Grocery Sales Week of June 7, 2010

You're in luck this week.....I've got my grocery list for you from all the SW Ohio stores at once.  I'll be checking out Cub Foods and Marsh ads online and putting up their lists up online (www.moneysavinghabits.com) later today.

A quick reminder about my list.  On my list are items that I think are a good deal -- ONLY if you use an available coupon.  These items are denoted with a +c*.  A good example this week is from Meijer:

&& Betty Crocker warm delights $1 +c*
These little single serving microwave brownie and cakes are on sale for $1.  At that price I don't think it's a good deal.  But when you pair it with a $0.50 or $0.75 coupon that's available, you can get them for free.  One caveat I've learned is that Meijer now only doubles two like coupons.  So, if you've been saving warm delights coupons for a deal like this, only the first two will be doubled.  Don't like these warm delights or don't need the temptation at home?  Why not pick up one for free (or nearly free) and donate it to your local food pantry.  I think someone struggling financially would like a little sweet thing.

And while we're talking about food pantries, I'd like to strongly encourage you to donate throughout the year to a food pantry.  During the summer, families still have needs, but most pantries don't get as many donations.   We use coupons and sales to get good food throughout the year to donate.  My kids like to shop with me when they get to pick out some kid friendly flavors.  I've seen them in the store debating on which variety to buy and choosing the one they see most kids eating at lunch.  Last week I picked up some cleaning supplies for the food pantry and the kid in tow picked out the bottle with the most product in it.  She wanted to make every penny count.  They really are thinking of others.  In case you're wondering, we support Reach Out Lakota. 

Now onto the list....
