You did great. How long is the catalina deal going? I need to go there tomorrow.

I did this at the Carmel Meijer on Friday and it worked, however when I tried it at the Carmel and Noblesville Meijer on Saturday it was not fixed. No catalinas... You are lucky!!!

Thank you...
From what I understand it's thru the 11th...

I had a few items that found their way to the cart due to husband... but he's so very worth it!

Look out for those Waffles on clearance... it's a hot deal!

Great job!
Did you do all of these transactions at the self check out?

cheapsk8mom said...

Typically I do the transactions at SCO, however today I did them with a cashier. A very friendly, coupon-enthusiastic, and FAST cashier. She rocked!! I plan on going through her line everytime I see her, if for no other reason than to get a receipt so that I can leave a comment about how wonderful she was.

I tried this at a Meijer in N-KY yesterday. I got a boatload of catalina's, but not any $8 ones. I got a bunch of $1 off produce, cheese, meat, etc. which had min. spending on them, so I probaby won't be able to use them! But worth a try I guess...

Does your Meijer double coupons?
Do they let you use a Mealbox coupon with a manufacturer's coupon? Mine used to but doesn't anymore...

cheapsk8mom said...

1 time my Meijer Mealbox Q's doubled, but I haven't had it happen since. I have wondered why forever... and have realized that it was the cashier who instead of trying to scan it, entered it as a .50 manufacturer's Q... which is why it doubled... My Meijer doesn't want us to use the MBQ with other coupons. They allowed it in the VERY beginning, but not now.

Wow! Great haul! I can't wait until we have a meijer's nearby.

Again with the "Aggh!" I didn't get to go to Meijer (remember I was going to bring my little ones?), because I got stuck in the freaking hospital!!!!!

cheapsk8mom said...

omgosh, what happened? are you / kids ok?

Unknown said...

I'm okay. I spent almost a week in the hospital with a very rare condition that was breaking down the muscles in my body. Total freak thing. They aren't sure what caused it, but I'm improving, so I was allowed to go home. One of the hardest parts was when my husband told me he was going grocery shopping! But he did manage to use the $18 in ECBs that I had that were expiring!
