Weekly Shopping Trip--Savings $86.80

I went to Meijer this week where they had a great sale going on. You can read about all the deals here.  Lately, Meijer is only accepting two internet coupons per product. For example, I wanted to buy 8-15 ct Totino's Pizza Rolls this week and I had 2-$1/2 internet coupons and 2-$1/1 internet coupons well they would not allow me to use all 4 of those coupons in ONE transaction, so I split up my transactions! Hence, I took the time to plan my trip in a very detailed manner because of the sale and having multiple internet coupons.  Doing the two transactions proved to be successful because I saved more than I spent for my weekly trip!
