Meijer: August 23-29, 2009

These best deal matchups were calculated using a Meijer Ad for Detroit Area Stores. Metro Detroit Meijer stores double coupons up to $0.50 (with some restrictions - please see the end of this post for more info). I'll continue to edit this post with updates throughout the week, so be sure to check here again before you shop! Please let me know if you find a good deal that I've missed!

  ___________________________________________________

*DOUBLE COUPONS - This deal requires a coupon to DOUBLE at Meijer. Note that most Macomb-area Meijer stores will double only 2 identical coupons (up to $0.50) per transaction. See additional notes below.

**MEIJER MEALBOX STORE COUPONS - Meijer store policy, as posted here on the Mealbox Website. You may want to print a copy of this and keep it with your shopping list to show your cashier (if they aren't familiar with corporate policy):

1.) Mealbox coupons may be used in addition to Manufacturer coupons.
2.) Mealbox coupons may be used each time a condition is met, which could be multiple times per transaction. (For example: a coupon for $1.00 off 2 soups can be used multiple times if you have a coupon printed and the number of soups purchased matches, i.e. 2 coupons = 4 soups.)
3.) Mealbox coupons cannot be doubled or tripled at any time.
4.) Stores have the right to limit the quantity of items to normal retail purchases per transaction.
You may NOW use more than one identical Mealbox coupon per transaction, but note that the computer may only deduct one automatically - the rest may require cashier approval, so watch carefully.

Please let me know if you see any other good deals I've forgotten to mention (we could ALL benefit from your contributions)! View the Meijer Ad online here (available on Sunday).

Other Reminders:

• MOST Macomb Meijer stores will double coupons up to $0.50, but no more than 2 identical coupons per transaction. Additional identical coupons will be redeemed at face value. The new Clinton Twp/Groesbeck location may double no more than one (of each identical coupon) per transaction. You may want to call your location before shopping to verify.
  
• You can print 2 copies of each printable coupon per computer. Use your back button and refresh the screen if necessary or return to the original coupon link. You can print as many Mealbox coupons as you'd like.
  
• If a particular sale item is out of stock, be sure to ask your cashier or a customer service assistant for a raincheck.
