A Leap Day Pit-Stop

Life has been pretty crazy lately.  Lots of good things happening at our house and the burst of nice weather is giving us a bit of the Spring Fever.  I am a few posts behind, so I will make them short and sweet.  I feel like it is getting harder and harder to snatch up good deals...either the stock is gone, there just isn't enough hours in my day, they are getting harder to come by or a culmination of all three factors.

Here is what I picked up at the Meijer on 2.29.12...I had to do three transactions to maximize my savings.

Transactions #1 and #2 (I did the deal twice because I have two different mPerks accounts):

• 2-2 packs Brawny Paper Towels $8.98.  Used mPerks q for B1G1 in honor of Leap day = $4.85 w/ tax.

The paper towels also double dipped with a Meijer Custom Coupon for $2 OYNO bringing the cost down to $2.85 for the two pack.  I paid a total of $5.70 for the 8 jumbo rolls.

Transaction #3:

• 1 Kraft Fresh Take $2.00.  Used $1/1 printable q and an mPerks q .50/1 = $0.50
• 1 Meijer Pepperoni $0.98
• 1 Danimals Crunchers $2.89.  Used .75/1 printable q and an mPerks q $1/1 = $1.14
• 2 Prego Tomato Sauce $5.00.  Used q $1/2 and an mPerks q $1/2 = $3.00
• 1 bagged Dole Salad $1.00
• 1-3 lb bag Red Potatoes $1.00
• 3 lbs ground beef $7.52

I used also used the 2 $2.00 q's I got from the paper towel deals for a grand total of $12.13.  I saved $8.25 in coupons.  My total for all three transactions was $17.83.
