Best Price Deals 9/29

Here are the price comparisons from the different grocery stores this week. It is  a good way to see which store you want to be shopping at. Again…. it is Randalls. Who would have guessed that they are becoming the place to shop?! Hopefully no one needs cereal this week, do you know not Kroger OR Randalls has ANY advertised in their ad??!!

A few tips to make your shopping list:

• Plan your entire week out
• Start with your protein portion of your meal first, finding the lowest prices on those items will help reduce your bill
• Plan possibly using your leftovers in another meal, for example, if I make chicken and they don’t eat it all, I can shred what is left to put in soup the next night.
• Plan your sides as well. Find coupons for the side dishes, snacks, breakfast and lunch item.
