I did find a few additions to the Meijer match-ups.
First off, I used an ad that was not a local ad so the Breyers Ice Cream is $2.50locally instead of the $1.99. So it will be $1.75 with the .75/1 MQ + there was a $1/1 Q in this weeks paper as well so if you have that one it will be $1.50.

Ragu 2/$3 if your store carries the NEW flavors which are "Margherita" & "Sweet Basil" Pasta Sauce then you can use the .60/1 MQ that was in today's paper. Which will make them .40ea when you combine it with the MM.

Lipton Tea 20% off use the $1/2 MM & (2) .50/1 when doubled this could make some of the tea cheap or free.

I was so happy the coupons I ordered came in just in time so Mom & I could take a run to Ft. Wayne to pick up some items at K-Mart. I forgot my $5/$50 coupon but did pretty good considering. For the first trip I paid $19.87. I did have to do 2 separate transactions so I could get more of the Wholesome Goodness for .10/3, which is a steal!

This trip was the trip we did on Saturday. I brought my $5/50 coupon and did much better! The shoes were on clearance for $5 and the towel was $2.99 and I am planning to make something with it so that I will show you when it's complete!

Some of the items are hard to see in the photo, I am sorry about that! The total for these two transactions was $13.41. The best thing about it is my cat was out of soft cat food and now he will be set for at least 6 months now! He is getting older and does a lot better with soft food, so we give him both, simply because he likes food in his bowl 24/7.

Oh, and isn't that K-Mart bag the cutest! It was $1.49 and I picked it up with Fridays trip. It is much bigger than the regular grocery bags.

Can't wait for the next doubles!!

Okay so with all of the clearance specials going on I just have not had time to post. Plus our Kroger ad just started yesterday and I have had to get things around for that. I actually bought some coupons for this and I am hoping that they don't run out of everything in time for me to use them all. I have already received them and used them on some items yesterday, but I am very leery about Kroger and their stocking ability.


So here are some pics of the great deals I have been taking advantage of. Due to the fact that I am posting these late I am only going to post the Store and the amount if you need details I will get them to you.




These are form Walgreens Clearanced @ 1.09ea used $2/2 and received $2RR!! Qualifies as part of the Unilever deal.
Total OOP = .62



Kroger trip 1/22
OOP 28.68 for 33 Items
(Cheese is at stock up prices this week, I need another freezer! LOL)

Kohls OOP 19.47
Returned jeans for daughter and actually only spent 3.45 after the return.

Second stop Scott's (Kroger):

(3) Coffee Mate Creamers $1.89ea – (1) $1.50 IP (2) .50 MQ = .39ea
(2) Fuze Drinks .88ea – (2) .25 = .13ea
(4) Rice-a-Roni $1ea - $1/4 MQ = .75ea
(2) Cottonelle .99ea - .50 IP = FREE
(2) Softsoap $1ea - .35 MQ = FREE
(3) Hamburger Helper $1ea - .80/3 IP – (2) .75 Shortcuts Q’s = .23ea or .70 for all 3
(1) Colgate Total $2 - $1 cellfire Q - $1 MQ = FREE
(1) Colgate Max Fresh $1.50 - .75MQ = .75 (I should have received another Q off from cellfire, but it did not come off not sure if I picked up the wrong one or what.)
(2) Kotex $3ea – (2) $1 cellfire Q’s – (2) $1 MQ = $1ea

After all Q’s and including taxes my Total OOP was $8.52.

