Comments on: Meijer 10 for 10 sale is hit and miss http://www.blogsmonroe.com/budget/2008/06/meijer-10-for-10-sale-is-hit-and-miss/ A frugal living blog for Monroe, Mich. Sun, 22 Nov 2009 12:47:39 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.5 hourly 1 By: Paula Wethington http://www.blogsmonroe.com/budget/2008/06/meijer-10-for-10-sale-is-hit-and-miss/comment-page-1/#comment-6668 Paula Wethington Fri, 06 Jun 2008 14:34:53 +0000 http://www.blogsmonroe.com/budget/?p=1945#comment-6668 It's Friday. I made a second run through Meijer as I was running other errands in Frenchtown Township. Yes, some of the things I was looking for earlier this week have been restocked. I got $18.98 worth of groceries - 11 items - for $7.40. I've never had that BBQ sauce before, but I did buy two on my coupon. I also got four cans of Dole mandarin oranges, with two coupons of 55 cents off two cans. Note that if you buy three cans, Dole will give you a 75 cent coupon at the register. I finally found a loaf of bread too. I had a coupon for Sunny D, which my husband likes to drink. There are also coupons in circulation for Pillsbury refrigerator biscuits; but with only two of us at home now, it makes more sense for me to make a small batch of Bisquick biscuits. Yes I had a coupon for that when I bought Bisquick the other day. Now ... while this isn't a record-breaking 10 for 10 sale in terms of coupon matching, I do have to say it has a big variety of products that really do cost much more if you pay full retail. Who would have guessed, for example, that generic bread would be retailing at $1.89? It’s Friday. I made a second run through Meijer as I was running other errands in Frenchtown Township.

I've got several duplicate coupons (I get delivery of the MEN, my mom gives me her coupons from MEN & The Blade & I get the coupons from our office delivery of the Free Press) for some of the items on the sale. I think I'm going to go back tonight or tomorrow just to get some of the sale w/ coupon items since they're such great prices on things I use anyway... fifty cents (or less after the "11th item free") for a bottle of Sweet Baby Ray's is a GREAT deal and we LOVE the stuff....

I have the same coupon. This sale was tricky because it features products that I normally do have coupons for - but not this time! You’re right. I have the same coupon.

I've gotten burnt on that one in the past. And don't you just HATE it when you find a useful coupon after the fact?!
