I consider myself a fairly frugal person. So it came as quite a shock to me that I have been clueless about these money saving tips for the grocery store.
1) You know the specials that stores run for Buy One Get One Free? Did anyone else out there just assume that the only way you got the savings was to get two? Pay for one at full price and get the other one for $0.00. Yeah... me too. And I'm always like... what the heck am I going to do with two gallons of milk? Or why-oh-why did I buy two cartons of ice cream? Anyway... I was enlightened today to learn that at many stores you don't have to get two!! If you only get one, you will actually get it 50% off the regular price. The tip came from a lady who shops at Kroger -- so all you folks in Indiana can do this! And I tested it out tonight at Harris Teeter. I got laundry detergent for $4.25!
2) The insanely smart woman on tv also suggested buying multiple copies of the Sunday paper to get more coupons. Not sure why this never occurred to me before. If I bought just one extra paper it would make a difference.
I watched this woman start with a $127 grocery total and knock it down to $37. Tony had to help me lift my jaw off the floor. Anyway... just thought I would pass that along in case any of you out there are still wondering what to do with that extra 5 lb bag of All-Purpose Flour you got. Don't worry... the holidays are coming... But next time - we'll all know better.
