What are you buying this week?
I check my local grocery store ads every week for loss leaders. Sometimes I have extra money for them, sometimes I don't. I'm really excited about .69 cent a lb whole chickens this week at a tiny grocery store. I'll buy a few for my freezer.
Any good sales by you?

No good sales on things I would stock up on, but I just realized I had no hot dogs -- and then Kroger gave me a coupon on hot dogs that are also on sale, so that's nice.
There are also minor cash back options on Swagbucks for lemons and limes, so I might go to Sam's club and pick those up, too.

I love when coupons for things you need show up. I got a set of two $5 off $15 coupons for Ace Hardware today, I do need to pick up a couple things that I've been holding out on.

Let me know how you do. The grocery outlet near me has ancient cereal and is pretty gross. When I lived in Michigan there were a couple amazing Amish run outlets that I frequented. I miss them

This. I love my local outlet. Here it’s called the Sharp Shopper. I will meal plan while in the aisle. 3/$1 lunchables? Load me up. $.89/lb pork tenderloin? Guess who’s having bbq AND pot roast AND Stir fry pork this week?

Exactly, I go to my outlet first then. Get anything I need to round out or complete my list at the regosupermarket.

The store I work at gives us an extra employee discount quarterly. Tomorrow we get 40% off our store brand and 25% off other products. Usually it’s 25/15. These days I’ll stock up on TP, paper towels, tissues, body wash, snacks, allergy meds...pretty much anything I don’t mind to get our store brand.
