I’m putting this out as a sticky and will add as needed.
Free Mayo: First of all is a great deal on the 30 oz jars of Hellmans, both mayo and Miracle Whip, for $1.49 each, limit 2. There is a .75 ip here and a .50 in the 11/14 rp, which you stack with the Mealbox coupons here. Note that the .75 coupon requires you to register and, in my case anyway, only allowed one print – ymmv. For the lousy extra quarter you have to ask yourself if it’s worth it. I’m not linking to the coupon directly, but sending you to the Mealbox home page. Go through all the coupons listed under “specials” and add whatever you want to your shopping list. When finished, hit print as pdf. That way you can save them to your desktop or wherever you want and you’ll still have them whether Meijer takes them down or not. Better safe….. Also check out the tab marked “custom coupons” which lists many/most of the catalinas currently running at Meijer.
Almost Free Coffee: I’ve seen this on a number of sites, all with varying prices and dates, but according to the new IL Thurs-Wed ad and the “specials” section on the Mealbox site, this deal makes for almost free coffee. Buy two of the Seattle’s Best coffee for 11.98; use two $1/1 from 9/19 s. Add two of the Int’l Foods single serve boxes which run≈ $2; use .75/1 from 10/10 s. [you have to add two since the trigger is $15] At this point you’re at approximately $12.50. Buying these items together generates a $5 instant discount. You will also receive a $1.50 mfr cat for each Seattle’s Best you purchase and a bonus $3 Meijer store cat. After figuring in all the discounts, etc., you are looking at almost free for all that coffee.
Back from Meijer, where I ran four transactions. The $49.21 might seem high (for a tightwad), but it doesn’t include the four $3 Meijer store cats or the three $1.50 mfr cats [if included, my OOP would be $35.71]. So for the record, here’s what I came home with: 4 SB milk (used $2 coupon and $1.99 rain check; 1 bag sugar; 8 Hellman’s mayo; 12 LOL unsalted butter; 12 Seattle’s Best coffee (mostly organic). I’m content…
My friend told me that Dole ( I believe) bags of lettuce are 50 cents each at Shop and Save Market in Bridgeview. She picked up some bags for me. Expire date 11/21 & 11/22.
Is there a good deal on the LOL butter? I’m only seeing that it’s 2/$4 with a 50 cent/2 coupon. Thanks!
LOL is usually much higher priced than this – the $1.99 sale ones are usually store brands, which taste slightly different. Picking up LOL for $1.75 was certainly worth it for me. I have the world’s largest stock of the Bestlife spread, but for cooking and baking, I prefer the LOL butter. And it freezes so well!
ha! I’m in the same boat; plenty of tub butter, but I need sticks for holiday baking! You’re right in that $1.75 isn’t a bad price . . . and I’ll already be there for coffee and milk . . . 🙂 Thanks!
Quick note – the Bolingbrook store on Boughton (by 355) only had the lactose-free milk. I got the last four of the low fat (a case had broken open and they salvaged the four). sigh….. I have rain checks for 30…
