sweet deal because I had a $7 off shopping trip catalina from last week. :)

Easy Coupon Organization

There are many ways to organize coupons, but here is a little video Little Mister and I made, explaining the method that works best so far for me. Sorry--I'm fighting either really bad allergies or a cold, so it's hard to breathe, let alone talk! Hopefully you can hear it okay. :)

Look, too, below for links to other coupon organizing ideas.

Super Savings!

Look what I got at Meijer today for $2.25 (saving $23.17!).

It would have been the same total with 2 half-gallons of Smart Balance milk as well (with a savings of over $27) had they not been sold out of it.  But I can check again another time this week and if they're still out, I'll get a raincheck and use it with my coupons to get them for free later.

Here are the deals I took advantage of today at Meijer.

Coffeemate creamers (16 oz) are $1.50.  Print this $1.50/1 twice and get two of them for free!
Kraft Philadelphia cream cheese is $1.25.  Print this $5/5, buy 5 packages and get them for $.25 each! (the ones I bought today don't expire until the end of January and cream cheese can be used for all kinds of recipes for holiday gatherings!
Frank's hot sauce--$.99.  Use the $.50/1 coupon from the Smart Source 10/3/10 newspaper insert, or print a $.50/1 coupon here.  Our Meijer doubles coupons up to $.50, so this was free!
Mrs.T's Pierogies--$1.68. Buy 3 and get one Mrs. T's Spinach/Feta Pierogies.  Print this and this twice and get $1 off each one, making them $.25 each!

Other Meijer deals this week:

Don't miss the General Mills cereal deal going on at Kroger through Wednesday!  Brand name cereals for under $1 a box!  Here's how it works:
If you buy 4 of the selected varieties of cereals (look carefully at the shelf labels to make sure you're getting ones that are included), they are $1.49 each.  Then use some of the coupons below to lower the price to under $1!

Look for 3 GM coupons here and print each one twice.
Kroger e-coupons (they don't stack e-coupons anymore, but it's better than nothing!)
