Meijer - Deals for Week of 1/4

Meijer - Ragu and Creamette Deal (12/28 - 1/3)


Meijer is running a great deal this week with Ragu pasta sauce and Creamette pasta. If you buy one jar of Ragu sauce you get one box of Creamette pasta free. I went today to try this out and to see if you could get two free boxes when you buy two jars and it worked!! The best part is that the sauce is on sale for 1.38 each, plus you can use the .50 off 2 coupon from the 11/16 Redplum insert.
So if you buy two sauces and two boxes of pasta the total will be 2.76 (after the free pasta comes off) and you'll get 1.00 off with the coupon (after .50 coupon doubles to 1.00), so you'll pay 1.76 for two sauces and two pastas!! So if you use one sauce and one pasta per meal that's only .88 per meal!!!
Just add some free or cheap veggies from previous deals and you've got two really inexpensive lunches or dinners!!!

No other gift can ever compare.
Merry Christmas!

Kroger, Meijer, CVS & Thanksgiving - A Cornucopia of Info!!
Just A Note:
I made a quick look over Meijer's ad online and didn't see a whole lot. They have Bob Evan's Frozen Breakfasts on sale 1/2 price and with coupons that could be a good deal. Also certain Lysol cleaning products are 1/2 price, and again you could use coupons on that for a good deal.
I will be shopping on Friday this week, so after that I'll know a little more about what's out there. I should have my list ready sometime tomorrow, and I'll share that so you can see what I'm planning to purchase.
Other than that, you can stop over at CVS for Palmolive dish soap .24 after coupon and ECB, a free bottle of Smart Water (after ECB) and a Garnier Shampoo or Conditioner free after coupon and ECB.
Have a great week!!!
PS: I'm working on a Thrifty Thanksgiving post, as I've now decided to undertake my first full Thanksgiving meal for my husband's family. This should be interesting!!!

Meijer - Our Shopping Trip - 10/31
Let me tell ya, on trick or treat night, the stores are empty!!! We stopped by Target and Meijer after we did one hour of the two hour trick or treat time and found both stores eerily quiet!! But alas, at Meijer we got a few more deals before the week was over. Here's what we got (I did one order and my husband did another):
*2 Steamfresh Frozen Vegetables. We used one 1.00 off 2 Meijer Frozen Food Insert Coupon and two .35 off 1 paper coupons.
*2 Taco Bell Salsas. We used two 1.50 off 1 Meijer Mealbox Coupons
*4 Jell-O Boxes (I forgot my coupons for these, but they're still worth it with the catalina deal)
*2 Fleischman's 3pk yeast packs. We used two .45 off 1 coupons.
*2 Velveeta Shells and Cheese. We used one 2.00 off 2 Meijer Mealbox Coupon.
*3 Johnson's Buddies Soaps. We used one 3.00 off 3 coupon.
*2 Aunt Millie's Whole Grain Muffins. We used two .50 off 1 coupons.
*2 Breyers Ice Creams. We used one 1.00 off 2 Meijer Frozen Food Insert Coupon and two .50 off 1 coupons. (these are not pictured as they are refreezing as I type!)
*2 jars of Cinnamon.
Plus we used a total of 5.50 in Catalinas from previous orders. My husband paid 1.03 for his order and I paid 2.63 for a total of only 3.66!! And if that wasn't good enough, we got back another 5.00 in Catalina's, a 3.00 off 3 Johnson's coupon and a 4.00 off 20.00 in general merchandise coupon (good for Christmas presents!!)
Just to recap, because I was pretty proud of this one!! We paid 3.66 and got back 5.00!! We came out ahead 1.34 and brought home all these products!! Now that's what I'm talking about!!

If you buy 3 Jell-O's which are on sale for .50 each, you can use the 1.50 off 2 coupon from Meijer Mealbox (they may or may not adjust the coupon down to 1.00 because that's what the actual price for two is) so you'll pay either .50 of 0 and then you'll get a 2.00 catalina (coupon that prints at the register for use on your next order). So you'll be ahead either 1.50 or 2.00!!
Fleischman's 3-pk yeasts are on sale for .95. Use the .45 off 1 coupon from the 10/5 Smartsource insert to pay only .05 each. And then you'll get a catalina for .50 off your next order, so you'll be ahead .45!!!

Meijer - A Few More Deals for This Week 10/19 - 10/25

Snyders of Hanover Tortilla Chips are buy one get one free. They are priced at 2.89. Plus most of the bags I saw had a coupon stuck to them for a free Soda (up to 1.00) when you buy 2. So I got two bags of chips and one 2-liter of soda for 2.89 total.
Goodlife Recipe 4lb Dog Food is priced at 4.19. I used 2.00 off 1 coupons from the 8/24 Redplum insert and paid only 2.19 each.
Carnation Evaporated Milk is .99. I used .50 off 2 coupons from the 9/14 Redplum insert and paid .49 each. These will come in handy with my .79 cans of pumpkin from Aldi's for some yummy (and cheap!!) pies!!
I did the Buddies Soap deal which has been around for awhile, but I finally did it!! I got 3 Buddies soaps @ 1.09 each. I used the 3.00 off 3 coupon from the 9/14 Smartsource insert and paid .27 total and then got a Catalina (coupon that prints at the register) for 3.00 off 3 more Johnson products. So I can use that to do the deal again!
Gum Kids Toothbrushes 2 pack (themed on Crayola and really cute!!) are priced at 1.43 and 1.57. I used the .75 off any 1 Gum toothbrush from the 8/3 Redplum insert and paid .43 or .57 each. I usually get great deals on adult toothbrushes at CVS or Walgreens, but rarely for kids toothbrushes, so I got a few packs of these.
I also saw that Oral-B adult toothbrushes are 1.47 and if you use the .75 off 1 coupon from a recent P&G insert to pay only .47 for those. I didn't get those because I have tons of adult toothbrushes right now that I've gotten free, so I left my 2 coupons there for someone else to use!!
Well that's the deals I found today! I hope everyone has a great day!! Thanks for stopping by!

