This Week's Deals

So I am not claiming to be an expert by any means.  I just have this strange little hobby of finding and getting grocery deals.  All I really do is look at the weekly ads.  For the most part, they come with your Tuesday mail.  The ads run from Wednesday to Tuesday.  Harmon's goes from Monday to Sunday.  If I can getter something cheaper at Sam's or Costco I do but if I prefer to buy the flavors I like in the size I like at the grocery store.  Clearly, I will alert you to things that I like to buy and that my family eats.  I encourage you to do your own research and figure out the cheapest way to get what your family likes.  If that seems a little too overwhelming for you, feel free to copy my deals!

I have decided for the sake of time to focus only on 3 stores...Maceys, Smith's and Harmons.  Reams and Fresh Market are Associated Foods owned and the prices are very similar to that of Maceys.  And, wouldn't you rather shop at Macey's?  I would:).   Stock up on the great deals to help build your food storage.  In theory, you won't be stocking up on the same things each month and since you are getting items for cheaper, you shouldn't be spending more than your regular budget to get some food storage in place.  You may also want to plan your weekly meals around meats that are on sale and fruits and veggies that are in season.  Here goes.  Feel free to email me with any questions or suggestions you may have and happy saving!
