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!

Here is the breakdown with the prices after sales and coupons...

  • 5.89lb whole fryer chicken $5.24
  • 10lbs red potatoes $5.00

I enjoy reading your shopping lists but I have a question. I'm sure I'll feel silly once I see the answer, but what does OOP stand for?

Great job! I am hoping I can get my savings back up to that much. Used to be able to, but got outta practice.
