I was very surprised to find it is cheaper per oz at Target compared to Family Dollar(a discount store)! It really pays to compare prices!

Mommytrap, there are a lot higher prices at Family Dollar than at most stores I am finding. I can't give you the hard facts since I am not looking at the price tags atm, but it really amazes me that it boasts low prices. The sales do tend to be great once they have them though, and then it is the clothing I really look at. The main places I shop at are Aldi and Walmart. I really hate Walmart though because of various reasons so I try to make Aldi my main and first stop. Target can have some good sales but on rare occasions do I find prices lower than where I shop. I use the cheap Suave deodorant and found a deal at Dollar Genral when they were clearancing out the line I bought. I snatched those suckers up and now I have at least a year's supply of pit juice! I bought 9.2 oz all together at .32 an ounce

phoenix - MommyTrap started this thread back in Feb of 2009 so pricing has definitely changed since then.

I tried to keep a price book but like others in this thread - the fluctuating sizes made it more effort to keep a price book then I thought necessary. I have an idea of what a 'good price' is to me for specific and regular items that we buy so we tend to go with that. I ball park most things and tend to buy when there's sales and I love scouring the clearance section

It is really hard to get a price book with the many areas we come from and yes it is hard to keep one anyways! HEHE Thanks for pointing it out that this was from 2009

OMG LOL

What an excellent idea! I've never heard of a price book before but can see the benefits and want to start one. I'm constantly comparing prices before I shop, especially for craft supplies. The Internet is a great help for that. I can remember when my aunt who was a very frugal shopper would to wait each week for store sales papers to be mailed to her or included in the evening newspaper before she made her shopping lists. Being able to research online makes it so much easier!
