Grocery Deals

I've gotten some AWESOME deals these past couple of days! I've been to Meijer (both Rossford & Oregon), Kroger (Perrysburg), Target and Giant Eagle.

Yesterday at Meijer I pretty much just stocked up on the deals BUT the one deal I was most excited about...toilet paper...they were all out of. Northern TP, 6 double rolls, is on sale right now for $2.50. There is a coupon available at www.meijermealbox.com for $1.00 off of 1 package of TP. Today I went to another Meijer and was able to find the deal. I was able to get each for $1.50...I bought 8!

I've not been one to shop at Kroger or Giant Eagle but ever since my free cereal experience at the Perrysburg Kroger (because they double up to $1) I've made sure to check the ads to see what good deals I can get. I still don't shop there too often but will try to snatch up a deal if I have time.

Kroger is currently having a deal where if you buy 10 of specified items then you'll get $3 off instantly at the register. Today I went there and bought some of the items. Betty Crocker fruit snack stuff is part of the deal...you can usually always find coupons for these. They were $1.19 a box with coupons ($.50/2 doubled--use 5). Also, by purchasing over 5 boxes of fruit snacks, I received a coupon for $3.50 off my next shopping trip. I was also able to get 3 bottles of Kraft BBQ sauce for FREE and some Ragu pasta sauce for $.09!! So check your coupons & the Kroger ad and see what deals you can get!

Today was my first "real" trip to Giant Eagle. I'd been there one time before to grab some fresh bread or something like that. I check their ad every week but nothing ever really catches my eye...till this week! :) I got my customer card and away I went. They also double coupons up to $1. I was able to get quite a bit of free stuff today. My Giant Eagle purchases are in the picture above...the boys were wanting to be a part of it since they "helped". Everything in that picture (plus 4 packages of hot dogs that made it to the garage freezer) cost me around $20. I had also bought $20 worth of pop--they have a deal going where you get 5- 24 packs for $20...I decided to stock up! With coupons...2 packages of Bertolli Premium Pasta sauce, 2 bottles of Kraft salad dressing, 4- 8 oz. Cool Whip, 6 boxes of jello, 1 box of Wheat Thins, 3 boxes of Mini Wheats...all free. Check it out...this week's sales go on through July 1.

At Target, I got some good deals too but I have to tell you, they are VERY picky about their coupons and I don't know that I'll go there anymore with coupons. I seriously had a cashier today that read ALL of the fine print on my coupons...never had that happen before...and then tried to refuse them. I had to explain the wording to her so that I could use them. The last time I tried to use coupons there they refused to take them (even though they were from their own website) and I didn't end up buying the stuff. Anyway...they do have a good deal on Eggo Bake Shop stuff--there are $1 coupons out there and you can get it for $.50...if they let you use the coupons! Does anyone else have trouble there?

After this week, I'm getting closer and closer to my established stockpile. I'm getting pretty excited! :)

If there are deals you've found...feel free to share! :)
