How Much Do I Pay?

These kinds of lists usually help me:

likemerchantships says that she buys when:

• chicken quarters hit .29/lb
• whole chickens .69/lb **Bloom has had these at .49/lb on more than one occasion
• bone-in chicken brests .99/lb
• boneless, skinless chicken breasts are $1.69/lb or less
• lean ground beef is .99/lb
• turkey breasts are .99/lb
• steaks are $2/lb
• sausage is .99/lb
• fresh shrimp is $5/lb
• salmon is $3/lb
• canned wild salmon is $1/14oz.
• canned tuna is .35/can

I couldn't tell you any better than this. Here is the catch. A lot of these prices are rare, so when you find them, stock up. Fill your freezer or borrow some room in a friends deep freeze.

Now for random other things that I have found;

I try not to pay more than...

• Cereal--$1 or less
• Canned veggies--.35-.25 cents
• Bag Salad--$1.50-.96
• Coke--4/$10
• Deodorant (no brand preference)--free-$1
• toothbrushes--free
• toothpaste--free
• shampoo--$1-free
• spaghetti sauce (premade)--$1--less
• pasta--.26-.50
• little debbies--.69
• pringles--.76
• apples--.99/lb
• grapes--.99/lb
• liquid fabric softener (i prefer gain)--$3-3.50
• liquid detergent--$2-$2.50
• dishwasher detergent--$1-$1.50
• diapers--176/$26 (Sams!)
• spiral sliced ham--1.49/lb
• bread (loaf)--.59-.79
• boxed potatoes/rice--.40-.69
• milk--$2.25-2.50
• bottled water--3.33-$4/24 pk.
• cake mix--.20-.63
• brownie mix--.25--.63
• yogurt--.33/cup
• pain reliever 1.99/small bottle
• frozen pizza--$1.00-$1.50 medium/large
• frozen waffles--$1.00/10 count
• Toilet Paper (cottonelle) $3.50/12
  

Who knows what else. I think I'll keep this list going and try to revise and update it as I can. There are some things on our list that you would never buy, but some are for lunch making and taking, and others are for fast breakfasts so as to avoid a husband who would rather sleep late and eat fast food out.

Also note!!! this link if you have an ALDI near you, this blogger made a price list of everything in her ALDI, so before you go out and shop the deals, check her list to make sure it is a better deal.
