Cheap Grocery Store Finds

AFter the holiday season, our local stores usually mark down a ton of holiday merchandise. This includes stuff like Hershey Kisses and candy bars in Christmas colored foils, baking supplies like decorator sprinkles and cookie mixes, staples for many holiday recipes like canned pumpkin, french fried onion pieces, and Stove Top stuffing.

DO NOT FORGET TO USE YOUR COUPONS ON THESE ITEMS!

When the items are 50-75% off, and you use a good coupon (which your store may double), you are often being PAID to get the items! I personally do not care what color the foil on the candy is, it is still GOOD!

So take a little extra time and scout out the deals.  Our area Publix usually has the items like this on a turn around shelf display near the checkouts.Our Kroger stores pile things into buggies and put them up front in the health and beauty section or the natural foods section (which is very out of the way and takes some looking to find) but it is worth it to dig through and find some good sales. Who knows what you may be paid to take home!?!?!?
