My last post inspired this one. I am a dedicated sale shopper. I used to be a crazy coupon shopper, but coupons aren't as good as they used to be (the economy even ruined that) and I have less time deal with them as I used to, but I still use some.
Mainly, I shop based of the grocery store ads. This is pretty easy to do, once you get used to doing so.
The key is to watch the sales, when something is on sale you stock up so you don't have to buy it when it is not on sale.
Better yet, clip coupons for foods, then use them when you can buy the item on sale
I am speaking for Southern So Cal:
Grocery store sales typically go from Wednesday-Tuesday.
Usually the ads come in the mail on Mondays or Wednesdays.
Watch for them.
Then, see what is on sale at each store.
Going to more than one store can save you a significant amount of $ sometimes.
Watch for special 3 day sales (usually on weekends) and for coupons in the ads.
Some of the produce/natural markets, like Henry's have double ad Wednesdays -so the previous week and coming week's sales are both in effect.
Wednesday mornings... that's where I am :)
This week
Wed 11/3 - Wed 11/10
Blueberries, Blackberries, and Raspberries are on sale at Henry's for $1.50 each.
Blueberries haven't been on sale at any major grocery store in 2 months, so I am excited!
As winter approaches and is dominated by boring apples and oranges, I encourage you to get your berries while you can :)
