Keep a price book that lists the prices of regularly purchased items at a variety of grocery stores in your area. Refer to it when you see specials or ads to determine whether it's really a bargain or not.
I love my price book, especially when I am shopping in a new store, it helps me to tell the difference between a real bargain and "creative packaging".
