Went shopping Thr. evening & the Labor Day sales are not good. I did get Ball Park Franks for $ 1.00 at Kroger, the other store had them on sale2 for $5.00. Freshlike canned vegs. were 1/2 off (not all, just select ones) & I bought some carrots & French cut green beans (exp. date 2014), Kroger also had 16 oz. cottage cheese & sour cream on sale for $1.00 (Oct 5 date).The other store that puts the Angus gr. chuck on sale for the holidays, had it on sale, BUT at 29 cents a # more, I noticed that the store brand sugar was 30 cents more & a friend told me that Aldies sugar was 40 cents more than 2 weeks ago when she bought some. I was going to buy some store brand microwave popcorn that was on sale (the 3 count), but I found 4 boxes of their 6 count that was priced cheaper (exp date of May 2013) so I bought them. A lot of items (that I know the reg. prices of ) had reg. prices that were higher than last Fri. when I shopped.
I am thankful we are empty nesters, I do not know how we would manage with school age kids to feed.

GRANA here
;Grocery prices are still *O*B*C*E*N*E*ly high & showing NO SIGN OF IMPROVEMENT
Curious snoop that I am,I ceckout other people's carts to se wwhat & how they arefeedig their families in these dificutties;UsuallyI see on sale items, lower cost cuts of meat & a few marked own prodce& bakery items.Once in awhile I see cigarettes beer ( most likely people coming pfrom Massechusettes to save buy shopping in our no tax stores.
This last shopping da,I saw one cart filled w/ juice drink boxes; asst. chips & other nutrition lacking snack items inJUMBO bags, ; no protein sources no fruits or veggies; & to my best guess well over $100 worh of non-nutritive garbage. Hubby & i BOUGHT LOTS OF IMPULSE ITEMS, TOO: 30 BOTTLES OF "LITE" beer($9.99; 2- 2litre bottles of soda( gingerale & root beer); lemonade& icedtea mixes; 3 cans ofcat food; chex mix; crispy fish filets, hot dogs , sliced low carb bread, = of 30 eggs( cholesterol & fat free) cheese slices( fat free); a # of hubby's bologna ; several cans of soup( chicken noodle & tomato, chicken broth), Shopping from the flyer/ad; marked down racks& using coupons, we spent $69; way vov our r budget but we've got ou r LABOR DAY must haves & food for thee next few weekswhich when combined w/ instock pantry & ezer items, will become pretty good nutritous meals
This woman was shopping mid -day on aWednesday, not seeming to be working & spent 2x .$$$$$$$$$$$$ what we spent & probably wil get take-out to feed the family all week; 'cuz what she bought wil not feed her family sufficiently & will leave them hungry for the rest of the day,even after eating

Lately the sale prices are higher than what the everyday price used to be. Meat is especially high, as is anything made with flour or sugar. I can't believe how much a 4 pound bag of sugar costs now, ridiculous. Thankfully I have a freezer full of meat and am mostly just buying fresh, in-season fruits and veggies. Unfortunately the season is quickly coming to an end and I'm sure the prices will jump. Freezing peppers and tomatoes so I have them on hand when that happens.

This week a 4 pound bag of sugar was on "sale" for $1.88. I remember not too long ago sale was 99¢. I saved $35 according to my grocery receipt by getting sale items and using coupons. I spent $42. Almost a 50% saving. I love getting sale items when I have coupons for those items.
I find that most coupons in the Sunday paper are for stuff I don't use. I probably only cut out 3 or 4.

Prices are too high here and my bill for the months has gone up $100 from what I used to pay for a month and that is useing store brands instead of what I use to buy.
