Weekend Deals

If you're planning on shopping this weekend, here are a few deals that you might want to take advantage of!

• Meijer - Today & Tomorrow
• Sign into your mPerks account to clip a digital coupon for 15% off your general merchandise and apparel purchase.  While you can't use it on groceries, it does not exclude clearance.  This should make for some great deals if you need to do some shopping for clothing, shoes, and accessories!  
• Aerie - Now through Sunday
• Like Aerie on Facebook and print a coupon for $10 off of any purchase. Thanks, Deal Seeking Mom!   
• Bath & Body Works - Today Only!!!
• Use this printable coupon to score a free Royal Collection Lip Gloss or Pocketbac with any purchase.  Thanks, Bluegrass Savers!
• Kroger -  Today & Tomorrow
• Score some free Crest Toothpaste when you load the $1 off any Crest Toothpaste ecoupon to your Kroger Plus Card.  The 10 for $10 sale will most likely extend into next week, but this ecoupon expires tomorrow! 

Also, tomorrow is the end of the month, which means that a lot of the printable coupons on Coupons.com, Redplum.com, Smartsource.com, and Couponnetwork.com may not be available on Sunday.  Print any that you'll be likely to use in the next couple of weeks before they disappear!

Meijer Shopping Trip - Spent $1.35!!!

It's late and I'm exhausted, but I'm so excited about my Meijer shopping trip that I had to share it with everyone before I go to bed!  I got a total of 35 items for only $1.35!  I'd never really done much shopping at Meijer, but they will be getting a lot more business from me after the pleasant experience I had tonight.  The cashiers were super friendly, unlike the one at Walmart this afternoon.  They also double coupons with a face value of up to $.50.  Here's the rundown from tonight's trip:

• 1 Similac Ready to Feed 32 oz - $5

I also had an mPerks coupon for $10 off a $30 purchase.  To get more information and sign up for mPerks go here.  You have to use a cell phone number to register and you will receive text messages periodically alerting you about new coupons.  It's a lot like the Kroger Plus Card, except you don't have to carry a card around with you.  All you do is load your digital coupons online and enter your phone number at checkout to redeem them.

Current Walmart Deals

I made a little trip to Walmart today to check out prices and compile a list of deals that you can find with coupons from this past Sunday's newspaper inserts and the May issue of All You magazine.  Walmart has never been my favorite place to shop and I'd pretty much stopped going there altogether until they recently made some changes to their Corporate Coupon Policy.  I thought I'd give them the benefit of the doubt and try again, but my friend and I ended up getting yelled at by the cashier because he didn't know how to handle a few coupons.  Yes, we were YELLED at!  I don't want to scare everyone away because there are some great deals to be found at Walmart, but just be prepared for some problems at checkout.  It's always been this way and apparently it still hasn't changed. 

Now that I'm done with my rant, I'll move on to the deals.  The Herald Leader contained 4 coupon inserts this week - 2 Red Plum (RP) and 2 Smart Source (SS).  For the rest of this post, I'll refer to them as RP1, RP2, SS1, and SS2.  The May issue of All You is available in store now.  You can find it next to the checkout lanes.

I will try to get back to Walmart to finish the grocery deals in the next couple of days.  These prices were found at the Nicholasville Rd store, so you may find different prices if you go to another location.  Also, prices tend to be higher at the Walmart Neighborhood Markets!  Leave a comment here or on the Couponing in Lexington Facebook page if there's anything you would like me to do a price check on during my next Walmart trip!
