Some of the Hot Deals I bought during week 4 of December are a half dozen cans of green beans to replace what I've used from my pantry (there is no limit), and the 29¢ eggs of course, for baking and cooking. (Iowa leads the nation in egg production!) Russet Potatoes are on sale again and at $1 for 5 pounds they
are a real bargain. These are new crop,
and smaller sizes; about 5-8 ounces each, so they are a good choice for
us. Besides baked potatoes and regular
mashed potatoes, I have a couple dishes that use left-over mashed potatoes that
I want to make again. I cook enough
potatoes for a meal to be sure I have enough for one of these recipes too. In November and December I have stocked up on potatoes using coupons to last the winter for the two of us. This grocery is more expensive on regular items than the others in town, so I have no qualms about only buying the Hot Deals I need.
The grocery store in our town tends to be higher than other stores too. I only buy what is on sale there or if I absolutely can't find the item some where else. Those are good bargains.
ReplyDeleteThose really are great deals! Like you, I will happily get the deals at a store I don't always frequent. Especially now as things are going up so much in price lately.
