Meijer: November 1-7, 2009


This week's ad is noticeably smaller (both in size and in amount of items) than usual again as Meijer cuts back on the number of sale items per week. If this change disappoints you, please contact Meijer and let them know.

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 list with UPDATES throughout the week, so remember to check here again before you shop!

__________________________________________________

*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
-
You may want to print a copy of the Meijer Mealbox store policy, as posted here on the Mealbox Website and keep it with your shopping list to show your cashier (in case 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 use more than one identical Mealbox coupon per transaction, but note that some coupons won't deduct at all - be vigilant about watching your subtotal while coupons are scanned. If your total isn't reduced with the scanning of each Mealbox coupon, the coupon didn't work and you'll need to ask you cashier to adjust it manually.

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. You may want to call your location before shopping to verify. The Clinton Township location on Groesbeck will double ONE identical $0.50 or less coupon per transaction. For best savings on multiple items with coupons that will double, break your order into multiple transactions (this is most easily done at the U-scan).
  • You can print 2 copies of each printable coupon per computer, with some exceptions. Use your back button and refresh the screen if necessary or return to the original coupon link. You can print as many Meijer Mealbox coupons as you'd like.
  • When a particular sale item is out of stock, be sure to ask your cashier or a customer service assistant for a raincheck.

  1. I have a meijers coupon, the kind that comes out with your register tape that says redeem at Meijers only, for Stouffers pizzas. I would like to use that today at Krogers and wondering if Krogers would take that coupon?? I have wanted to use those coupons at other stores on several occasions but never asked. Does it vary from store to store?

    ReplyDelete
  2. If it is a manufacturer's coupon, then it SHOULD be redeemable at other stores. It will vary by store and cashier, however. Personally, I've never had luck with it. They see another store's logo and almost instantly turn it away. You can always ask at the customer service desk before shopping to be sure.

    ReplyDelete
  3. I spent several years working in the cash office of a grocery store. As long as the coupon's tagged "manufacturer" and not "store" and does not specify "redeemable only at..." (as opposed to "redeemable at," which CAN be used elsewhere ... the "only" is key), then the store redeeming the coupon will receive credit for it.

    I've had plenty of success in redeeming check out coupons at stores other than the one they're issued from -- but I've run into cashiers that simply wouldn't do it--you will too. Ironically, Walmart -- which itself doesn't offer check out coupons -- is the most aggressive in accepting them. I've redeemed plenty of "Save $5 Off Your Next Shopping Order" (yes, most of these ARE manufacturer's coupons) at Walmart.

    Speaking of Walmart, notice how they're undercutting Meijer's "everyday best price" campaign. Example: Meijer lowered its everyday price on Campbell's cream soups to $.69 (from $1.09), which matched Walmart's price, but Walmart's responded by lowering its price to $.57. Plenty of other examples.

  4. JB, you are a wealth of information! Any chance you'd like to write a guest post featuring some of your insider information? Many shoppers don't know these things... :)

    ReplyDelete
  5. On the Lean Cuisines: My Meijer ad confirms that it is buy 5 get the 6th free. It's on the front page of the Central OH ad. Not sure if this is by regions or something like that :)

    ReplyDelete
  6. oops, also every time I click on a "ready print" coupon today, it will not print. Do you have any ideas?

    ReplyDelete
  7. Mikekimpohlandfamily, thanks so much for your comments. What do you mean by "ready print" coupon?

    ReplyDelete
  8. You have links for printable coupons, such as Knorr pasta, that go straight to print. It just says connecting and nothing happens (after I hit ready to print). I had this happen the other day with something, but you had 2 different links for that item and one worked.

    ReplyDelete
  9. Are you using an internet browser other than Internet Explorer? That might be the reason. The links might need to be changed slightly to work for you on a Bricks coupon.

    Does this Knorr link work for you?

  10. I just went to meijers tonight and the Pillsbury deal is good through the 7th over here! So i was still able to get in on the Biscuit deal - yeah!

    ReplyDelete
  11. Can't Believe butter sticks are also $2.19 in Okemos, MI! I needed some spreadable butter too so I picked up a Can't Believe spread hoping the catalina would work for those too, but no luck. Cashier asked if my coupons were printed from the Internet (they obviously were) and made a point to let me know they have been having trouble with people making copies of printables.

    ReplyDelete
  12. I went to a metro-Detroit Meijer today (Allen Park) and did not receive a $2 OYNO coupon when I purchased 2 Maxwell House coffee canisters that were on sale, was there something in your ad mentioning this deal?

