I stopped in Harris Teeter today for just a few moments to snag four 1 pound containers of strawberries.  They’re only $1.25 per carton!  At this price, you can buy some for now and stockpile them in the freezer for those winter months.

I bought four cartons today and I plan to use them for smoothies, baking, and just plain for good eating.  Then I’ll wash, cut, and freeze about two pounds.
Harris Teeter also has some other great sales this week.  I hope to have time later today to do some coupon match-ups for you all, so check back later today …read more

Hello everyone.  I went to Food Lion last night to pick up a few things and found a few bargains.  Here’s a few deals I found:

Marie Callendar’s frozen dinners and entrees are buy 1 get 1 free.  Then be sure to look on the freezer door for the blinkie machine.  There is a coupon for $.75 off one Marie Callendar’s Pasta Al Dente entree.  The pasta entrees are normally $3.99 and are on sale for $2.  Using the coupon makes them only $1.25!  If your blinkie machine is out of coupons (like mine) look inside on the freezer shelves.  Sometimes …read more

In the past few weeks, I’ve mentioned why I stockpile groceries and also told you some about the things I’m stockpiling.  A few weeks ago, I stockpiled ground chuck while it was $1.69/lb and I also bought a few packs of boneless chicken breasts.  It wasn’t the lowest price I’ve paid, but at $1.99/lb I decided to buy some for the freezer. 
Also, last week I shopped at Harris Teeter while they were having their triple coupon sale.  I ended up with about $160 in groceries for only $60.  My cabinets are pretty full right now and other than fresh items (milk, …read more

Yesterday, I gave a small introduction to stockpiling basics.  You can expect more of these money saving tips in upcoming posts.  Some of you may be wondering what I am stockpiling this week.  This week, I am stockpiling ground chuck.

Food Lion has their ground chuck on sale this week for only $1.69/lb.  Normally, you would pay $3.50 or more per pound for ground chuck.  You certainly don’t want to pay that price when you can stockpile it now on sale for later use.  By the way, if you plan on heading out to Food Lion, you’ll want to check this Food …read more

It’s no secret that the cost of living is constantly increasing.  I find myself spending more on regular every day items than I did last year.  Although prices are rising, there is a way to cut tremendous savings off your grocery bill.  This savings method is called stockpiling. 

There are two types of buying.  The first type of buying is need buying.  This is when you buy the things that you need at that moment.  Of course, need buying causes you to pay full price for items.  How many times have you gone to the store to buy something that you needed …read more

I had to take the cat to the vet today ($$$$$, sigh) and stopped in Food Lion for a few things.  They have some of their Kellogg’s cereals buy 1 get 1 free.   What makes this deal so great is that the $1 Kellogg’s coupons are still on the shelves.  Save $1 on each box of Kellogg’s cereal.   Combine a coupon with a bogo opportunity and you can save big!

There is a limit of 2 free boxes per transaction.  I did two transactions so that I could get 8 boxes of cereal.   With the buy 1 get 1 free sale and …read more

I went to Food Lion yesterday to do my weekly grocery shopping. I was going to pick up one box of Pop Tarts. They are regularly $2.39 per box, but they were on sale for $1.67 per box and I had a $.55 coupon. This would make them $1.12 per box, for a savings of  51%.

When I got to the Pop Tart section, I noticed that the new ones with 20% more fiber had a $1.00 coupon on the boxes.  Save $1 on 1 box?  Oh yeah!  I didn’t clear the shelves, but I bought 12 boxes of Pop Tarts …read more

Right now stores are trying to get rid of their abundance of Christmas decorations, gift wrap, gift items, and more.  If you can spare the money, now is a great time to stock up.  Why pay $3.99 for the Princess wrapping paper when you can get it for $1?
This year, I didn’t need a whole lot of things, but I picked up some kid wrapping paper, scotch tape refills, and some gift items.  Last night at Wal-Mart I saw some shatterproof bulbs, which would be perfect for making these adorable keepsake snowmen ornaments.
Some of the stores where I’ve seen great …read more

 
I’ve been talking about The Grocery Game for months.  And it seems obvious that I would because this has been the top avenue that I have found to save the most moolah on your grocery bill. I’ve talked the talk and I’ve walked the walk.  I’ve taught you all how to use it and I’ve showed you the savings. 
Imagine my surprise and delight when I was contacted by a Grocery Game rep and offered the opportunity to interview Teri Gault, CEO and founder of The Grocery Game.  Me?  Really?  
The interview took place last week and I’ll just tell you that from …read more
