I didn&#8217;t think it would be that good of a week, since I wasn&#8217;t very prepared.  Frankly, I had given up on them doing super doubles again.  The last time was 12\/11-12\/17\/2005.  I still had a few rainchecks and such that worked out well, and along with the sales from the week, we got some good stuff.<\/p>\n<p>Where I missed out is that a lot of time, there are good deals on regular prices.  For example, Gum toothbrushes are usually free with $1\/1 coupons &#8211; so if I&#8217;m expecting a Super Doubles, I can get Gum Toothbrush coupons, so I have them when the week starts.  This week I had to wait till my coupons arrived in the mail.  Most of mine came on Wednesday and Thursday, though one annoying set didn&#8217;t come until Saturday.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s the final breakdown, ranked from most money spent to best moneymakers<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>8 Jif Peanut Butter ($5.34) &#8211; on sale for $1.67 and $1\/2 coupons.  Not a great deal, but 67 cents for peanut butter is not bad &#8211; and we eat a lot<\/li>\n<li>Tax of $3.88<\/li>\n<li>10 Cottonelle Flushable Wipes ($2.30) &#8211; $2.09-$2.29 with $1\/1 blinkies at Kroger<\/li>\n<li>38 Kid Cuisine ($1.00) &#8211; These went on sale on Thursday for $1, and there were .50\/1 blinkies at Kroger.  I had to pay $1 on one of them because the cashier messed up with one of my Pop-Tarts rainchecks and if I had given her my last Kid Cuisine coupon, it would have made my bill negative.  Rather than have to deal with that, I just ate the buck.<\/li>\n<li>10 Old El Paso Enchilada Sauce ($0.80) &#8211; 20% off, which I think made them $1.08, with $1\/2 any OEP coupon<\/li>\n<li>20 Post Cereal Bars ($0.50) &#8211; These ended up being 10 cents each after being on sale for $1.50 with .70\/1 coupons.  Plus I could use some of them for my Buy 10 Post products get a $10 rebate<\/li>\n<li>1 Pepperidge Farm Swirl Bread ($0.50) &#8211; $2.50 with $1\/1 peelie &#8211; a present for the Mrs. \ud83d\ude42<\/li>\n<li>10 Aquafresh Kids Toothpaste ($0.00) &#8211; These were the coupons that didn&#8217;t come till Saturday.  I still have 10 more coupons, with a raincheck for super doubles week, so hopefully I can pick those up next week.<\/li>\n<li>40 Totino&#8217;s Pizza Rolls ($0.00) &#8211; $1 with $1\/2 coupons.  There&#8217;s also .50\/1 printables but I didn&#8217;t use any of those<\/li>\n<li>3 Hefty Trash Bags ($0.00) &#8211; Used 3 of the coupons that I got for complaining about how the Hefty bags I bought awhile back always broke.  I still have one more left.<\/li>\n<li>9 Crest Toothpaste ($0.00) &#8211; Had 9 coupons left from when they were 10\/$10 last week at Kroger.  Crest was $1.97 this week at Meijer so it worked out nice<\/li>\n<li>4 Bertolli Pasta Sauce ($0.00) &#8211; These were on sale for $2 and I had 4 $1\/1 winetags that I picked up at a Kroger while I was on vacation in Virginia<\/li>\n<li>1 Emery Board ($-1.12) &#8211; Oh Sally Hansen how I love thee.  Unfortunately, at the 3 Meijers I visited, there was only one of my favorite peelie.<\/li>\n<li>2 Frosted Mini Wheats ($-1.33) &#8211; Bought these because I needed to buy 10 Kellogg&#8217;s products on the same receipt to qualify for my $10 rebate.  Otherwise there is NO way I&#8217;d pay 33 cents for cereal \ud83d\ude42<\/li>\n<li>34 Old El Paso Refried Beans ($-1.72) &#8211; Be good to not have to buy these for awhile.  Since the Mrs. is vegetarian, we eat a lot of refried beans.  These were on sale for 20% off.  Oddly enough, at the Tylersville Meijer they were 79 cents, but at the Ridge and Fields Ertel ones they were $1.03.<\/li>\n<li>8 Post Cinnamon Bunches of Oats ($-4.50) &#8211; Would have had 2 more, but I lent out 2 coupons to one of my co-workers, but then his coupons didn&#8217;t come in the mail by the end of the work week, so I got stiffed.  Since this is a new flavor, there were $1\/1 coupons instead of the standard $1\/2 cereal coupons<\/li>\n<li>10 Pillsbury Rolls ($-7.69) &#8211; I had a raincheck left over for buy 10 Pillsbury Crescent \/ Sweet rolls for 99 cents each and get a $10 coupon on your next shopping order (from when they did that deal a few weeks back).  When I got back home, she only charged me for 9.<\/li>\n<li>76 Pop Tarts 8 ct ($-8.06) &#8211; Ah it feels good to have the Pop-Tarts shelf full again.  We had probably this many about 9-10 months ago, only to eat them all.  We made due with some Go-Tarts, but even those were running out.  This was .75\/2 coupons, with B1G1F rainchecks.  Plus Brown Sugar Cinnamon and Blueberry gave a $1 coupon for Meijer gas for every 4 bought.<\/li>\n<li>16 Eggo Waffles ($-12.06) &#8211; on sale for 99 cents, plus B1G1F rainchecks, and $1\/2 coupons.  Also used 4 of these for the Kellogg&#8217;s rebate<\/li>\n<li>25 Post Honey Bunches of Oats ($-14.00) &#8211; On sale for $1.50, plus B1G1F rainchecks, plus $1\/2 coupons.  Now that I think about it, some of these might be the Cinnamon ones.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>All in all, a good week.   The final total was $676.42 of groceries for -$33.67.  Stay tuned later today or tomorrow for some pictures of the newly stocked, newly cleaned, Miller General Store<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here&#8217;s a final accounting of the week&#8217;s activities.
