My first of four stops on Thursday was Wags. I was hoping to score some more free toothbrushes and money back...but there weren't very many to be had. I broke even on this little purchase:
- 2 Reach Toothburshes $1.98. Used $2/2 = $0.02 Moneymaker
- 3 Peanut Butter M&M's $1.17. Used B2G1 = $0.78
Total with tax was $1.00. I saved $2.39 in q's. Got back $1 in RR...so I broke even. Not a moneymaker, but I got some free toothbrushes and M&M's.
Next stop, Meijer. I needed a lot at Meijer, especially produce. Lately, I have found Meijer to be rocking the best sales and I just love that I can get a preview of what is coming up from Meijer Madness. I had to do two transactions to utilize all of my q's. Here is what I picked up:
Transaction #1:
- 1 Kid's Aquafresh Toothpaste $1.78. Used mPerks q $1/1 and Manufacturer q $1/1 = FREE
- 3 Oscar Mayer Lunchables w/ Fruit $ 7.44. Used mPerks q $1/1 and 3 manufacturer q's $1/1 = $3.44. Got a Custom q back for $2 OYNO for a total cost of only $1.44 for 3.
- 4 Kraft Mac N' Cheese $2.76
- 1 dozen large eggs $0.99
- 4 Duncan Hines brownie mix $4.36. Used 4 $.50/1 q's = $2.36
- 6 Kraft Natural Cheese Slices $12.00. Used 6 $1/1 q's = $6.00
- 3 Ziploc Quart Freezer bags $6.00. Used 1 $1/2 and 1 B2G1 = $2.00
- 2 Planter's Nut-trition Bars $4.00. Used mPerks q $1/2 and 2 manufacturer q's $.75/1 = $1.50
- 3 jars Vlasic Pickle Spears $5.00. Used 1 Meijer store q $1/3 and 3 $.55/1 manufacturer q's = $2.35
- 2 packages ground beef $6.56
Total OOP was $28.72 with tax. I saved a total of 23.43 in q's.
Transaction #2:
- 1 Kid's Aquafresh Toothpaste $1.78. Used Meijer Store q $1/1 and Manufacturer q $1/1 = FREE
- 1 Green Pepper $1.20
- 1 Red Pepper $2.00
- Parsley $.79
- 2 Heads Lettuce $1.38
- Asparagus $2.13
- 1lb. Strawberries $1.50
- 3lbs apples $2.99
I used the $2 OYNO I had received from the previous purchase and a Meijer q for $1.50/$12 produce purchase I had received during an earlier trip. Total OOP was $8.56. I spent a total of $37.28 at Meijer with a total coupon savings of $28.93. Not a super thrilling trip and a little disappointment in my savings. I always want to save at least 50% and I didn't quite make that on this trip. But I was able to pick up a decent amount of produce and ground beef...with only $3.50 in q's to use towards those items. I guess you win some, you lose some.
Next stop was a quickie at Dom's for some uber-cheap spices:
- 6 McCormick Grill Mates Spices $6.52. Used 6 $.75/1 q's = $2.02
With tax I was at $2.13. I didn't catch it at the time, but one of my spices rang up at $1.57 instead of $.99 as advertised. So either this one variety wasn't included in the sale or it was another Dom's screw-up. Either way..still super cheap and will be enough to get us through a BBQ-ing summer.
Last stop, Jewel:
- 8 Hormal Pork Chops $7.92. Used 4 $1/1 printables = $3.92
- 10 Fage Greek Yogurt $12.50. Used 2 $2/5 printables = $8.50
- 2 Skinny Cow single serve ice creams $2.50. Used 2 $1/1 = $.50
- 1/2 lb DiLusso Hard Salami $3.84. Used $2 off 1/2 lb DiLusso lunch meat printable q = $1.84
- 1/2 lb DiLusso Ham $3.63. Used $2 printable = $1.63
- 1/2 lb DiLusso Turkey $4.72. Used $2 printable = $2.72
- 1/2 lb DiLusso Roast Beef $5.54. Used $2 printable = $3.54
- 1/2 lb DiLusso Roast Beef $4.88. Used $2 printable = $2.88
- 1/2 lb DiLusso Ham $3.56. Used $2 printable = $1.56
- 2 Loaves Jewel Slice Bread $2.98. Used 2 store q's for free bread with purchase of 1 lb DiLusso lunch meat = FREE
Also used $7.00 in Wags RR and a $2/$25 off a store purchase. My end total was $18.91. I saved a total of $33.98 in q's at Jewel.
My total savings in q's for the day was $69.80 and I spent a total OOP of $59.32. So overall, I saved a smidge over 50%...that is still winning in my book...but I always want to be closer to 70% savings.
