Meijer Super Saturday Today!

Meijers One Day Super Saturday Sale is going on Today! Gotta love’m! It’s so hard for me to get there on Saturdays. I always try to have my shopping done before the weekend so I have total devotion to the family-aside from spending a little time online. This week I might have to make myself a trip though. Here’s why:

Nabisco 100 calorie snack packs are on sale B1G1. I picked up some coupons on a tear pad in the store several weeks ago for $.55 off each one. The regular price is $3.19 in my store, that makes them $1.59 a box with the sale and $1.05 with my coupons. Awesome buy!

Nabisco Teddy Grahams were on sale this week 2 for $5, and for the Super Saturday are B1G1. Since I don’t often do the Saturday sales I was going to scan one and see how much they come up on sale for. I’m hoping they will be 2 for $2.50 but am doubtful it could get that good being that I have a few peelie coupons from a purchase awhile back for $1 off each box.

I still have several of the coupons for a free product when you buy 3 Nabisco, Kraft or Oscar Mayer products. Combining that with the 100 calorie packs and the Teddy Grahams I may find myself doing a couple of orders to get in on the Fruit of the Loom deal.

Buy $10 in Nabisco products and get $10 off a 3 Fruit of the Loom products. Like I need anymore socks and underwear at my house after the Hanes deal the last few weeks… Wow!

Then, if you have and use your Meijer credit card you get 15% off general merchandise/apparel and 5% off food/health & beauty. I’m seriously considering getting one of these cards just for these kinds of deals that seem to come around all to often.

Then the Pepsi deal! You can get 5 six-packs of Pepsi 24oz bottles for $11 or if you buy 4 24 packs you get each one for $3.99. That’s the same as paying $2 for a 12 pack… pretty good if you need soda.

Combine that with the deal running where when you buy $10 in Pepsi products, you can save $10 on Jeans! Hubby is in desperate need! Not that we need the soda, but I might be able to sell it at the next Farmers Market in town.

They are also still doing buy 10 in coke products and get $10 off athletic shoes, we prefer coke products but are set on shoes for awhile.

Almost forgot… mushrooms are on sale for $1 and there’s a coupon on mealbox for $.5o off 1. We love mushrooms at my house and buy them almost weekly. I passed them up earlier in the week, but will most certainly be grabbing some if I make it in today. I’ve even thought about freezing a few because I cook with them a lot.

If you’ve not used mealbox before, just click on my link here and I’ll explain in my Meijer how-to how it works.

Just too much for me to pass up this week… and still have some of those Kraft coupons to use. Can’t bear to let them expire next week!

Hope all of you with a Meijer close are taking advantage of the savings and using your hard earned money well. If you are good at doing Meijer Saturday deals let me know how you work your deals. I could use help with Saturdays since I’m not a regular weekend shopper.

Meijer

I have been shopping Meijer for some time and find that of the grocery stores in my area they are one of the best for shopping for deals.

My local Meijer doubles two like manufacturer coupons up to $.50, beyond that they are face value.

You can find Meijer printable coupons at mealbox for various items; some Meijer store brand and also some name brand. To get to these coupons click on my link above, and when the page loads find the box to the right. In that box you will find a link toward the top that says “specials”, select that and then from there select “coupons”. You can then scroll up and down through the coupons available. If you find one that you want just select it and you will then be asked how many you want to print.

These coupons print on one corner of the page and are quite small. One thing I’ve been doing to save on paper is to plan on printing four of each of the coupons I want and then rotate the paper in the printer after I print each coupon. This way you use four sheets of paper for sixteen coupons instead of sixteen. You’ve also got like coupons stacked to cut together this way as well. Less paper, less cutting and time saved! If you want more/less of the coupons, adjust accordingly.

Pay attention to the coupons available. If there is one there that you think you may use, print it right away. These coupons do change at times and I’ve been caught without the coupon I wanted because I waited to print it.

Mealbox coupons typically expire two weeks from the date that you print them, so you have some time to potentially use them.

Sometimes these coupons will coordinate with a current or future sale that Meijer is having, so do keep that in mind as well if you see a coupon for something you might purchase if it came up on sale.

Also, mealbox coupons are Meijer store coupons. If there is an item you have a Meijer coupon for and an item you have a manufacturer coupon for you can use both-this is called stacking coupons.

Happy shopping!

Then it will show you the coupons available. Click on the one you want and it will automatically ask you how many to print.
