My Meijer Trip 2/27/13 - I SAVED $154.39!

Okay, okay. So, it sounds awesome that I saved $154.39 right? Well, here's what I have not quite mentioned yet.... I spent a total of.... $141.77. Ouch! Well, that large amount of money bought ALOT of great things... So, without further adieu here it is.

First, myself and my fiance got ourselves some brand spankin' new New Balance shoes! Here is the deal. 
TODAY ONLY: Meijer Mperks has a coupon available for BUY 1 PAIR OF SHOES, GET 1 FREE!
In addition to that (as if it even needs to get any better!) this week when you buy any pair of New Balance shoes, you get a $10 Meijer Giftcard back at checkout! We "bought" two pairs of shoes, so we got $20 back in Meijer gift cards! Here's the breakdown:

Womens New Balance Shoes (the awesome black and green ones) - $65.00

Mens New Balance Shoes (reg. $65.00) - On sale, $59.00

Total: $124.00!

Now Subtract the Buy 1 Get 1 Free Mperks and...

 The total becomes: $65.00

AND THEN BAAM, We got $20 back in Meijer Giftcards. 

Two pairs of shoes for $45? Yes, please. 


 

Second, I stumbled across this deal a few weeks ago. A PUR water pitcher and refill kit on clearance for $24.79 (reg. $30.99) so I bought one right away because that's a YEARS worth of purified "bottled" water for $24.79! Well today, I decided to purchase a second kit with my awesome $3.00 coupon I had in hand. So there we have it, another pitcher and refill kit (another years supply of water) for only $21.79 this time!
