WATCH THOSE MEIJER RECEPTS!!

Just want to take a minute to warn everyone to watch your Meijer receipts (or train your hubby to watch his receipts!!)  I’m not sure what’s going on, but it seems A little fishy to me!!  I have only had trouble with a meijer receipt being wrong one other time, but today 3 receipts from 2 different meijer’s were wrong!!  And when DH handed me his receipts, I was pissed!!  The stores visited today were Eastgate and Cold Springs.

TRANSACTION #1  (Eastgate Rd. OH)

1 SKIPPY PEANUT BUTTER $1.34 HAD A MEIJER MEALBOX COUPON FOR $1 OFF 2 JARS AND HAD A $0.40/1 COUPON SHOULD HAVE ONLY TOTALED AT $0.04 The $0.40 q scanned at .00

1 SKIPPY PEANUT BUTTER $1.33 SAME AS ABOVE…SHOULD HAVE ONLY TOTALED $0.03 $0.40 q scanned at .00

RAGU SPAGHETTI SAUCE $1.28 HAD A MEIJER MEALBOX Q FOR $1/2 AND HAD A $0.60/2 MFQ SHOULD HAVE TOTALED IN AT 0.28 A JAR This is the only q that scanned right

RAGU SPAGHETTI SAUCE $1.28 SAME AS ABOVE this q scanned at .00

RAGU SPAGHETTI SAUCE $1.28 SAME AS ABOVE this q scanned at .00

RAGU SPAGHETTI SAUCE $1.28 SAME AS ABOVE this q scanned at .00

AUNT MILLIE’S BREAD $3.19 (WAS MARKED $2.50) USED A $1.50 OFF 1 LOAF OF ANY BREAD Q WHEN YOU BUY 2 JARS OF SKIPPY PEANUT BUTTER. EVEN AT THE $3.19 PRICE, THE TOTAL PRICE SHOULD HAVE BEEN $1.69

1 BOX MEIJER BRAND FETTUCINE $1.16 USED A $1.50 OFF ANY PASTA WITH THE PURCHASE OF 2 JARS OF RAGU PASTA SAUCE COUPON.   I DIDN’T EXPECT ANY OVERAGE, JUST FREE PASTA.

TOTAL OOP = $5.14

TOTAL OOP SHOULD HAVE BEEN  $2.88.  WHICH EQUALS A TOTAL SCREWING OF $2.28

TRANSACTION #2 AND #3  (Cold Spring, KY)

SAME AS ABOVE EXCEPT THESE ITEMS WERE ADDED TO BOTH OF THESE TRANSACTIONS:

PURINA DOG FOOD $8.50 MINUS $5 MEIJER PRINTABLE COUPON = $3.50 = $0.51 tax) = $4.01

PASTA $1.52 (THIS PASTA AFTER THE $1.50 Q SHOULD HAVE TOTALED $0.02)

BREAD $3.19 (DIFFERENT STORE BUT WAS ALSO MARKED AT $2.50/LOAF.  If the register isn’t going to ring up the sale price, then don’t put the sh#t on sale!!)

2 JARS HELLMAN’S MAYO 2/$5 MINUS 2 $0.50/1 Q’S MINUS 2  $1 MEIJER MEALBOX Q SHOULD HAVE BEEN $0.50 EACH

1 LB. DELI MEAT $4.40 (USED A $2 OFF ANY DELI MEAT WITH THE PURCHASE OF 2 JARS OF MAYO coupon) SHOULD HAVE TOTALED $2.40

AND ANOTHER DELI MEAT FOR TRANSACTION #3 WHICH WAS $4.32 MINUS THE $2 Q WITH THE PURCHASE OF 2 HELLMANS MAYO’S. 

TOTAL OOP FOR #2 $13.19

TOTAL OOP SHOULD HAVE BEEN $10.31

TOTAL SCREWING OF $2.88

TOTAL OOP FOR TRANSACTION #3 :  $13.11

TOTAL OOP SHOULD HAVE BEEN $10.23

TOTAL SCREWING OF $2.88

TOTAL SCREWING OF THE DAY $8.04 

Now to some, $8.04 doesn’t seem like a big deal, but to me it is.  It would cost me $5+ in gas to go back to the stores to get things straightened out.  (each store is 1 hour away!)  So, as of today I’m putting Meijer on the list of “stores I won’t be shopping at anymore!”.  Right next to Walgreen’s!!  It’s a shame too, because I have always enjoyed shopping at Meijer…

Watch those receipts carefully!!
