Be a Careful Food Shopper During Sales
Do you understand the on-sale prices at Supermarket? Are you price savvy when the shelf price says 5 cans of soup for $5.00. Do you rush to buy 5 cans of the same kind of soup because you think you must to inorder to get the on-sale- price? Do not be fooled. Read the sale price closely.
Did you know that you can buy only one can, instead of five, and still pay a dollar for a can. You can buy two, if that is all you need, and still pay a dollar a can, or a total of $2.00. This is how supermarkets fool the consumer. Did you know that?
I just came home from food shopping. I wanted to buy a package of lettuce. I checked the prices and found more than one type of lettuce on sale. One was a package of cut up Romaine Lettuce. I really enjoy that. It was on a buy one and get one free sale. This is a great! I saw a woman pick up two packages of the same lettuce. I asked her if she only used Romaine Lettuce? She said, no, but it is on sale. So she thought she had to buy two packages of the Romaine.
I showed her a package of Italian Lettuce that was on sale for the same price. I asked her, if she knew she could buy one package of the Romaine and one of the Italian lettuce and still get one free? She shook her head "no". She thought the sale price was limited to the same type of lettuce. She never asked. Did you know this?
If you love Peanut butter, and the bin is filled with both Chunky and Smooth peanut butter jars on sale for $1.50 for a 5 oz jar and get one jar free. You are not obligated to buy two of the same type. Read the Sale carefully. You could buy one jar of Skippy Chunky Peanut Butter and one jar of Smooth and Creamy free. When their sale offers this type of sale, I stock up on peanut butter and wait until the next buy one and get one free sale.
The same is true of many grocery items on sale. Read the on sale labels carefully. If you do not understand, ask the Department Manager and not one of the clerks who work there. Do not get fooled.

Post a CommentThis is good information. I'm adding you and your daughter to my prayers.
You are so right on these points, Sondra! :)
Good tips, Sondra. I'll also put your daughter on my prayer list! May God bless your family and bring healing.
Great advice.
Wonderful posting. I just listened to the Savanah video it is so cute.
Thanks Jack for the good wishes. My daughter has been having surgery for all inner parts of her body. This is a good and bad thing. The good is because if it were not for all the surgery they never would have discovered that she has cancer in one of her kidneys. Kidney cancer when it spread outside is incurable. They are removing one Kidney on the November 30th. Please tell everyone you know to say a prayer for her.
They are also removing her Gall Bladder . It is full of stones.
Have a Happy Thanksgiving to all my friends on AC Content. Am Glad to be back.
Absolutely right on! I usually save around 1/3 of the retail cost of my groceries each week. I am absolutely adamant about one thing: a $2 coupon on a $3 product is NEVER a bargain if you don't need the product in the first place.
Great tips ty!
May God richly bless you this Thanksgiving Sondra. This is sterling advice. I know this will be a hard one for you this year. THinking of you and praying for your family friend.
"Sales" can be deceiving! cheers
