If you missed my money-saving tips this morning on B105.7, here’s the rundown!
Flash Sales at Target & Meijer:
By now you’re surely familiar with the multitude of options for “flash sales“. They’re here for a day, usually with free shipping, then they’re gone. What you may not know is that both Target and Meijer have their own versions.
Target’s Daily Deals:
Meijer’s Big Steal:
You certainly can find some deeply discounted products, and you can’t beat the free shipping offers. But I’d caution you to do your research, make sure the item is in fact at the best price you’ve seen, and that it’s something you were looking to buy anyway. Otherwise you’re buying on impulse, like I do when I see Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, lol!
CVS Extra Care Bucks
When you have a CVS Extra Care card, you can get all kinds of savings plus earn Extra Care Bucks (ECB) on your next purchase.
If you’re a contact lens wearer, they have Bausch & Lomb Renu Sensitive Solution for $7.89.
They also have Paper Mate Grip pens, an 8-ct package for $1.99, with $1.99 back in ECB for your next visit.
I have a slight issue with saying it’s “free” or a “moneymaker”. You will pay out of pocket initially in order to receive the Extra Care bucks. But providing there’s not a long line behind you, and you have other shopping to do, you can (politely, please) request to split your shopping up in 2 (or more if you have a REALLY nice cashier!) transactions. Apply the ECB you received on the first purchase, to the 2nd transaction, and see how quickly your OOP will go down on that subsequent purchase. I have even purchased a gallon or two of milk at CVS as my 2nd transaction, to get it nearly free after using the previous ECB.

Here’s a 55¢ coupon for Aunt Millie’s Buns. They’re on sale at Meijer this week (sale started today in the Indy market) for $1.25 each, Hearth or Deluxe hamburger or hot dog buns. Meijer will match coupons up to $1.00, so in this case they will match it 45¢ for a savings of $1.00, making the buns just 25¢!
You can hit your browser’s “back” button (or right-click and choose “back”), and print the coupon a 2nd time.
Thanks, Common Sense with Money!

This is just a quick post, mainly because I’m in the process of preparing my coupons for a big Meijer trip tomorrow and don’t want to divert my attention for too long!
I just got turned onto Meijer mPerks, their mobile coupon program. It’s not new, but I never had texting until now and wish I could have had it earlier just for the benefit of mPerks alone.
With Meijer mPerks, you can “clip” (virtually at least) from their selection of coupons, then just enter your mobile number at checkout for the coupons to be applied. I have found it handy to have the list of my clipped coupons emailed to me, then it becomes my shopping list.
It’s not often you can save on fresh produce, unless there happens to be a sale. But right now, at least in the Indy area, I’m seeing mPerks coupons for broccoli florets, celery sticks, carrot sticks, fresh pico de gallo, fresh cut veggie trays and more. And that’s just for the fresh produce! I also have a mPerks coupon good for $2 off any $2 purchase! Not sure if that one is personalized for me or available for any mPerks member.
So if you’re not already signed up for mPerks, check it out – and when you get to the register, don’t forget to tap the MPerks button and put in your mobile number so your “clipped” coupons will take your hard-saved dollars off!
p.s. Don’t forget to use store coupons from the Meijer Mealbox too!
