Back For More

On Saturday (GASP), I ventured back to the Jewel to get another round of Tide.  The price was just too good to pass up.   I had used all my cats from my previous trips, but my end cost was only $15.61 OOP for four boxes.  They were $5.49/box and I used 4 manufacturer q's for $2/1.


Next, I went down the way to Meijer.  I have to admit that shopping on a Saturday wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, but I don't plan on making it a habit.  I much prefer shopping during the week when the crowds are slower and the shelves tend to be stocked.  Out of all the stores I regulary shop at, I feel that my Meijer does the best job of keeping the shelves stocked...especially on sale items.  Here is what I picked up for a total of $50.69.  Not my cheapest or best shopping on this day...I was a bit disappointed with my end OOP, but such is life (at least I got some beer to wash back the tears:).


I had to do two transactions to utilize all of my mPerks q's.

Transaction #1:

  • 2 Chi-Chi's tortillas $3.78.  Used 2 .50/1 = $2.78
  • 1 Hormel Natural Lunchmeat $2.50.  Used mPerks q B2 Chi-Chi's tortillas, G1 lunchmeat free = FREE
  • 20 Yoplait Light Yogurt $10.00.  Used 2 printables .60/8 and 1 .40/4 = $8.40.  Got back a $2.00 OYNO cat.
  • 2-2 ct. boxes Barber Chicken Cordon Bleu = $7.00.  Used 2 printablews $1/1 and mPerks q $1/2 = $4.00.
Transaction #2:

  • 1 bunch parsley $.69
  • 1 lemon $0.67
  • 1 dozen x-large eggs $1.74
  • 12 packages M&M's $8.88.  Used 6 .75/1 = $4.38.  (The peanut ones have a movie ticket promo on them and I have only entered one code and won $3.00 off my next movie ticket...I have almost made my money back and I have special treats for the boys for vacay)
  • 1 package organic mushrooms $2.00
  • 2 packages Red Star yeast $1.98
  • 1-6 pack Leinenkugel's Berry Weiss $7.79
  • 4 Eckrich Sausage $9.16.  Used 2 $1/2 = $7.16
  • 1 pint blueberries $1.50
  • 4 Old Orchard Natural Blends Cranberry Juice $6.67.  Used 4 printables $1/1 = $2.67
  • 2-2 ct. boxes Barber Chicken Cordon Bleu = $7.00.  Used 2 printablews $1/1 and mPerks q $1/2 = $4.00.
I also used the $2.00 cat I got from the previous order.  I saved a total of $31.47 in clipped q's at Jewel and Meijer and over $53.00 if you include the preferred card savings and store promos.  There's always next week...
