Take a Free trip to Meijer

Total OOP (Out of Pocket) $0.00
Savings $37.72

Sweet Baby Ray's Grilling and Dipping Sauce is $.99
There are coupons for $1/1 in the 5/1o insert (was on front page)
the BBQ sauce is on sale but the smaller bottles, the coupon is for the bigger ones or two of the small ones, so they would be $.50 each. I will wait to see if I can get free I have allot of BBQ sauce.

Green Giant Steamer are on sale for $1
There was a $.50/1 coupon in the 4/5 insert.

Meijer will only double the first two coupons so I had to do three orders to get six bags of Steamers.
I went to the self check out and all the coupons scanned. (did not need a cashier to help)
Check out a couple of the receipts below I did not even pay tax it was just free. Cool :)

Free Tote Bag

Mantra is giving away a Free Tote Bag tote bags are great for the environment and can make your money.

If you shop at Kroger they will give you $.05 for each tote bag you bring in. Over time this adds up, be sure to let your cashier now how many bags you bring in. They will not give you the $.05 if you don't ask.

I have gone to Kroger a couple times and my order came to $0.00 but I had used three bags so they gave me $.15 how cool is that.

So every time I get a chance for a free tote I jump at it I only have 5 now and sometimes still need to use store bags when mine are full. (now I will have 6:)

Courtney

Free Toilet Paper at Walmart

To get free Cottonelle at Walmart go to Cottonelle.com and take the Pledge (only took a minute) Make sure you choose $1/1 Toilet paper and back space to get two coupons.

You can find this in the New $1 aisle at Walmart. (You might want to call first to see if your Walmart has a dollar aisle yet if your not sure)
Courtney

Kroger and Rainchecks

So you have all seen my post about the Kroger in Howell that doubles coupons up to $1 (making a $1 worth $2) Now I know some of my readers don't live close to Howell (I am still waiting for Kroger to send me a list of other stores that double $1 coupons) so I have a plan:)

When I do my Howell Kroger post and the items I show as a great deal run out at your Kroger ask for a Raincheck. This raincheck can be used at any Kroger store even Howell:) they are good for 30 days normally. So if you are able to grab a raincheck for the best items each week then once a month you could go to the Howell Kroger and pick up 4 weeks of deals this would make a long trip worth it.

If you do pick up a raincheck remember that the Kroger Howell will only double the same coupon three times so get your rainchecks with the qty of three, if your coupon is $1/2 then get your raincheck for 6. (if you have 5 coupons for $1/1 and want to use them all, get one raincheck for 3 and another for 2 so you can do two orders)

So this week at Kroger the FREE items are..

Kraft BBQ is on sale for $1.48 us the $1/1 at Kraft.com to make free

Velveeta Dinners are on sale for $1.61 us the $1/1 from Kraft.com to make free

Oscar Mayer Bologna is on sale for $.99 us the $1/2 Coupon at Kraft.com to make two Free

Mentos gum are on sale $10/10 use the $.55/1 coupons from 5/3 insert to make free

Trident gum is $1.29 (normally so do not need a raincheck) use the $.75/1 Coupon form 5/10 insert to make free.

Kraft Coupon Deals at Meijer

Meijer and Kraft coupon deals: By Barbara Thompson (Courtney's Mother)

Went to Meijers today loaded down with coupons. They have their Kraft mayo on sale for 2/$4. Both the 24oz and the 32oz sizes are on sale, so grab the larger size. As a bonus each one of the mayo's had a pellie on the lid, "buy 2 and save a dollar" it says " buy now" but the expiration date is 5/31/10 so hold onto them, and if that isn't enough at my meijers they also had coupons attached to the boxes that said with every purchase get 1.00 off a loaf of bread. There is no specific bread listed, so just grab your favorite or whatever is on sale. So this is how it works:

32oz Kraft mayo 2/$4.00
use $1/1 from Smartsource
use $1/1 from meijers mealbox = FREE + a coupon to use later + $1.00 off a loaf of bread! SWEET DEAL!

I also picked up Miracle Whip using the same scenario=FREE

Kraft Ranch dressing is $1.58 for th 16oz.
Use $1/1 from Smartsource Use $1/1 from meijers Mealbox =FREE +overages

Pert Plus for Men is on sale for 2/$5.00
I had 2 $1/1 coupons I had printed from computer so I got the 2 for $3.00 + they have a "pellie" on the label "Try me for free". You can print out a rebate form from the computer and they will send you back the purchase price up to $3.99. Just be sure if you do this deal that you purchase each Pert seperately, because you need to send in the original receipt with each rebate form.

Softsoap is on sale for $.99
use $.40/1 from 4/16 insert double to make .19 each

Oscar meyer Hotdogs (Bun size and Weiner size) are 4/$5.00
use $1/2 from Smartsource
use $1/2 from meijer Mealbox = $.25 cents

Kraft BBQ is $1 at some Meijer

Check out Dealseakingmom for a complete list of CVS deals this week.

So here is a little scoop on Walgreens. They have discontinued there monthly rebate book & now they are testing out a small 8 page weekly circular that has less deals and RR items. I live in MI and I fall under the 8 page circular:( The manger of my store said that all stores will be a 8 page circular but did not know when the switch over would take place. This means less and less deals at Walgreens. So if you get a receipt with a survey on it let them know if you think this is a good or bad idea.

I have also found that even though I am in the test area the RR will still print for the deals in the bigger circular, but if the item is on sale I don't get the sale price. This means we can still get the RR but my have to pay more OOP then other areas if the item is on sale. I don't know that this will always work but it has the few times I tried.


Best Items at Walgreens this week.
Colgate MaxWhite toothpaste is $2.99 get $2 RR use $1/1 coupon from 4/26 insert to make FREE

Loreal HiP makeup is BOGO (Buy one get one) Free and you can use TWO of the $2/1 from the 4/19 insert. Price will very but you can sometimes find these items on clearance and get a great deal.


Reach Prevent Toothbrush, $0.99 (with in-ad coupon)
$1/1 Reach Toothbrush or $3/3 (RP 4/16/09)
FREE after coupon!

Iceland Omega-3 Fish oil is on sale for $8 and you get $8 back in RR
(this is allot OOP if you don't need or have other RR to use on it)

Spare Change adds up fast with YouData

I have tried this company out and they really pay and it is really easy. I have been viewing adds for 8 weeks and they have deposited $9.25 into my paypal account. It has taken lass then 5min to earn that $9.25 so pretty good investment. Also, the adds which are just web sites are normally really unique and relevant to my life so I enjoy seeing what will be there next. This is a great way to save a little. I don't use my paypal often so at the end of the year I will have a nice little amount for holiday shopping.

The company's name is YouData.They are trying to convince consumers like us that we should be the ones controlling our own data and selling our own attention, not third parties like broadcasters, newspapers, and spammers. By creating a MeFile at YouData.com, you will control what ads you see and when you see them and earn real money in return. The first week is normally the best I made $4.55 the first week then $1-2 the following weeks. My Mom has made about $12 in only three weeks. If you sign up you will create a MeFile which will tell the advertiser a little about you and they will pick who they want to pay to look at their web sites.

Click this link to sign up. My MeFile ID is cbellanti & will be in the Referral box this will tell them I sent you.
