Meijer deals this week

I tried to upload pictures of my trip(s) but for some reason I can't upload tonight so I'm just going to give you a list of what I found that was a good deal. (Not NEARLY as many things as the past couple weeks)

Vitamin Water=$1.00
-.55/1 printable coupon (I'm not sure where I printed this but it was a PDF so I printed 25 and got them all FREE! (but it took A LOT (12) of transactions and a lot of 3 trips but this price drop has been going on for awhile so I just stuck 2 in every transaction I did for the past 2 weeks.)

Chi Chi's Salsa=$1.00
-.55/1 coupon from the 5/17 Smartsource
=FREE!

Airwick I-Motion=$2.99
-$4.00 coupon from 5/17 Smartsource (and older insert and printables too!)
=Free (I had to get a raincheck for this)

I also took advantage of a deal (3 times) for Nabisco 100 calorie packs..but that ended today.
It ended up that I was able to get a box of them for .19 each.

AWESOME Kroger Pull Ups deal

Get 2 Packs of Huggies Pull-ups for 99 cents!
Here is the breakdown:
2 Pull-ups 8.99 each = 17.98
minus $3 Kroger instant savings =14.98
minus(2) $5/1 home mailer coupons = 4.98
minus (2) $2/1 Shortcuts coupons = .98

AWESOME DEAL!!
Or if you need diapers:
2 diapers 8.99 each = 17.98
minus $3 Kroger instant savings = 14.98
minus (2) $3/1 home mailer coupons = 8.98
minus (2) $1.50/1 Shortcuts coupons = 5.98 or 2.99 each

Of course I don't' have 2 $5.00 mailer coupons so my breakdown isn't as good. I also haven't been keeping up to date on loading my shortcut coupons on my Kroger card (which I HIGHLY recommend because sometimes they have the same coupon at different times with different expiration dates and they BOTH would come off during the same purchase) Anyways, my breakdown will be like this.

2 Pull Ups=$17.98
-$3.00 Kroger Instant Savings
-$5.00 mailer coupon
-$2.00 mailer coupon
-$2.00 Shortcuts coupon
=$5.98 for two packs. Not too bad!

If you haven't made it to Meijer this week...GO NOW!

This was BY FAR my BEST Meijer trip EVER. They paid me .92 for each bottle of Kraft dressing PLUS I got free produce with each bottle I bought! (Most of) The Ragu was free. The water was free, as well as the Country Crock, A1 (actually I got free meet because of the A1 too!),and frozen veggies. AND I got to use my rainchecks from last week and got more Mac and Cheese and got a $2.00 OYNO!An AWESOME stockpile week. I spent about $30.00 on all of this and saved $140!