Third and BEST stop Walgreens:

Okay, the first is thing is an Ankle brace that my daughter needed after twisting her foot last night at practice so that was a must have, so…
(1) Ankle Brace $16.99
(2) Pantene Conditioners $1.29ea - $3/2 = -.42
(1) Glade Glass Scent .82 - $1MQ (from the inside of a package no clue which one) = - .18
(1) Electrasol Tabs $3.49 w/raincheck - $2.50MQ = .99
(2) Citrucel Chews $5.59ea – 3.00/1 Easysaver Q pg21 - $2MQ = .59ea
(2) Revlon Lipsticks $2.29ea - $2MQ also on sale for BOGO Free this week = -$1.71
(6) BioInfusion $1.99ea - $2/1 Easysaver Q pg 14 = -.06

After all q’s My total was only $20.30. After leaving I looked at my receipt and noticed that my subtotal was only $16.85 which was less that the brace itself. I will also be getting $1.65 back in rebate for the Electrasol.
Also keep in mind that this particular cashier gave me overage and some do not. I was only expecting free and did not plan on the overage, that way if I get overage it makes me even happier!!

I hope to get more time to go back in tomorrow for some other things I saw on clearance. However I work so it will depend on how I feel after working 11+ hours.

Then the last stop was Scott's (Kroger)- My Kroger triples up to .50, but will only triple 2.

(2) Jell-o Pudding @ $2 - (2) .50/1 = $1
(2) Cottonelle @ .99 - (2) .50/1 = FREE
(2) Brooks Chili Beans @ .89 - .55/2 = $1.23
(1) Kroger Eggs = $.88
(8) Campbell's Chunky Soup @ .99 - (2) .50/4 = $4.92 (.62ea)
(1) Kroger Saltines @$1.25 - .75 cellfire Q = .50
(1) Kroger Wheat Bread reduced = .75
(1) Kroger Butter Top Wheat reduced = .65
(1) Kroger Tortilla Chips = .88
(2) Fuze Drinks @ .88 - (2) .25/1 = .26
(2) Softsoap @ $1.00 - .35/1 = FREE
(1) Folgers Coffee @ $6.99 - .25/1 = $6.24
(1) Kroger Hot Dog Buns reduced = .65
(4) Tyson Skinless Boneless Chicken reduced to $1.19/# - (4) $1/1 package = $5.12 (just under 8#'s)
(1) Swiffer starter kit $3.99 - $1 = 2.99 (I thought I had an e-coupon for this also, but it did not work, so it was not the right product)

My total after all Q's = $26.52
I thought that it was pretty good considering the Coffee and the chicken!

So I haven't bought any outside decorations in forever. My Mom even tried to give me some, but I didn't take them. However, these can go inside or outside. I paid 11.67 OOP for the Angel and will get a $10 Rebate. The Christmas tree I purchased with some other items but I figure it will cost me just over $5 after $10 rebate(both $11 when I put it on my Walgreens card). So that is why I got them. I also received the 20% friends and family discount on these.
These don't show up near as well in the picture. They are so pretty lit up!! I am very happy with them, even though I did exchange both of them today due to the fact both had issues.

Also, when I was in today I was talking with one of my favorite Managers and ask her about the Blow Dryers they will have tomorrow FREE after RR. They only got 4 in (2 Blue & 2 Pink), so she tells me that they will hold one until I can make it in tomorrow! WOW!! I just can't believe how nice they are being to me lately!! I am really loving Walgreens!!!

So I was unable to get everything I wanted but I did end up with some great deals. I also had to go in two times. Once before work and then after work. They were still unloading the truck when I went in the first time so I was hoping that when I went back they would have it all put away and have the items they were out of.

#1
(3) Envelopes 2-100ct and 1 40ct 1.19ea - w/4-day Q .59ea

(2) Sudafed PE Sinus 3.99ea sale - (2) IP MQ = 2.99ea
(3) Walgreens Ibuprofen 2/$7 on sale - w/4-day Q 3/$3

My total OOP for this one was $3.98 and I received (2) 5RR one for $25 purchase and (1) for purchasing (3) Sudafed.

#2
(3) White Poster board .89ea - w/4-day Q 3/$1

(3) Walgreens Ibuprofen 50ct. 2/$7 - w/4-day Q 3/$3
(2) Walgreens Cough Drops .99ea - w/4-day Q (or 7 day?) .39ea

I did use one $5RR from previous $25 purchase deal and it did work, however you can not use two of these on one order.

