How about using this thread for savings, sales information?
If someone "snags" or spots a good/ great deal, come on here and post on what the items are, how much they are and where to get it.
I know I would greatly appreciate it!

I am not sure about you guys, but, I do MISS a lot of great deals for one reason or another.

Let us know, where to go to save some bucks.

Well I have one for you. Watch your mail, if you have a krogers near you, they sent me a ton of coupons tied into using your plus card. They apparantly track your purchases with it and sent me a ton of coupons for stuff I buy all the time.

Does it come in an envelope clearly marked from Kroger? I havn't gotten anything like that, and I am a regular Kroger shopper. Of course, I get the coupons that print out when they ring me up that are based on my plus card purchases.

Yep, on the outside of the envelope it said specially picked savings to brighten your day.

Krogers has a grocery store? I had no idea. I went to their site and put in my zip code (I live in Los Angeles) and nothing came up. I do see their products in our markets though.

In Ca they are the same store as Ralph's.

Husband and I go to SAM's for things we use quite frequently, and don't mind having to buy in bulk. Boy, but I sure noticed a difference in the prices of a number of things. We try to keep on-hand the 3-packs of DiGiornio pizzas (for kids, drop-ins, easy lunch or something). Two weeks ago, they were under $10.00 for (3), and this afternoon, they were over $12.00. The bill was close to $200 and while I bought a number of items, there was just no comparison.

I think I shared with you Guys awhile back, that running to the store for incidentals -- the things you run out of more frequently -- ran me $80. I almost died.

I'd go on a diet, but those food items cost even more!

Sams and buying in bulk is a great idea! Get the supplies that you can freeze, or keep. Good idea!
