I love it when my readers (aka YOU!) share your awesome deals, finds, steals, and tips with me. So much so, that I want to start sharing them with the world more often! Someday (soon, hopefully) I hope to implement an actual reader brag board where you can boast about the great things you find, and the awesome money you save. Until then, keep sending me your successes and I'll pick a few here and there to share in what I will now affectionately call “Flaunt it Friday”!
Today I'm flaunting Dania Allen's amazing grocery price-matching success. To learn how I price-match and grocery shop, click HERE. I'll let her take it from here:
- 6 boxes of wheat pasta – 49 cents a piece (smiths) – making your lasagna recipe, doubling it and freezing!
- 12 bottles of BBQ sauce – 49 cents a piece (smiths) – for freezer meals, shelf life good up to a year
- 5- 2 lb bags of carrots – 69 cents a piece (lolo's) – chopping and freezing to use later
- Jumbo onions – 58 cents per pound (lolo's) – I got 9lbs, planning on chopping and freezing to use later
- Boneless skinless chicken breasts – $1.67 per pound (lolo's) – I got 10lbs, planning on making freezer meals
- Pineapple – 48 cents per pound (lolo's) – I got 11 lbs, chopping and freezing for breakfast smoothies
- I also got 2 packages of great value freezer bags (might return these if I can find better price elsewhere)
Total spent: $47
Unfortunately, I didn't take any pictures before I froze the chicken, and diced and froze 3 bags of carrots. So, the overall effect of how much I got might be slightly affected, but you can still see I got a ton of stuff. I got really ambitious last night, lol.
