Meijer scenarios-good week to stock up on some kid friendly products!

As I mentioned a few days ago, I had a horrible experience with Meijer last week. Well, I found a few bargains and did quite a few scenarios that I wanted to share with you. I always have to do duplicate transactions and normally it's because of a catalina that will print when I buy a particular amount of a product. I do multiple transactions so I am spending the least amount of money out of pocket. Here are the items that I grabbed:

Thanks to Macomb Money Savers for this breakdown!

$1.69 Capri Sun Juice Drinks, 10 ct Original, Roarin Waters or Coolers
Buy 4 or more Capri Sun Juice Drinks 10 ct. and receive a $3 checkout coupon good on your next shopping order (between 8/9-9/5).
$0.94 each when you buy 4 after checkout savings

1/2 PRICE Snickers or M&Ms Ice Cream Novelties
-$1.00/1 coupon (from 6-7 RP)
around $1.00 each after coupon, price varies by location

$1.50 Clorox Bleach, 82-96 oz
-$0.50/2 coupon (from 8-2 RP)
$1.00 each when you buy 2 with coupon

$2.00 Dannon Danimals 6 ct drinks or 4 ct crush cups
-$1.00/1 Meijer Mealbox printable coupon
-$1.00/1 Dannon coupon (from 7-26 or 8-9 SS)
FREE after coupons!

$1.79 Kraft Cheese Singles, 10-12 oz
-$1.00/2 coupon (from 8-9 RP)
$1.29 each when you buy 2 with coupon

Here's how my transactions looked and I will explain why next to each one...

I started off with a $5 meijer coupon a nice customer let me have last week as well as $4 in Meijer cash (somehow you earn this to spend on non-grocery items, found this by the cataline machine last week)

#1

Used $5.00 meijer coupon

This printed out a $3 catalina to use on my next purchase
