I've been pretty much shopping the sales. I get the bogo's too and unless I need it, I don't get it. I do stock up some things however, like coffee when it goes down to $5.99 instead of $9 something!
One thing that I've noticed...most grocery stores will cycle their sales in 3-3 1/2 weeks time. Meaning, I used to stock up on the sale items and then a few weeks later, I would see the same item on sale again-for the same price!
I also try to go on the last day or next to last day of the sales. If you look at what they've moved to the end caps and out on the floor, those items are in the upcoming sales flyers so if I am looking to pick it up, I'll wait til the next day! |
