Dozen Jumbo eggs at local Jewel Osco at $4.99

Dozen Jumbo eggs at Trader Joes - $1.99

Iron Woode · Oct 2, 2023

Due to Thanksgiving being a week away here, there are many great deals now.

Cabbage is 49 cents per pound, 2 racks of back ribs were $2.99 per pound, whole pork loins at $2.49 per pound, peameal bacon and pork cottage rolls are $2.99 per pound not to mention 10lb bags of new potatoes are a $1.94 each.

There are other great deals on autumn produce here. Turkeys are still more pricey than I like.

I have nothing recent to post here, but back during the pandemic, I found a bottle of Xyzal listed for $1 at Walmart.

I bought one bottle two separate times before they caught on that the price was wrong.

You can get some insane deals like that at Walmart that are marked down seemingly for no rhyme or reason. Monday I bought Green Mountain Maple Pecan kcups 24 ct for $3.48. Best use by date May 2025. In-store price is now $14.92 Yesterday I bought Atkins Chicken alfredo frozen dinners w/best used by date late 2024 for $1.

Ours is not to reason why, ours is just to buy and buy.

One thing we look forward to is the 1st Wednesday of every month. Seniors get 10% off their bill, 55 years and older. Then if we get our flu shots at their pharmacy they give a coupon for another 10% off. So stack those 2 together on top of the things on sale it adds up.

Aldi's yesterday had spiral sliced hams for $,89 a lb. Made 10 meal portions for 2 out of it and ham salad from the chunks not sliceable. Not bad for $6.76.

Picked up 5lbs of beef shanks at $3/lb and will be making braised shanks in the dutch oven. Carrots, celery, red wine, stock, herbs, and two cans of tomatoes.

Still... not bulk. I am disappoint.

I don't understand their pricing.

I got eggs today for $1.79/dozen at one store, but the two other stores I stopped at were at least $3/dozen. Cottage cheese was $2.59 at the first store and over $4 at the others. Milk was $3.09 at the first and over $4 at the other two. Yet chicken and pork were virtually the same at around $2.50-2.99/lb for boneless/skinless breasts and thighs.

I got these for $1.49 each from aldi. Short expiry...

I got 11 of the appenzeller and 6 of the tête de moine. I might end up buying more this weekend if there's any left. Both are excellent.

Iron Woode · Mar 4, 2024

Not many great deals here.

They had full Eye of Round roasts here for $4.49 per pound. It used to sell at $3.49 before covid.

Walmart did have a $1.00 sale for a 10lb bag of potatoes. I picked up 2 bags.

Another sale is a 3 liter container of Canola or Vegetable Oil for $7.99. Normally it's around $12.00 here.

I like my dinky local Choprite (Shoprite if you're not in the NE). Much better variety than WF and in half the space. Tonight was weird tho. Place was packed. All it needed was a disco ball.

Just in case you eat a lot of chicken - as we do, I can buy 10 lbs of leg quarters, Perdue, no antibiotics ever (at least that's their claim), for $6.72 at Walmart. Regular price, not a sale. YMMV. I looked at a store in TX and they had Covington Farms brand at the same price and northern VA had the Perdue ones for $2 more and northern AL I didn't see any at all.

Dr. Detroit · Mar 6, 2024

Bought a whole "keta" salmon for $3/lb at the local supermarket. Head off, tail on.

Filleted it and then used the BBQ God's, Stephen Raichlin, smoked salmon candy recipe. Used TreeHive Maple Syrup and it turned out fantastic.

I've seen the same 10 pound bags for $5.90

The problem with quarters is the amount of bone you're paying for. I get boneless, skinless thighs for about $2.50/lb (sometimes less) , all meat, no waste.

5.90/10 = 0.59 per lb. The thigh quarters would have to be 75% bone by weight to be around 2.50/lb boneless

Also skin and bones are good for stock. I buy skinless and boneless chicken thigh to save time, not money.

This is how I shop. I use discount stores to begin with. Big Lots has the same name brand stuff as chain groceries, but at lower prices. This weekend they are running a coupon for 20% off your total purchase, no exclusions. Then they do a 10% Vet discount that stacks. Then I use a card that gives a normal 2% cash back and periodically runs other promotions. Recently those have included 10% back on Big Lots.

So, I get 20% off normal price, plus 10% off that, plus 12% cash back on the card.

$10.00 - 20% = $8.00 - 10% = $7.20 - 12% back = around $6.30

Lost_in_the_HTTP · Mar 23, 2024

Working out the receipt, the total was $60.51 and the amount charged by the store was $43.56, for a discount of about 28%.

With the CC rewards of a little over $5.00, the total discount percentage is around 36-37%.

I did the same thing at a Big Box store. 10% off at the store which included several items marked down 50%, then the credit card gives me another 5%.

This store knocks half off anything that is a bit damaged. An 8' board that I'm going to cut to 6' or 7' is fine with me if one end is split and I can cut off the bad section.

Went to biglots today myself. I only got the straight 20% off, but I stocked up on field food. I'd have gotten more than two jugs of cat litter, but I didn't feel like dealing with it in the rain. Biglots is the only loyalty card I have under my name. I probably got it 20 years ago. Probably shouldn't have, but it's saved me a lot of money.

Got Eggs today for .99/dzn. Yes, they are real eggs and large too.

Lost_in_the_HTTP · Jun 12, 2024

Got some Oreo eggs today. Double stuffed

Little out of the way place said they all had double yolks.

No Nuke plants around here and I didn't notice any high voltage power lines.

sdifox · Jun 12, 2024

Strawberries 1lb for 1.88. On the other hand 2lbs of carrots were 2.99

lxskllr · Jun 12, 2024

GroceryOutlet was selling these for 98¢\each, and I bought a case. A couple weeks later they were going for 3 for 98¢, and I bought 12 more bottles.

K1052 · Jun 12, 2024

Store had Triscuits at buy 4 for $2.49 each the other day.

Iron Woode · Jun 13, 2024

I snagged a 2kg bag of parboiled rice for $2.00 yesterday. Normally goes for $4.50 here.
