Meijer: October 18-24, 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, be sure to let Meijer 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 be sure to check here again before you shop! And 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 - 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.

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. 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.
