Making the most of a basket coupon,

Occasionally you will find a grocery store offering a basket coupon,   Basket coupons are when a coupon will say save 10.00 off you order of 50.00 or more.   Forget the more part.   Ten dollars off of fifty is 20 percent off your basket.   The more you spend, the less percentage you are going to get.   If the store is already 25 or more percent higher than other stores, twenty percent isn’t a bargain.  Unless. They are also having a good sale.  The trick, as usual is to know your prices.
You can make a good deal on these coupons, but planning your trip is essential.   You could wind up paying more than if you just went to a different store.

Going to two stores a week, researching what stores on your area have the best prices, is key to getting the most food for your dollar.

You don’t pick a grocery store because the clerks are the most friendly, or because they never have a line,  think about it, of they never have a line, they probably aren’t real popular and therefore, probably have higher prices.   Going to the grocery store shouldn’t be your social life! Lol

I would pick a store that was clean, or , rather, not pick a store that was dirty.

There can be as much as a two dollar per item spread on prices of the exact same thing.  Two dollars is huge.

It’s not as much what you buy as it is when and where you buy it.

No food is going to do your family any good if you are feeding it to the garbage disposal.

My other used to say that some people could have a bargain get up and bite them in the butt and they wouldn’t see it...don’t be that person.