My total OOP was $5.21 and received a 5RR
Which I thought was a great deal for all of that. So my total for both orders was $9.19.
All of these, with the exception of the Reynolds wrap, I was getting low on so I am extremely excited about only paying approximately $10 for all of this!!

***Also when I went in the first time my favorite cahier was in there and she asked me if I had been given the 20% off friends and family coupon yet. When I told her no, the manager was just coming out of the stock room and said, "Here I have one in my pocket." Then she handed it to me!! It is good for all of next weekend! I am so excited. Your right Mom they really do like me! LOL!!!***

This is what I am planning on getting Friday at Walgreens. Their truck comes on Friday's so I hope they will have everything.

#1
(3) Sudafed PE @ 3.99 ea - buy 3 get $5RR - (3) $1MQ = 2.99ea before RR
(3) Walgreens Ibuprofen - 4-Day coupon = 3/$3
(2) Kellogg's Cereal 1.99 - (2) $1MQ = .99

This should make my OOP total 2.95 (figuring in the 6 & 5 RR I have) and I should get back 2 $5 RR

#2
(3) Walgreens Ibuprofen - 4-Day coupon = 3/$3
(2) Arm & Hammer 6.99 - 4-Day coupon = 1.99ea
(1) Walgreens Cough Drops .99 - 4-Day coupon = .39
Total before coupons will be $25.47
After Q's will be $7.37 (of course without taxes)
Then I will use the $5 RR from the Sudafed Making my total 2.37
I can't beat that for Detergent.

Then I am still working on a scenario with the following:
(2) Reynolds Wrap .99 - $1 MQ
(3) Envelopes (not sure of regular price) 4-Day Q = .59
(6) Posterboard (for 4-H, also not sure of regular price) 4-Day Q = 3/$1
I also have a rainchack from last week for the Walitin for .99

Yesterday I went into Walgreens and took advantage of their 4-Day sale.
(Note:As of Yesterday you can still purchase $25 in products before coupons and get your $5RR)

#1
(3) Kelloggs Cereal $1.99 - 1/1 MQ = .99
(1) Sure $2.79 (mine rang up wrong should have been 2.50 sale) - 1.00 IP and 1.50 ESR pg 19 = .19 should have been FREE
(3) 50ct Ibuprofen 2/7 or total 10.50 - 4-Day coupon = $3
(2) Scotch Tape $2 - $1 MQ = $1
(2) Arm & Hammer Liquid Detergent 6.99 - 4-Day coupon = $1.99
Total after RR was $2.06 then I received a 5RR and will mail in for the $2 rebate on the tape. So I made $4.94!!

#2
(4) Bags York Peppermint Patties 2.50 sale - 1.50/3 MQ = 8.50
(1) Entertainment Book $25 - $10 4-day (or 7-Day coupon)= $15
(you can just buy the book and get a $5 RR making this a great bargain at $10)
Total after RR $13.25
Received a $5 RR and will get a rebate of $5 for the candy, so not really a bad deal!@

The book will be a great present for John's Boss.

Sorry for not posting pictures, but I had to get to work and the things have already been put away.

So this week at Kroger (12/4-12/10) Celestial Seasonings Tea is only $1 and with my $1 off coupons this makes them FREE!!! YEAH!!
I love tea. If you didn't get the $1 coupon then they actually had .55/1 coupons this week so that is still only .45 which is really cheap.

As for the Ronzoni. It is also on sale for 3/$4 which is only $1.33. With the $1 coupons it makes them only .33. So for all of this I only paid $1.34.

Yesterday when I was online I discovered that Walgreens will be running a mid week ad for the next three weeks! Yeah!! I hope they are all going to be as good as this one is!

Well, for starters if you spend $25 you will get a $5RR. You can mix this deal with other RR deals and still get the $5RR. I did this today and it worked GREAT!

