This weeks deal at the local grocier was a regular sized bag of store brand chips for 29 cents with ten dollar purchase. Bacon was two for ten bucks, a BOGO- it's usually ten bucks each now.

There is a good scratch and dent place down the road too. I get great deals there on the regular. They have a regular stable stock section and another that is all just things they get and may or may not be able to get them again. Recently I got a 5 pound block of paneer cheese for seven bucks, a large wheel of brie for five bucks. AUGA curry packets were a buck fifty, but they have unopened cases, and there is 15% off if you do that. So it was a buck thirty five each for a dozen of them. I've seen them priced online at 4-5 bucks each, but most places are out of stock on them.

Half a liftime ago, at a place that sold odd lots, I found reputable company, sealed bottles of powdered saffron which had been dripped on by some other food product for about a quarter or less of its usual price. I didn't feel right taking them all--about half a dozen--so I just got one for me and one for my mother. That's the only discount grocery "score" I can remember, though I don't look for them. I'd been at that store looking for something specific, and just saw the spices. Reading about Nicole's finds is a lot of fun, but I can't imagine trying most of them, myself.

I always shop with a list and buy pretty much the same types of food all the time. Basic food like meat, fish, veg, fruit, cheese, store cupboard ingredients like spices and grains. I don't look for bargains because they're rarely on anything I would buy, however cheap. When I do my online shop I get offered various ready made and processed items but they don't interest me. I'm sure I pay over the odds for some things but on the other hand I don't spend any money on things we don't actually need

I think my most recent was last month. The store had mismarked some of their flat cuts of corned beef for $4/lb. The point cuts were $4, and the flats were supposed to be $6. I bought some for St. P’s Day and some for the freezer. Not much recently unless you consider $2/lb. a good deal for the nice chicken thighs I got yesterday.

I don't think I've ever purchased something to eat just because it was a great bargain! I've shopped for what I want/like and if it's on sale I might stock up but if something else were cheaper, that wouldn't sway me. And I definitely wouldn't be tempted by odd lots.

^Agree. It has to be something that appeals. If not, it wouldn’t be much of a bargain.

Well, Nicole seems to be enjoying them, and in a previous thread she said she donated freebies that didn't appeal to her. Some people love trying new things. Some are set on what they know. It was harder before the 'net, but I'm always up for trying new (or new to me) produce, even if I have to read up on how to clean and prepare it. I'd heard of kohlrabi as long as I can remember, but never saw it until they had it at the farm. They look like Spunik! The 'net told me what to do, and they're by far the most delicious brassicas I've ever met! But I only fuss over the price of highly variable things, like berries and sodapop.

I am swayed by deals!

I buy yogurt, but NEVER pay $4 for a little 5oz container....that's what Safeway wants for Cocojune Yogurt. Now...if it's on sale because of an over stock situation...for .49cents...I'll try it. It's delicious! Or...$1.99 boneless-skinless chicken breasts....THAT'S on my list...and half price! ❤️ I LOVE herb tea....but I NEVER buy anything except mint or peppermint....unless it's FREE...then I'll try it! Same with Almond milk or oat milk...I'm curious...but I'm NOT Paying to try it....but...if it's FREE...then I'll try it. I do like trying NEW things...some things....like a drink with 190 calories....I'll donate to a food bank....they also take egg cartons I save for them....It's on my way too....
