Meijer Shopping Picture

If you've been following my blog for any amount of time or if you know me and my family, you'll know that we go through a lot of cheese so I love a good deal on cheese! I just couldn't pass up the deal at Meijer this week and since I have access to several computers, I was able to get several prints of the $5 off 5 Kraft cheese products coupons.

I ended up doing 3 separate transactions:

Transaction #1
20 Kraft Cheese- 3 for $5

$54.80 before coupons and discounts
-$21.46 sales
-$20.00 manufacturer coupons (4- $5 off 5 Kraft cheese printable)
-$2.00 Catalina from another previous purchse
========================================
$11.35 OOP PLUS 2- $5.00 OYNO Catalinas!!

Transaction #2
10 Kraft Cheese- 3 for $5

$27.40
-$10.73 sales
-$10.00 manufacturer coupons (2- $5 off 5 Kraft cheese printables)

$56.14 before coupons and discounts

===============================
$27.65 OOP

TOTAL for all three transactions
$138.34 before coupons and discounts
-$45.68 sales
-$47.00 coupons
================================
$45.66 for everything in the picture PLUS I have 2 more $5.00 off Catalinas to use!!

My plan was only to do the cheese deal twice (20 cheeses) but I had 2 more coupons with me and they were really well stocked and I figured I couldn't beat $.17 per item. I already put most of it in the freezer... That definitely gives me a good start to the month- I'm at 66.9% savings for that shopping trip-- my goal is to save at least 60%.
