(You can click on the picture to enlarge if you would like)

Today we went up to Champaign, Illinois to have an early birthday dinner for my husband, and of course I had to drag my hubby and son over to Meijer so that I could pick up some of the great deals available right now.  I had a really good trip with 85.5% savings!  Everything that I purchased above would have been $142.32 without sales, coupons, and checkout coupons.  I spent a total of $20.57 for everything above(not counting about $4.00 in tax).  That means I saved $121.73 or 85.5%.  To do this, I did do 4 transactions( I did 2 transactions, took the stuff to my car and came in and did 2 more) in order to use up all the checkout coupons, because I do not live close enough to go back to Meijer before they expire.  
Here's How I did this: 
Transaction #1:

1 bag of Snikiddy natural cheese puffs 2.89
- 2.89 for free item printable coupon available a couple months ago

6 Green Giant Boxed Veggies .99 ea.
-(6) .50/1 printable coupons from HERE

6 boxes of Ziploc bags 1.86 ea.
-(3) 1.50/2 printable coupons
-(3) 1.50/2 Meijer Mealbox coupons

Subtotal:  $5.10 and I got back:  (2) $2 oyno coupons for Green Giant and (2) $2 oyno coupons for Ziploc

Transaction #2

7 Kraft chunk cheese 3/$5
3 Kraft Singles 3/$5
-(2) $5/5 printable coupon from HERE

6 boxes of Ziploc 1.50 ea.
-(3) 1.50/2 printable coupons
-(3) 1.50/2 Meijer Mealbox coupons

Subtotal:  $6.67 I used (2) $2 oyno coupons that I got from the Green Giant from trans #1.  I paid $2.67 and I got back:  $5 oyno coupon from buying the cheese and (2) $2 oyno coupons from the Ziploc

Transaction #3:

6 boxes of Ziploc bags 1.86 ea.
-(3) 1.50/2 printable coupons
-(3) 1.50/2 Meijer Mealbox coupons

1 bag of Snikiddy natural cheese puffs 2.89
- 2.89 for free item printable coupon available a couple months ago

4 boxes of Barilla whole grain pasta .99 ea.
-(2) $1/2 coupons from HERE
- $1/4 Meijer Mealbox coupon

Subtotal:  $1.74 and I got back:  (2) $2 oyno coupons for buying the Ziploc

Transaction #4: 

1 Neutrogena Cleanser $7.49

2 Nivea Lip balms .99 ea.
- $2/2 coupon from HERE (took off $1.98 total)

2 Kellogg's Frosted Mini Wheats 3.85 each
-(2) Free item coupons from emailing company (something was going on with these coupons and I think the cashier might have taken a little extra off, but it is hard to decipher this receipt)

4 bottles of Juicy Juice 2.00 ea.
- $3.00 for Meijer promotion for buying 2 Kellogg's cereals and 2 Juicy Juice
- $2/4 coupon from HERE
-$2/4 Meijer Mealbox coupon

1 package of Apple and Eve Fruitables 2.88
- $1/1 coupon received by emailing company

4.55 lbs. of Organic Bananas @ .59/lb. = 2.68 total

1 bag of Dole Salad .99

2 large boxes of Nesquick 2.74 ea.
-(2) $1.25/1 coupons from HERE
-$1/2 Meijer Mealbox coupon

2 Tubs of Maxwell house Coffee 6.99 ea.
-$1/2 coupon from HERE

Subtotal:  $28.06 I used:  (2) $2 oyno coupons from Ziploc in Trans #1, $5 oyno coupon from cheese in Trans #2, (2) $2 oyno coupons from Ziploc in Trans #2, (2) $2 oyno coupons from Ziploc in Trans #3.
All totaled, I used $17 in oyno coupons on this transaction and I ended up paying: $11.06

If we hadn't desperately needed the $7.49 face wash from Trans #4 I would have only paid $13.08 for everything in the picture above!

*oyno stands for On Your Next Order
* no, I did not clear out the shelves of Ziploc although there were already quite a few gone.
The Meijer Mealbox coupons that I used to make these a money maker with the checkout coupons, expired the day of this transaction 9-17 but if you have access to multiple computers to print off more of the $1.50/2 coupons from HERE, you can still get the Ziplocs for .47 ea. if you buy 6.  If your store has the Ziplocs that are on rollback for $1.50 each (the 50 ct. sandwich bags or 50 ct. snack bags) then they will only be .08 per box.
Here's How this works:
Buy 6 Boxes of Ziploc Bags @ 1.50 ea. = $9.00
Use (3) $1.50/2 printable coupons from HERE
Pay:  $4.50 and get back (2) $2 oyno coupons
Net Price after Checkout coupons= .50 for 6 boxes or .08 ea.!
