Look Up, Look Down, Look All Around

February 9th, 2009

When I go shopping I find myself comparing everything. I compare price to price, size of packages, I do all this to find the best deal for my grocery dollars. Another way that I have saved is to shop at different areas in the store, for the same product only at a better deal. Here are a few examples…

I needed a new shower poof, so I checked by the body wash first. I found them for $.97, which sounded like a pretty good deal, until I spotted shower poofs by the travel sized items. This time it was the same poof only double packaged 2/ $.97! I picked up the two pack, and saved a little along the way.

Another way I saved recently was on a travel sized contact solution. I was shopping at Walgreens and asked where the travel sized items were. I found the display and I was about to pick up the travel sized Contact Solution for about $3.00, when I thought I should check out the back of the store where the regular sized Contact Solution was, and hope for a better deal. I found discounted 3 oz Contact Solution with a Contact Case for just $.87, perfect for travel, and a great price too.

So next time you are out shopping don’t forget to look up, look down, and shop all around the store for great deals.

    Thanks Marva! I’m trying hard to save those precious grocery dollars. It takes a bit longer at the store, but when you find a good deal, it is so worth it :)

    Thanks Nana! I love finding a good deal, but it sometimes takes a bit of work. Luckily the kiddos love to go and shop too, so they are pretty good about Mommy bargain hunting :)

    Target is the same way! I’ve found discounted Pull Ups for kids on the end caps of health and beauty aisles! Way to go on your travel size savings!

    Thanks Heather! You can’t beat Target’s deals :) I was happy with the travel sized savings, all those tiny items can add up fast.

    Sometimes I find bigger size bottles at the same price as the normal size. I always compare larger bulk type items to see if I am getting a better deal. I have found capn crunch is cheaper to buy here in the small box.

    Thanks Stacey! Great tip, and great savings too. I like to bulk shop when the price is right. We go through a ton of cereal in our house, and finding a good price is getting harder to do, maybe I can get my kids to make the switch to Capn’ Crunch.