    Christina

    ReplyDelete
  13. Christina, did you happen to purchase a flavored variety (like vanilla or hazelnut)? We didn't receive a $1 catalina with the flavored Maxwell Houses that were on sale - for some reason, it must be tagged to the more traditional varieties.

    The OYNO deal was tagged with signs in the store near the Maxwell House coffee.

    ReplyDelete
  14. I noticed you can print coupons from the Lysol website for many of their products, one of which is the Lysol All-Purpose Cleaner (spray or pourable). It is on sale for $2 this week, and with the $1/1 it would only be $1!

    ReplyDelete
  15. I did not receive the $1 Catalina from my french roast and house blend maxwell house coffee. I live in Maumee and wondering if this is a regional catalina and just not in my area. I did not see a sign up stating that there would be a $1 catalina. However I was delighted to get the coffee at !.49 each but without a $1 Catalina I think that I won't get more.

    ReplyDelete
  16. Sorry to hear that, Anonymous! There were signs all over the Maxwell House coffee shelves at my store, and I'm surprised that it wouldn't be offered in all areas...

    ReplyDelete
  17. You can print $1.00 coupons at http://www.freschetta.com/

    ReplyDelete
  18. Can you combine catalina deals? If I buy 4 Grands and 1 Spread will I get 2 $2.00 catalinas or just one?

    ReplyDelete
  19. Crazy Coupon Lady,
    You can combine different Catalina deals for different products. However, the Grands Catalina offer was only valid through Nov 1, so if you did it today, you'd only get the $2 Catalina for the ICBINB sticks. Whether you buy 1 or 10 boxes of sticks, you'll still only get one $2 Catalina, so your best bet is to purchase one per transaction.

  20. i AM HAVING A PROBLEM PRINTING THE EGG BEATERS COUPON/ COULD YOU PLEASE ASSIST ME/THANK YOU IN ADVANCE

    ReplyDelete
  21. Anonymous (re: Egg Beaters coupon),
    The Egg Beaters coupon is a SmartSource coupon. It will require you to have downloaded the latest version of Java on your computer. For more hints, you can read these troubleshooting tips: http://www.macombmoneysavers.com/2009/04/printable-coupon-troubleshooting.html
    If you still need help, please email me using the contact tab above so I can offer more specific suggestions...

    ReplyDelete
  22. the egg beaters coupon would not print for me either.

    ReplyDelete
  23. Anonymous's - Try using firefox browser to bring the egg beater coupon, that is what worked for me.
    I was SO bummed that my Meijer (in AA) was all out of butter, but at least I got free egg beaters and my favorite cashier who thinks my couponing is really cool (that doesnt happen too often!) rang me up.

    ReplyDelete
  24. Using Firefox worked for me. Yeah!
    I am wondering specifically which coffees do I need to buy in order to get the catalina.

    ReplyDelete
  25. Anyone know if the can't believe its not butter catalina is still going? I went this morning (Okemos, MI) and there was a sign by the sticks telling of the catalina deal, but when I checked out no cat. printed. Had them do it at the Service counter. Then tonight went back and the sign was gone from by the butter sticks- so I didn't try it just in case it wasn't working anymore. Any ideas??

    ReplyDelete
  26. Molly, next week's ad (11-8) has that Catalina offer printed on the back in a small box. If you need verification, you'll have it then. It could be that a customer took the sign because they needed to prove it. Meijer's not losing any money on the deal, so they shouldn't be too concerned!

    ReplyDelete
  27. I went back to Meijers again to get more Maxwell House coffee to see if this time I would get a $1 catalina with 2 Original Roasts rather than the French Roast and House Blend. It did work this time. I checked again to see for any signs (Maumee store) and none were up anywhere. Frustrating!

    ReplyDelete
  28. Thank you for helping me with the eggbeater coupon. I ended up searching for it myself and found it yesterday. I was able to print from 2 different sites so I was able to get 4 coupons per computer, yay! This site has taken so much guess work and stress, I love it. Thank you for being a blessing to so many families. I consider this site a ministry to many!

    ReplyDelete
  29. I noticed on the eggbeater coupon catalina "additional coupon offer will not print when this coupon is redeemed in the same transaction" Anyone seen this before? Are they going to put a stop to a catalina being able to "roll"?

    ReplyDelete
  30. I noticed that statement on my Eggbeaters Catalina today, too. I'm not sure if that will be a new trend with all of the checkout coupons, but I'm grateful that it's clearly stated on the coupon so that I don't learn the hard way!
