I saved 71% at Meijer this week!

I’m starting to get the hang of this meal planning thing… I think. After doing my shopping last night, I’m going to go back and update some of my lunches for the rest of the week to reflect all the lettuce I was able to buy at such a great price! All this food for only $11.88!

Retail $39.61
Sale price $25.48
8 FREE items
12 coupons used + $5/$5 mPerks coupon
OOP $11.88
Saved 71%

I hadn’t planned on the 3# of carrots or the 2 peanut butter, but I forgot I had the $5/$5 mperks coupon (and a $1.50/2 Skippy mperks coupon). I got all 6 candy bars FREE (they’re for my favorite valentines) and 2 FREE coffee mates — use 2 of these $1/1 coupons in addition to the $0.75/1 coupon I posted in this week’s Meijer grocery deals.

I stopped at Family Fare on my way home for the celery and onion to make lentil soup. My planned spending for the week was $14.50 and I spent $14.53 total at the two stores. Not too shabby! I updated the $25/wk Food Budget Tally here.

How did I do? Did you get any other great grocery deals this week??

I took full advantage of the B3G3 candy bar deal. We’re now flush in Hersey Special Dark.

lol WOOT! I’d have had 6 Reese’s dark choc PB cups, but I didn’t have the right coupons. Prob a good thing in the long run. Putting them in the freezer is not a deterrent. ;)
