TRIPLE COUPON MATCHUPS

The fine print limits you to one coupon per item (with no overage if coupon exceeds item price) and 3 identical items with coupon per transaction.

MY NOTES:
Prices can vary between store locations, along with selection (which is a little more sparse at the Sterling Heights store). Be warned that the Sterling Heights store is also often wary of printables; though they've said they'd accept them, they sometimes refuse. Their computer system won't automatically triple and they may need to input coupons manually up to the item price. For ease in triples shopping, the Shelby store was hassle-free.

I'll continue to update as I find deals - please contribute your ideas and finds as well!

Meijer: June 28 - July 4, 2009

This week is full of "Buy 10 for $10, get the 11th Free" Items. Whenever possible, buy these items in groups of 11 to maximize your savings (it bascially reduces the cost of each item to $0.90!). I've listed them as $1.00 each in the matchups just in case you're not able to mix and match to come up with 11 in your shopping trip; the "Buy 10 for $10, get the 11th Free" price will follow each final price in brackets.

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).

___________________________________________________

*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 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. The new Cass/Groesbeck location will double no more than one (of each identical) per transaction. The Fraser location (15/Utica) sometimes will double 3. You may want to call your location before shopping to be sure.

• 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.

Home Depot: 10" Hanging Baskets for $5

Colleen emailed to share this news:

I went to Randazzo's at 16 and Garfield today in search of their cheap hanging baskets. They have no flowers left at all.

On the way home I stopped at Home Depot at 16/Van Dyke and all of their 10" hanging baskets are on sale. I forget the exact price, but they weren't more than $5 each. I just thought I would share in case I wasn't the only one looking for cheap flowers.

Thanks, Colleen! This is probably a regional deal, but now is a great time to look for hanging baskets on clearance. And remember that next time you're out shopping and spot a great deal, the rest of us would love to hear about it!

Power Restored - We're Up and Running!

We were so thankful to have our power restored tonight! The electricity was only gone for 52 hours, but that was long enough to take a huge chunk out of our refrigerated and frozen food items. My 5-year-old is still mourning the loss of 4 Breyer's Ice Cream and 2 boxes of M&M Ice Cream Sandwiches. Of course, this forced freezer defrost gives me a good opportunity to thoroughly clean my refrigerator and freezer - while it's completely empty! We'll definitely be on the lookout for items to replace what we've lost!

And those 52 hours have set me back a bit in posting matchups and blogging in general. I'm off to work on those now (while catching up on laundry and dishes!) - thanks for your patience in the meantime.

Thank God for Your Electricity!

...because when you don't have any, you really miss it!

My apologies for a lack of good content today - the storm that passed through Metro Detroit yesterday took our power with it. They "estimate" that it will return by 1 am Saturday, but we can't be sure. So, for an hour, I'll blog from the comfort of my sister's home (and borrow her internet connection). In the meantime, some previews for what's coming soon:

• Meijer Super Sale (Friday - Saturday)
  
• A nice Meijer sale next week including "Buy 10 for $10, get the 11th item free" deals
  
• A blog makeover reveal (as early as Sunday!)
  
• And my first ever giveaway!
