Just back from Meijer with a warning to always check your receipt!  Case in point:  Today there was an old guy in front of me buying just a few items, among them a loaf of bread.  When he sees the total he comments that the hamburger buns are supposed to be free when you buy a loaf of bread.  Cashier points out that he has the deluxe buns and not the hamburger buns.  He trots off to get the right one…again the cashier scans them and it doesn’t come off.  Wrong ones.  He says that these are the buns in the cardboard display with the bread!  I say get a manager to make them free because you have to pay more attention to what you’re putting in the display.  Now my turn.  Total comes to $6.34 for the items show here.  I knew it was a couple of bucks off, so asked and cashier said that the mPerks $2 had come off.  Took the receipt off to the side and scanned it.  Sure enough, the Purina cheez treats, marked on the shelf as $1.09, were actually ringing as $1.39.  Now, an ordinary shopper (certainly not us) would have purchased one or two of these and would never have noticed an extra .30 or so…  In my case, though, with eight it was apparent that an overcharge had been made.  So off to customer service and a return of my $2.60 ($2.40 + high tax).   Also, mPerks takes the place of a mfr coupon, so the post that talked about using paper and mPerks was incorrect.  This is why I always like to run the deals before posting…

Crappy weather out today, certainly not the day to grocery shop, but….I’ve seen this on a couple of boards, but haven’t yet checked it out:  the Taco Bell seasoning packets are on sale for .34 and coincidentally there is a Mealbox coupon for $1/3!  There is also a mPerks coupon for Milkbone Essentials which may tie in to their $2.50 sale price, don’t know yet, will check it out.  Combine that with the $1/1 from the 9/26 rp and should be more free dog stuff.  I’ve run out of computers to print the olive oil coupons, so right now I’m stuck with only 10 – not too many when you figure out I want them to last a year.  Remember, I like to stock up, not do the weekly stuff…