This is what I got:
#1 Transaction
(2) 12pk Coke
(2) 12pk Sprite
(1) 12pk Diet Coke
(2) Reach Toothbrushes
(1) Colgate Total

Total before Q's = 25.66

Used (4) $1/12pk Coke IP (turned in coke rewards for these)
(1) $1/1 Colgate
(1) BOGO Reach Toothbrush $3
(1) 6RR from last week

Total after Q's 13.46

Then I received the following RR's:
$5 - Coke spend $15 get $5
$6 - 2 Reach Products
$2 - Colgate
$5 - Spend $25 get $5
Total RR's = $18

#2
(1) Colgate - $1 MQ
(2) Reach Toothbrushes - BOGO MQ
(1) Walitin (like Claritin)7-Day Q for .99

Total 6.68 used 5RR from Coke deal paid $1.68 OOP, and received a 6RR and a 2RR

So I had a pretty good day! Now I have $33 in RR's to roll over so I hope they have some good deals coming up... if not I may have to look for some Christmas gifts there.

This weeks Kroger MEGA Event is by far the best that I have been able to participate in!!
I made two trips. The first trip cost me a mere $13.38,however me being the way I am, I was asking myself how I spent so much! Then I figured out that I grabbed the wrong dial which in turn threw my 30 items down to 28 so I didn't qualify for the additional $5 off my order. I decided to keep them, because I am not sure how I would return them and get the correct amount back. Also I discovered that at my Kroger they are really starting to read every coupon and will not double if it states DO NOT DOUBLE right on the coupon. I use to get them doubled every time but they are really cracking down.
So the next order I really checked my coupons and items and I got 20 items along with one loaf of bread one package of buns and some reduce egg beaters. My grand total was $1.74!!
I loved the look on the guys face that was bagging my groceries. He looked at the cart then looked back at the screen like the cashier messed up!! LOL!!! TOO FUNNY!

So I got all these groceries for a wapping $15.12!!
Making 54 items $.28 each!!

Fair Warning the first picture does not have all the items in it. I wasn't going to post, but then my Mom asked me what all I got and decided to post pictures. I took a trip to the Sturgis K-Mart on Friday to take advantage of their double coupons up to $2. I will not go through each item, however I only paid $18.30 (or .57/item)for all of this plus 3 bags of The GoodLife Cat Food, and 2 more bags of Dog Treats.



This picture shows Saturdays shopping trip to Meijer. I ended up doing three transactions so I could use a $4 catalina (from the glade deal)on each. I spent a total of $3.47 (.22/item) + I received a .75 OYNO catalina from the Land O' Lakes Butter.
I know it's hard to tell from the picture, however there are 6 pudding boxes and 6 Velveeta Shells and Cheese.

Just a heads up for all of you coffee drinkers. Folgers coffee will be on sale for 4.99 (22.6-34.5oz) starting Thursday 10/16. I actually bought one this past week for 6.99 because we were getting low and I didn't see a deal coming that was going to be wonderful. So now I will dig out my coupons and stock up on this deal.

Some other great deals are as follows:
Kroger cheese bars or shreds - 3/$5
Stouffer's Red Box or Lean Cuisine Dinners or Entrees - 6/$10
Quaker Cereals (includes Captain Crunch)- 2/$4
Ragu Pasta Sauce - 1.88
Bunny White Bread - 2/$3
Campbell's Condensed Soup - 10/$10
Shedd's Spread Country Crock - 2/$5
Soft Soap Elements - 10/$10

With the exception of the Kroger cheese all these items have corresponding coupons to make these deals even sweeter!

After two weeks of going into Kroger and them not have the advertised Land O' Lakes Butter they finally had it today. Yeah!!
I intentionally bought coupons for this deal and they never had it in stock. Now I am just hoping that it goes on sale again somewhere soon to use the rest of my coupons.
I hardly ever buy coupons for specific sell, but I couldn't resist this time. With the butter for $1 then to get .30 to .90 off (depending on cashier, my coupons state "do not double"), it was just too good not to pass up. Much to my surprise today I received .75 off my next order for each set of two that I bought! So it was worth it. Plus I got a couple of rainchecks throughout the week to go back and use them.
