Look for stockpile prices at Meijer by stacking the Meijer Mealbox coupons with manufacturer coupons for big savings. Using this strategy, I’ve purchased Ortega Black Beans FREE, Ortega Salsa $0.25/jar, Campbells Cream cooking soups FREE or $0.05/can, I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter Sticks $0.19 ea, etc.

Here are the best prices at Meijer this week — it doesn’t necessarily mean they’re the best prices you’ll ever find. I won’t personally do all of these deals for the Food Budget Challenge. They’re just what I see in the ad.
