    Default What good prices are you finding?

    We all know groceries are going up. What deals are you finding?

    * Dole sliced pineapple large cans $1.00, plus .50 coupons off 2 = $.75 each
    * Got Sadie some dog bones on the reduced rack for 1/2 price (outer box was open but inner packaging was sealed)
    * Apples for .78 per pound
    * Whole wheat bread for $1.25
    * 2# loaf tillamook cheese $4.88

    It's harder to find good deals here. I keep looking for the deals and coupons that were around last fall, when I got free oatmeal, canned fruit for $0.49 a can, etc. Don't think we're going to have those deals this year.

    I think you are right. I am usually hitting 3 grocery stores for the loss leader items. It's crazy!

    Sunday I got whole fryers for .59 per lb. and boneless skinless chicken breasts for 1.27 per lb. Saturday I got 5 lb. flour for .79 each and sugar for 1.69 for a 4 lb. bag and large eggs for .99 dozen; canned tomatoes for .39 can. Fixed up for a little while. Read a yahoo article this morning on how much the prices are going to be up in 6 to 9 months. Scary.

    Great price on flour. Hoping to find some as we get closer to the holidays. I did find sugar last week for $1.50

    I posted that article... it's getting crazy...

    Mixed bunch of apples here are 97 cents a pound. Green cabbage is 39 cents a pound. Ground beef patties are $1.88 this week.

    I generally wait and buy meat when it is under $2 a pound and then stock up the freezer with enough for at least two weeks, if not more. I don't mind what it is as long as it isn't tongue or organs. Then I figure out what to make with it from veggies and staples that are on sale.

    I can usually get away with only paying $20 every two weeks for meat.
