I love buidling up my pantry with these sales, and to look ahead - all you have to do is go to Meijer's website, and click on store locator, and click on the great state of Michigan. This will give you a sneak peek at the cheapies to come starting Thursday. Not to mention, it'll also give you time to gather all your coupons, and get ready for some blow-out shopping.

I've salivating over the organic mushrooms, Rice-A-Roni, Meijer brand applesauce, and cookies (the cookies are totally delish!), and baby carrots. (I snack those instead of chips to entice my girlish figure to come back. It hasn't worked yet, but not for lacking of trying. Or maybe that girlish figure is scared off by my love of Nutter Butter mini's - I'll get back to you on that.)

Time to load up on goodies starts Thursday! Ladies, clip your coupons! (muich better than gentlemen, start your engines).
