I am able to purchase about 40% of what we eat at the drugstores - and I combine my coupons with their weekly specials AND in-store coupons as well as use CVS Extra Care Bucks to control my out-of-pocket expense. About the only thing I am purchasing at the grocery store these days is around the outer edges of the store (meats, produce, dairy, frozen food.)
How to get the BEST Grocery Savings:
I mentioned once before that Winn-Dixie is my favorite place to shop.
Meats
Every week they run different BOGOF (buy one get one free) specials on their meat. I don't ever purchase any meat unless it is drastically reduced (manager's special because it's close to expiration) or it's BOGOF.
For example, in this week's ad the meat BOGOF specials are:
- Boneless Top Round London Broil
- Center Cut Boneless Pork Chops
- Split Chicken Breasts
Produce
I don't have any local Farmer's Markets close to me so I have to purchase my produce at the grocery store. I very rarely find coupons for produce, although I have been able to find a few for pre-packaged salads (which I happen to love!)
In this week's ad the produce specials I'll be picking up are these:
- 2 lb bag carrots - .99 - probably grab a couple of these since we love carrots
- cucumbers - 2/$1
- 3 lb bag tangerines - 2/$4 (only need 1 bag of these)
- Romaine lettuce - .99/bunch
- Broccoli - 2 heads/$3.00
- Dole classic salads (bagged) - 2/$4.00 - have a coupon for this to save $1.00
- Cantaloupe - .99 (these are at Albertson's this week for 2/$2.99)
- Strawberries - 2/$5.00
- Planters Trail Mix (limit 3) $1.00 bag
- Pringles Stix 2/$5 (have 2 coupons for .30 off each)
- Ravioli $1.00 (same price at Winn-Dixie - but will pay for it with Register Rewards)
- Oscar Mayer Ham & Kraft Singles Cheese 2/$4 (will use RR to pay for it)
