I have come to know a few people well in the grocery store that I use. I get the inside scoop on when items will be on sale/or marked down. I recently bought ham (boneless, already sliced) for $5 a package. I bought 4. Various cheeses were marked down to .99 each. I bulk buy my turkey meat (I make my dogs food). So I know what goes into their food. I've done this for many many years. One of the ladies called me and told me that children's cough medicine was being marked down to $1.00, only because one bottle broke and cough medicine was on the bottoms of the other bottles, and some were normally $8.99 each. Wal-mart will match grocery ads if you bring in the flier. Keep in mind that they won't do percetages or BOGO offers. They also won't mark items down like I've mentioned, let alone call me. Our freezers are full, and my pantry is decent. I buy fresh frozen vegetables from some farmers. And I'll say this, I oouldn't find it any better in taste or cost! They have my business. I buy steaks on sale at an older grocery store, the building is paid for, so they say they can save us even more money.
I enjoyed the article.
