Meijer shopping trip 11/24/11

I know, I know.... it's been a while since I've posted. I'll be perfectly honest, haven't had a TON of good deals! I was kinda bummed. Last Sunday, I went to Meijer and saved 47% and after the fact, found another $5 OYNO coupon that I could have used, that would have pushed it closer to 49% savings. :( I know it's silly, but I felt ashamed that I had let a good deal go. I was SO BUMMED!

So here's what I got today (THANKSGIVING DAY!) I did 4 separate transactions.

First transaction:
Blackberries Reg. Price $2.99 on sale $.50 x 2 (OMG, I would have gotten more, but I truly have no idea what to do with them. Parker can only eat so many!)

Crappity crap crap crap! Meijer shopping trip 9/17/2011

First, I'm going to preface this with- this is what I wrote on the comments section of my survey that I completed for Meijer: I typically LOVE Meijer and shop there at least 1-2x/week. AT LEAST. I try not to go to store #311 because of the cashiers (there's one or two that I adore- Jeri Randolph is one of them, as well as Erich; the rest are very very unfriendly- not greeting customers, etc). Today was a completely exhausting trip due to an extremely rude cashier. I'm a couponer (not an extreme one, but one none-the-less). I was buying a total of 11 items within 2 orders. The first order was 4 boxes of Barilla whole grain pasta for $.99/ea. The register spit out a catalina, the cashier handed me my receipt, but refused (even when ASKED) to give me my CAT. She continued to ring up my 2nd order, I, again, asked for my CAT from the 1st order (did this 3x total during this order; each time, she REFUSED to give it to me by ignoring my request). Before completing my 2nd order, I also asked for a rain check, which she quickly wrote out for me, without saying a word, but still refused (a 5th time) to give me the CAT from the 1st order. I reluctantly paid for the items as is (with my coupons I brought with me) and proceeded to the customer service desk, where I had a great interaction with a young man named Corey (he seemed a little new, but was very nice). He called over a manager that was on duty, after explaining my situation to the mgr, he apologized. I really would like to hear an apology from Devika, the cashier that rang me up, but I'm sure that will never happen. This has set in stone, that I will forever do self check out at this location. Again, I love Meijer and this was an extreme case of being irritated by one person in the store, who could have completely changed the outcome of my experience by just simply handing me the catalina that I was owed.

I personally just had a friend in the outer Chicago area, go to her local Meijer, and do this transaction 3x with the pasta and never once was refused the catalina or questioned. She even took the CAT from the first 2 orders and used them for the 3rd set of four boxes of pasta (so she got them completely free).

Thank you

Meijer and Wags shopping trips 7/31/2011

First off, let me say, I've never been a huge fan of Wags. I don't know why.... maybe it's just because the register rewards confused me. I think I've got the hang of it now though.

I went in for one thing and one thing only. Toilet paper. Meijer had it on sale for $12.99 for 24 rolls of Charmin (usual brand) but Wags had 12 rolls of Cottonelle for $5.00/ea. B2G$3.50 register reward. I had 2 $.75 off coupons for 1 pack of 12 rolls. The register was being dumb, but the cashier was awesome and put them through manually. Plus in the Wags coupon book, there was a $1.00 off store coupon (which went through 2x). I got 24 rolls of TP for $7.10 (including sales tax) + $3.50 RR. So it was lke paying $3.60 for 24 rolls of Cottonelle! That's $.15/roll!! Very excited!!

Now on to Meijer... I actually went to Meijer first.

Meijer shopping trip 5/22/2011

Last week was a major bomb when it came to my grocery budget. I hadn't gone shopping the week before; ended up spending over $200. In reality, that's 2 weeks worth of budget money so it's about even... but, it just about killed me to spend it all at once. My cashier this week was not the best, in fact, I'm a bit pissed because she only said one word to me "Bye." when I left. Whatever.... doesn't change the fact that I had some amazing deals!! :)

Here's what I did today! I did TWO transactions; the first, was very easy.

It printed a ton of CATs! 25 free Pampers points, a special deal with pampers diapers (too bad I don't have a kid in diapers anymore! Of course, I can't give it to a customer or anything because the same card HAS to be used to get the promo! Darn it! I was hoping to spread the wealth! $1.00 off of fresh ground beef, $1.50 off Tombstone pizza, $.75 off Heluva Good!)

No coupons, but great shopping trip at BRU!!

For those of you who don't know, BRU is Babies R Us. :)

Tonight, I went in search of overnight diapers..... Parker's been leaking out of his regular Huggies Little Movers at night, so, we're back to the overnights. Meijer was OUT OF STOCK as of 2 days ago on ALL OVERNIGHTS! WTH??? So.... I made the journey to BRU. I spent way too much money but got some super good deals.

Alas....... I had NO COUPONS (to bring or even that were non-expired that would have helped me)

Mega box Little Movers (100 ct size 6) $41.99
Huggies Overnights (20 cnt size 6) $11.99
2 packages of Huggies wipes 2/$12
$69.93 on diapers and wipes!!! ACK!!!! including tax.......

So then I was looking at their clearance winter clothes.... that's where the fun begins :)
I got 4 pairs of pants, 1 pull over fleece, 1 polo shirt, and one complete outfit (pant/shirt) for $38.58!!! I saved almost 60%!!!!! Original price would have been $95.75!! Not bad at all!

Here's a pic of what I got!

Small Meijer trip on 2/8/2011

Alright ladies and gentlemen.... I got out of work earlier because I have to take vacation time in 4 hour chunks, so I'm taking a half day on Friday, so.... I had to cut some time somewhere, so... why not today!? haha!

I decided to stop in at Meijer and pick up a few things, I was hoping to get out of there for under $20 total. Look how I did!
