This is what is coming up for today as far as Thanksgiving deals. I will get the top price match items for the grocery stores up today and tomorrow. LATER today, I will have a printable list with all the staple items that you might typically buy for Thanksgiving up that you can print with coupons.
Since there is so much meat and produce involved, I have some suggestions. My prices are going to be different than yours. The printable list will be mostly ( about 90%) all the canned goods, making items, frozen and cold that you cook with, like, soups, marshmallows, French fried onions etc. Because the prices are going to be close to the same.
For your produce and meat do this:
- Grab all your store ads
- Make a list of what you need to buy ( celery, sweet potatoes, onions etc.)
- Lay all the ads out in front of you
- Compare prices at each store. I just looked at my ads today and all 3 major stores in my area have pretty much the same produce and meat listed. But I can see right away who has the cheapest sweet potatoes/yams (for example)… if you are in Houston, it looks like Randalls.
- Now, make your price match list.
This doubles as both my shopping list and my price match list. Now I just go shopping, grab everything I need in one place and get the lowest price.
When I get to the checkout, I first put all my non-price match items on first. Those get checked out and bagged. Then when I get to the price match items, I pull my list out so I can remember the prices. As the cashier is about to ring it up I just simply say, ” I would like to price match those sweet potatoes to Randalls for 6lbs for $1, or $.17 a pound.” Then the next item I say, ” I want to price match that to Kroger for $3.99 each” and so on. It is really easy!
If I can get Tiff to film it later today, I will do a video for you, and see if we can’t get permission to film checking out in the store. Just to show you how easy it is. SAVE SOME MONEY on food this Thanksgiving, try price matching!!! Come back and tell me if you tried it for the first time, O.K.?
** How to price match your meat will be tomorrow!