An Explanation and a Few Kroger & Meijer Deals
Unfortunately, I won't be doing as many posts as I used to do. I just simply can't keep up with all the deals and all the other responsibilities I have at home. If I go a day or two without posting something, I feel really bad and I just can't keep feeling that way. I know it's my own fault for these feelings, but alas, I can't seem to help it.
After our vacation, I knew I was going to have to either cut back or let it go altogether and my decision at this point is to make a huge cut back. I get excited when I find those great deals (think freebies or nearly free) and truly want to share those with all of you and so that's what I intend to keep doing. It will most likely just be Kroger and Meijer deals that I post, because CVS and Walgreens deals are plentiful on the web.
Perhaps I'm really slow at it, but the big Kroger, Meijer and CVS posts that I usually do take at least an hour to do each. And while 3 hours a week may not seem like a lot, for some reason, it is just really hard for me to accomplish. So if you're about to head out to the store and want to make sure you don't miss a huge deal, then check here before going out and hopefully I'll have what you need. Otherwise, hotcouponworld is a great place to find all the everyday regular deals.
I hope you understand. After lots of prayer and consideration, it has just become clear to me that I can't do all that I've "signed up" to do at this point and some things need to be cut back so that the really important things can have my most and best attention. Thanks to all of you, I truly appreciate each and every reader out there!!
So anyway, here's some awesome deals I found this morning at Kroger and Meijer:
Meijer:
Green Giant Valley Fresh Steamers Frozen Vegetables are on sale for 1.00. Use the 1.00 off 1 coupon from the 10/5 General Mills insert (they were also in another insert, but I can't find the date of it right now) to get them free!!!
Hillshire Farms Smoked Sausage and Links are on sale for 1.39. Use the 1.00 off 2 smoked sausage to get two packs for 1.78 (.89 each) or use the .55 off 1 links coupon to get them for .39 each (after coupon doubles)!!! Both coupons are from the 10/5 Redplum insert. That is just an awesome price for those, I stocked up today and Meijer still had tons of them for all of you!!
Orville Redenbacher popcorn is half price making it 1.59. Use the 1.00 off 1 Naturals variety from the 9/21 Smartsource to get that for .59 or use the .40 off 1 coupon from the 10/12 insert to get the regular varieties for .79 each.
Kroger:
Muir Glen Tomato Pastes are on sale for .75. Use the .75 off 1 coupon from the 9/28 Smartsource insert to get it free!!!
Tennessee Pride Rolled Sausage is 2.00. Use the .55 off 1 coupon from the 9/7 Redplum insert to get them for 1.00 each!!
I found clearanced Cascadian Farms frozen vegetables in a bin by the meat department priced at .99. I used the 1.00 off 1 coupon from the 8/24 Smartsource insert to get them free!!! There were lots of them left. They also had other brands of organic frozens on clearance as well. This was at the Maineville Kroger on 48.
Those are the awesome deals I found today. Thanks for being so understanding. If I find more of those great deals, I'll post them, otherwise check the comments section for reader found deals and have a great week!!

Meijer - Deals for Week of 10/5

Meijer is having a huge Meijer brand sale this week, and other than that, I really don't see much else to post about. There's a few good deals within the Meijer brand that I'll probably pick up including:
- Canned Vegetables @ 3 for $1
- Milk @ 2.50 a gallon
- 1/4 peck of Apples for 2.49 (appx. 3 1/2 - 3 3/4 lbs) which comes out to close to .75 a lb.
Those are really the best deals I see for Meijer this week. Not a lot, but a good opportunity to stock up on veggies!! And maybe even make some great apple recipes!! With the prices going up as they are, I'm thankful for every deal I'm offered!!

Meijer - A Few Deals For This Week - 9/28

Ronzoni Smart Taste Pasta is on sale for .99. Use the 1.00 off 1 coupon (it will automatically adjust down to .99) from the 8/24 Smartsource insert to get it free!!
Hunt's Canned Tomato Products are all on sale. There is a .40 off 2 coupon you can use from the 9/21 Smartsource to make this a great deal. I got cans of tomato sauce (the bigger cans) for .32 each after coupon and cans of diced tomatoes for .42 each after coupon. Note: the small cans of tomato sauce and paste won't work with the coupon because they have to be 11oz.
Mott's Apple Juice is 1.89. Use the 1.00 off 2 coupon from the 8/10 Smartsource insert to get two for 2.78 (1.39 each).
Aunt Millie's Whole Grain Muffins are still priced at 1.50 and I used the .50 off 1 coupon from the 8/10 Redplum insert to pay only .50 each. Someone commented previously that they didn't like the way the muffins were, but I loved them. We took two boxes with us on our trip and the kids and I all loved them. I found them to be very soft and moist and just delicious, so I bought two more boxes today!!
Alot of Meijer Organics products are on sale this week. We're trying to incorporate more organic products into our diet, so this was a great chance to get some different things to try out and see how we like them!
Well that's all I saw today, please share anything you've found as well!!
Thanks
