What is the Box Tops deal? Is that at all Meijer stores or just in your area? I would love to get that many! My dd's school could really use them!
You are lucky that your Meijer doubles coupons. The 2 closest to me don't. :-(

you always do so good! Ok so the creamer...I didn't see it in the ad, is that their normal price??

Krog said...

The Meijer in Noblesville is no longer doubling coupons....the Carmel and Fishers ones still are, so looks like I will be driving to another Meijers.... They say they are not an Indy area store so they quit doubling coupons on Jan. 1st. Why do they promote the Colts like they do if they are not an Indy area store???

Do we have totally differnt ads? Mine has the yoplait for .50/ea.
=( I'm in central IL and they don't double here either.

@ Sashafras - it's in the Ad to buy 10 participating box tops items and get a Catalina for 70 bonus boxtops. I just sent my little guy into school w/104 tops today, and he'll bring that bonus slip in tomorrow. Here's the details. participating products here. Ends 1/21

@ lerinleigh - they were in the cooler in a weird place near the eggs. They're not expiring or anything, I have no idea why they were .20, but she did have to adjust the price...

@ krog - is that on the north side? Man I have no idea why on EARTH any Meijer would stop doubling Q's... It's just silly to drive away business. That's what sets them above the Walmart is their doubling... at least to me.

@ everyone...
I'm so sorry that your areas don't double. I guess it puts things into perspective for me though, since I"m always so jealous of the Cincy Meijers that double coupons over .50... Or the Krogers in MI I think that double $1 Q's all the time. I grumble that I can't score their deals, but I should be thankful for the deals I can score.
