Meijer Trip 4/16/10

I'm not a regular Meijer shopper (we don't have one close by), so I always feel like a fish out of water when I shop there but I had some extra time so we ventured over there.

I spent $10.91 for everything in the picture above (savings of $45.91). It was kind of a frustrating trip - I ended up having to split my purchase into 4 transactions because the Kraft/Breakstone cat are the same deal and then to spend those cats I need 2 because the cat said limit 1 per transaction. It almost wasn't a problem because another couponer in the self check out line had cleared the shelf of the Kraft 100 calorie cheese snacks (and when I say cleared she had atleast 12 packs which I thought was a little excessive to take them all but...), luckily I had wandered down the wrong aisle and found a few more bags away from the main cheese area (I didn't know one person took them all until I was checking out!)

I'm getting chatty now and you probably want me to get to the point :)! Here's the deals:

• Buy 3 Breakstone Cottage Cheese Doublers - $1 each and get $3 Store catalina on your next purchase. Final Price FREE after catalina!
• Buy 3 Kraft 100 Calorie Cheese snacks - $2 each, Use 3 $1/1 Kraft 100 Calorie Cheese Snacks from 3/21 SS. Final Price FREE after catalina!
