It's back!! This is always one of my favorite games. For those of you who are fairly new to the site, this game is simple: I have $20 to spend, and I try to get as many things as I can at the stores this week with that $20. With the sales this week at Kroger, Meijer and Remke bigg's, there's a lot of great deals to be had! Here are some guidelines I use when playing the game: 

• anything on my list must be something I'd use or could donate to a food bank; no buying something just because it is free. 
• I theoretically have a maximum of 10 of any insert coupon; 6 of any printable coupon; and 10 of any tearpad or blinkie coupons. If there are multiple coupons for a product then I am allowed to use all of the available coupons within the pre-set limits.
• All coupon rules must be followed. 
• If buying more than 10 of any one item, all items are special ordered or bought in multiple trips. 

 The listing of deals below do not include any coupon matchups.  For details on how to get the same deals, check our grocery and drugstore matchups section for this week's deals. Why do I play this game?  Why not how many things I can get for $1? For $5? Because in my classes I often tell you that it only takes $10 to $20 a week to build a stockpile in about three months. You don't need to spend huge amounts of money to do this! Walgreens10 Snickers Cream Egg singles x .50 Remke bigg's10 Starkist Chunk Light Tuna Cans x .50 12 Aunt Jemima Pancakes x 1.99 Meijer 10 Lysol Wipes x 2.0010 Lysol All-Purpose Cleaner x 2.0010 Formula 409 x 2.5012 Windex Glass Multi Surface x 2.50 Kroger10 Fuze Drinks x .7516 Heluva Good Dips x .9920 Motrin PM x $2.4912 Red Gold tomatoes x .4920 Powerades x .4934 Ronzoni Garden Delight pasta x .4944 Ronzoni Healthy Harvest pasta x .4932 Ronzoni Smart Taste pasta x .4910 Vitamin Waters x .4910 Zone Perfect bars x $1.00 10 Kraft Cheese singles x 1.69 10 Sunny Delight x .89 Total before coupons:  $312.30
