Save When You Stock UP

Total spent $30.54
(11 lbs pasta, 30 lbs flour, 32 lbs sugar)

     Everytime we find a sale Barry and I stock up.  We shop the 1st of the month for our monthly groceries and then when we find sales during the month we head to the stores for those rock bottom prices.

     Today's shopping trip yielded ELEVEN POUNDS of pasta (elbow macaroni and pennete) for .66 a pound.  My favorite store Winco's cost is .96 a pound in the bulk isle.  

     We also got THIRTY POUNDS OF Springfield Flour for just under .30 a pound - Winco's flour in the bulk isle is .39 a pound, but if you buy 50 lbs it is .37 a pound - still thats a savings of .07 to .10 a pound.  

     And, THIRTY TWO pounds of C & H Sugar was only .45 a pound - Winco was .61 a pound in the bulk isle. 

     We only needed 12 cans of corn @ .39 a can because after doing inventory this morning we discovered we had already met our quota for the year on corn, but another 12 cans at that price wasn't going to hurt us.

     Dating and rotating them will take the most time, but what-the-hey, we couldn't have done better!!

     Desi called today and said Ralphs is having a special on Swanson Chicken Broth for .49 a can.  That's a really good deal - will have to add to my supply.

Wherever you go, whatever you do, always have your eyes open for discounts and sales.  And then, stock up.  

You will be glad you did :)
