Meijer Deals

So I'm going to start another weekly post on current Meijer deals since I have come to realize I have more readers than I thought. :-) Yay! I think this will be helpful.

These were my best deals this week. Note: I said these were MY best deals. According to a lot of the deal blogs I read, these would probably not be good deals. But I have come to find that I have to do what works best for me and my family. I already spend a chunk of time clipping coupons, researching prices, etc. and I don't want this to be an all-consuming thing. So you have to find the price points that work for you.
That being said, here's what I spent on the above pic: The pasta was 45 cents each and the rice was $1 each. So about $8 total. And here's why it pays to check out those Paper Gators. I had 7 coupons for the pasta that I have been collecting, just waiting for a sale. Last week I had 5 coupons for $1 off Muellers pasta which was on sale for $1 so I got 5 boxes of free pasta. Maybe we should have pasta a few times a week for awhile?? The rice is a very convenient food for me to have in the house. Right now I only have to make 1 bag at a time since Joel and Noah don't like rice so its a pretty cheap side dish for our family (and whole grain!). The lowest price I've seen on this rice previously was $1.66 so I think this is a great price! I may pick up more later this week.
So, there you go. My best deals at Meijer this week.
