Money Saving Habits

Each week I share my grocery list with you.   Below are the items I see in the ads that are a good deal.

With the start of school, that means the Labor Day is just around the corner. That’s a perfect time for grocery stores to have a sale on grilling items. If you like to grill beyond Labor Day, pick up a few essentials for your pantry. They will probably be cheaper now than in the months ahead.

Happy Savings!

FYI…the 5# bag of flour that I listed in my weekly grocery deals list is actually NOT the 5# bag.  The $1 sale is for the 2 pound bags.  Sorry!  I didn’t notice the error until I went to stock up on them tonight.  The 5# bags are still a good deal at $1.35/bag.

Happy Savings and I’ll see you next week.
