To maximize my money earned toward my next order, I broke my purchases up into four separate orders. I learned that Mejier only doubles the first two like item coupons so I wanted to be sure I only had two of each same item on each order.
Order Quick View (total items in all 4 orders):
Spent: $19.96
Total Savings: $56.12
Earned: $10 on my next order
Purchased:16 boxes of Betty Crocker fruit snacks
2 boxes Bagel Bites
3 Land O' Lakes spreadable butter
2 Betty Crocker potato packets
4 bottles fruit juice
8 bags of Green Giant frozen vegetables
I am not going to go into the specific detail of each order as I usually do because they were all pretty much the same. 2 veggies, 4 fruit snacks, 1 bottle juice, and as you can see from the numbers 3 had butter, 2 had bagel bites and potatoes. The total for three of the orders was $5.04 each and I earned $2.50 toward my next order for each of them. The fourth order was $4.84 and I also earned $2.50 toward my next order on that one.
With the money toward my next order the total for all of the above items was a little over $9.00.
The juice ended up being $0.17 a bottle. This was because I was able to stack a $0.50 Meijer mealbox coupon with a $0.50 manufacturer coupon (doubled). The juice was $1.67 and I received $1.50 off with my two coupons, so they were $0.17 each.
The bagel bites were free because they were part of the 10 for $10 and I had $1.00 off coupons. The vegetables were free as they were also part of the 10 for $10 and I had $0.50 off coupons that were doubled to $1.00. Same with the butter.
The potatoes were $0.20, they were part of the 10 for $10 but my coupon was only for $0.40. Still $0.20 for a side dish of potatoes is a pretty good price.
Lastly, the fruit snacks were $1.66 each (3 for $5). My coupon was for $0.50 off of two and when you purchased 4, you receive $2.50 toward your next order. I bought 4 boxes on each order, used two $0.50 coupons which made them $4.64 for the 4 boxes. Subtract the $2.50 earned and it was $2.14 for 4 boxes or $0.54 a box.
The kids are LOVING the fruit snacks and can't seem to get enough of them. I must admit I sneak a fruit roll up on occasion as well. Having the large supply saved me from running to the store the night before Liam's snack day at school.
