Have you ever asked yourself?
I remember seeing _________ in an ad, but I don’t remember which one. How do I find it without pouring through all the ads?
This website was brought to my attention this spring. It’s a great resource for answering the above question, or just “where is milk on sale this week?” Many times you’ll also be able to see the regular price, right below the sale price. You will have to sign up for a free membership to get access to the data. I use a different e-mail than my main e-mail for sites like this. This one e-mails me about once a week to let me know that my local deals are now online.
Happy Savings!
I love a good magazine deal. Magazines are fun to get in the mail. I like to check out a few from the library to see if I like the style of the magazine before I commit to a subscription. But once I’ve found something I like, it’s off to find a decent deal on home delivery.
One of my favorite places to look for a good deal is Amazon. Yes, Amazon.com sells magazine subscriptions. AND the magazines ship free, AND can help you reach that magical $25 needed per order for free super saver shipping. Now through Halloween Amazon is having a special on 148 different magazine titles. Subscribe and you’ll get a $5, $10, or $15 promotional certificate (think gift card good on your next purchase). Here’s the whole list (fair warning: some are not family friendly titles). And here’s a few of my favorite magazines:
I was at my local Aldi last week and noticed a great deal…..
Flour 5# bag $1.15
Sugar 5# bag $1.49
Brown sugar 2# bag $1.24
Powdered Sugar 2# bag $1.24
These are really good prices. I don’t know if they will go lower as we get into the baking season (last year they didn’t). So, if you need some of these staples, think about stopping by your local Aldi’s to see if they have similar prices.
no coupons
bring a quarter to borrow a cart (it will be returned when you return the cart)
limited hours – most not open 24/7
no bags – bring your own, or plan to buy some there
cash – cash is king at Aldi. No credit cards accepted. You can use your debit card though.
Did you know that handling cheese too much can cause it to mold faster? Chemicals on your hands react with the cheese and provide a perfect place for mold to grow. So, handle cheese as little as possible and keep it wrapped in a ziploc bag or airtight container.

Dairy products get marked down when it’s close to it’s expiration date. If you can use it up quickly, you can save 30-50%. In my experience, the following last longer than the date stamp:
milk: 5-7 days past date
sour cream: 2+ weeks past date
cottage cheese: 6+ days past date
Orange Juice: ? we drink it too fast to know
Shredded cheese: throw it in the freezer for 6+ months
Butter: 6-12 months in the freezer
Margarine Sticks: 6-12 months in freezer
