The second great deal was at Meijer - stocked up on cheese!

Transaction #1 (did this same one three times):
6 Kraft cheese (shredded, cubes or snack) at 3 for 5.00 = 10.00
Get 1.00 off instantly when you buy 3 in one transaction = 2.00 off
Used 3 1.00 off 2 coupons = 3.00 off
Total = 5.00
Used 5.00 Meijer coupon from last week's trip
Got 5.00 Meijer coupon for buying 5 Kraft products

So I did the first one and paid with the 5.00 coupon I already had and then used the 5.00 coupons I got each time to pay for the next.

Then I bought 6 Philadelphia cream cheese blocks at 1.25 (7.25 total), used 1.00 off 3 cream cheese Meijer mealbox (used 2) and used 1.00 off 4 cream cheese manufacturer's coupon. Paid with the 5.00 Meijer and earned another.

I also bought a paper so for 2.00, I got 18 bags of cheese, 6 blocks of cream cheese and two candy bars!

We definitely won't need cheese for a while :)
