I’m not sure exactly how many trips I made to the store, but I did take a few days off (no trips to the store). Plus every physical trip to Meijer was at least 2 actual orders (curse them and their limit of 2 like doubling!)

Things I paid for:

62 Hamburger Helper ($14.00) – seems silly to *pay* for Helper when I have so much of it already plus I just got paid to take tons of it at Kroger a few weeks ago – but these were bought mostly for the boxtops deal.
16 Stage 3 Baby food ($8.83) – I liked it better when Joel was nursing 🙂
3 Gallons milk ($7.47)
24 Betty Crocker Fruit Snacks $4.48 – counted for the boxtops plus they were B2G2F and $1/2 printables made them free – paid for a few because I ran out of printables and had to use .50/2 blinkies.
8 Mamma Bella Garlic Bread $3.96 – 50/1 plus B1G1F
2 Kraft Shredded Cheese $3.34
2 Contact Lens Solution $3.33 – On sale for $3/10 plus rainchecks for 1/2 price
24 Kraft Handi-Snak Puddings $3.08 – $2/3 Kraft coupons plus B1G1F
1 Mozzarella Cheese 12 oz $2.59
1 Grapes 2.22 lb $1.95
1 Pepperoni $1.89
2 Bread loaf $1.78
2 Viva Paper Towels $1.78
1 Cooking Spray $1.67
1 Vegetable Oil $1.67
20 Nature Valley Granola Bars $1.50 – also B2G2 with $1/2 printables
1 Lettuce $0.99
1 Hot Dog Buns $0.98
1 Bananas 2.09 lb $0.92
2 Bisquick 40 oz $0.78
2 Mccain French Fries $0.69 – B1G1F plus $1/1 Meijer Gas

Stuff for free

18 Colgate MaxFresh Toothpaste $0.00 – even better I got $2 off Crest Catalinas on a few of these which I used to make money on Crest.
18 Lays Potato Stax $0.00 – 1/1 peelies
2 Pillsbury Dunkables $0.00
2 Act II Popcorn $0.00

Moneymakers

1 Ziploc Containers -$0.13 – I only found one .55/1 coupon, which coupled with the $1 OYNSO Catalina
1 Nail Clip -$0.51
3 Crest Toothpaste with Scope -$0.56 – It was $1.72 plus B2G1F and I had the $2 Catalians.
18 White Rain Conditioner -$0.72
26 White Rain Shampoo -$1.04
2 Tyson Chicken Nuggets -$1.12 – found some $1/1 Meat Winetags
30 Martha White Pizza Crust Mix -$1.20 – most of these just doubled to be free – some they punched in and so doubled the full amount
2 Betty Crocker Frosting -$1.50 – this was pour and frost – printables at www.boxtops4education.com
88 General Mills Cereal -$1.60 – lots of $1/1 peelies and $1/2 blinkies.
6 Ball Park Hot Dogs -$3.03 – meat winetags.
12 Krusteaz Muffin Mix -$6.00
28 Log Cabin Sugar Free Syrup -$6.74 – $1/1 hangtags plus B1G1F. Really I’m surprised I ever saw any of these since the deal and the coupons were RIGHT THERE, but even on Saturday there was plenty left.
16 Emery Boards -$12.38 -$1/1 peelies.

For the first time, I made it over the thousand dollar mark for the week – $1,014.09 in groceries (including $5.62 tax) for $36.77. Personally I’m disappointed I had to actually *pay* money :-), but most of the things I paid for I did for the boxtops. There was the deal where you buy 12 participating products (mostly general mills and betty crocker stuff) and get a coupon for 100 boxtops ($10 value). I got 16 of those coupons, so 1600 boxtops. Unfortunately they expire in Sep. 06, and Amy doesn’t start kindergarten till next year, so I guess it’s ebay and/or trading for them…

The first coupon for 100 sold on ebay for $9.75.
