Any Bargains at Your Grocery Lately?

13 years ago

I didn't see many bargains today, but did get five pounds of apples for $3.99. They had three varieties to choose from, Braeburn, Red Delicious and Fuji. They also had the smaller can of Libby's canned pumpkin, two for $3.00. I did not buy any pumpkin but did by two bags of apples, Braeburn and Fuji.

Have you found any bargains in your grocery store?

No bargains around here, just higher prices every time I shop.

Just picked up 4 pounds of butter at 1.88 each; and 4 packages of crem cheese at .88 each today. There was a limit of 4 of each. Will go back tomorrow for another batch of them. With the holidays coming, you really can't have too much butter and cream cheese in. They won't be that low any time between Thanksgiving and Christmas. They'll keep fine for months in the freezer.

I must say the KTers get themselves some pretty impressive bargains! Our Craigslist isn't usually all that tempting. This morning my DS came over to tell me he bought a nice charcoal grill on clearance at Home Depot last night for $35. He thought I might like one too. I took a look at it, and I was impressed: Char-Broil, nice size, large cooking surface, complete with chimney, door in front to manage the charcoal, enamel-coated cast-iron grates, etc. For $35??? So I drove off to HD and snagged the last one they had left. The man who got the box into a cart for me (it's heavy!) couldn't believe it was only $35, and had to find an employee with a scanner to verify the price. He was shaking his head. Then I took it to the cashier, who said, "You've gotta be kidding me!" when she saw the price. So I think I got my Bargain of the Year rather early. :-)

The best deals I've seen lately is laundry detergent. We have two grocery stores in town, one a big box, but they do compete on soft drinks and a few other items. The smaller store often has better quality fresh fruits and vetables. Last week at Piggly Wiggly, found a special on laundry detergent: $2 for a medium size jug, normally goes for $5 to $8. Bought 2 jugs. Had been buying at Sams Club, but these prices were better cost per ounce. This week, the big box store, Pick'n Save, countered with same size detergent at $2 per jug, a different brand than the other store. Gonna buy 2 more jugs tomorrow. Won't need any more for a few months. I haven't found any bargains in tree nuts. These have been going up steadily in price since mid-last year. Two yeara ago, I could buy a 2 lbs can of mixed nuts (50% peanuts) for $10; this week the price went up to $13 when on sale, regular price: $14. Peanuts are still reasonable, but also creeping upward. Yesterday, I came home a bit miffed. I decided to pick up a loaf of rye bread to go with sliced ham. Wow, a small loaf was expensive, and then I spied a local brand, loaf same size as regular and lower cost. It had blazed in big letters on the end of the wrapper, RYE. I perchanced to read the ingredients. Guess what - no rye flour, dust, or anything. How can they get off putting RYE in bold letters on the wrapper when there is no rye in the bread??? I think it was wheat flour, a little Barley, and rye flavoring. Paahhh!

It takes 3.78 of our litres to make a U.S. gal. While a litre of 10% cream is often $3.99 at our major drug store's grocery aisle, often a litre of 5% goes for $4.39 - don't ask me to explain that! Fairly frequently either of them are on sale for about $1.99. The other day they had a "$3.00 off" sticker on a litre of 5%, as there was only a couple of days left on "Best before" code ... so I figured that $1.39 was a good buy. When it went through the register, the quoted price was "$3.51" ... so the "$3.00 off" meant that I paid 51 cents. As Canadian pennies expired a couple of years ago, most stores drop an additional 2 cents ... and if it's 3 cents over - you pay a nickel. I was buying a 4-litre bag of 2% milk, which is often on sale at "3.97", but it was Senior's Thursday, so with the store's loyalty card, I was to pay $3.18. Had the cream not been on sale, I wouldn't have bought it, so I saved an additional 2 cents that I'd have been charged for the milk ... bringing my actual price for the cream down to 49 cents. Nice price for 1/3.78 part of a gallon of cream. ole joyfuelled ... who also gets fuelled by getting a bargain

Good deal on the purse! I have not been shopping much lately. I am trying to get rid of stuff so hate to bring more in. But they did have the ribs on sale at Kroger today which was great since I needed some for Sunday. I just got 2 antique oil lamps from a young fellow on nextdoor. He is trying to raise money to go to camp this summer so his parents gave him a few antiques to sell. I mainly wanted to help him but I do have a small collection of antique oil lamps and these were very unique. They look great on my mantle. They are a petite size not a chip and all original. I actually gave him more than he asked me for. He was so sweet and excited about the trip. He is going to Gatlinburg, TN.. I was happy and so was he so it was a deal.

The butter and cream cheese were on sale at ShopRite--you have to have their store card. And they had a coupon in their circular this week for Sweetened Condensed Milk for .99--picked up one of those, too.

I went to Safeway the other day and they had a great deal on cereal. Normal prices range from $4.50 - $4.98 a box, but they were on sale for $1.99 a box and if you buy 4 or more boxes, they were $1.69 a box. I also had a store coupon for $2.00 off of 5 boxes so for all 5 boxes I think I paid around $6.00 +\- . It lasts for at least a year, so I can stock up on it.

We have a local German Brethren discount market (some people think they are Amish that drive cars teehee). One has locally grown squash for 69 cents each, apples out of the bins for 79 cents a pound. You need to watch the dates on some stuff there, but everything is cheaper than in the "regular" stores. I love picking and choosing my fruit and not getting it bagged.

Fry's (Kroger) has milk $1.57 a gallon. Don't know if it is just in Arizona but worth looking into.

At a small locally owned meat and produce market last week they had English cucumbers wrapped in packages of 3 for $1.99. They were very nice and just very slightly smaller than the singly wrapped English cucs on a nearby display that were priced at $2.99 each. I bought that 3 pack and gave one from the pack to a neighbor thinking that I would not be able to use them up quick enough, and I was still ahead.

This week in a large chain store those same 3 packs of cucs were priced at $3.99.

About the only thing I've seen that's cheap, (not quite to my definition of "bargain" tho!) is Edward's pies for $4.79. I bought a Key Lime and a Turtle. I like them both.

Was at Shopper's Food Warehouse and they had gorgeous large peppers (green, yellow, orange) for $1 a piece. I bought a few thinking I would use them. I haven't yet, so I might slice them and freeze them. I have done it in the past and the peppers are fine (I thought they might be mushy).

I discovered that I had been missing a bargain on laundry detergent. I had been buying detergent in large containers at Sam's Club. Then, one day last summer, I was buying a few items at our local grocer when I spied a sale tags on a few detergent jugs. Those were going for $2 and the normal price had been in the $5 range. This store has limited shelf space and he was making room for another brand. I snatched up a couple jugs. The stuff keeps a long time. After that, I have made a point to walk by the detergent shelves even when I don't need any. Later, I found an unadvertised special and bought a couple more jugs. I haven't had had to buy regular priced detergent in 10 months.

Last week WD had Marie Callander pies for $5.99. They're usually $8.99. Of course, they were out of pumpkins and, of course, I forgot to get a rain check :-(

This week they have turkeys for .59 a pound, Butterball for .99.

Publix has fresh tilapia (farm grown) for $5.99--a pretty good deal. Heavy whipping cream 2/$5.00. Need that this time of year for the pies. Land O Lakes butter, 2/$5.00. Maybe not deals where you are, but darned good for here.

Best thing Publix has this week is--and they only have it between now and the end of the year--their Turkey Cranberry Sub. It has turkey, bacon, gruyere cheese and cranberry sauce on it--other stuff if you want (I don't). Those things are just great!!

Our groceries are a little pricey in Florida.
