Meijer

My Meijer ad always starts on Thursday instead of Monday so if you live in a Monday-Sunday area this may be your last weeks ad.

  • Buy 3 get 3 free Kraft Mac & Chs
  • Stouffer's Red Box Entrees and Panins are $2. There are $1 off 2 coupons on the panins and $1 off 3 on the entrees
  • Green giant boxed vegetables are $1. There are $.50 off 2 coupons out that will double to $1 at my meijer making this $.50. I don't need any though.
  • They also have Lean Cuisine $6 for 12 but you get a free pack of yogurt for every 6 you buy. I will probably buy these at Meijer since they are more friendly about internet coupons. Kroger will often not accept internet printables over a $1.

  2. hey i was following your links, and the thrifty mama says soyjoys are also free at cvs after ecb's... that might be something a lot of people wouldn't try, but they're perfect handouts for the "hungry homeless" people at the intersections.

    i don't expect you to leave these on your page! am just typing instead of calling u at 8:30am :) and figure you might spend more time here than your inbox for a while, bcause i would :)

  3. Thsnks for spotting the soy joy I am adding it. And yes, 2 weeks ago I was kicking myself for not getting a raincheck when chicken leg quaters were .59. Glad I didn't buy them now. Hillbillyhousewife suggests splitting them and using the thighs as you would breasts and I figure I'll make fried chicken with the drumsticks. I'm not much of a cook so we'll see.
