$484.20 Worth of Groceries for $231.30! - Caselot Shopping March 2018
Case-lot is just wrapping up here in Utah. Did you take advantage of the deals?
We've been planning our meals based on using up our food storage and not buying as much. Ben is applying to grad schools and if he gets accepted it will mean a cross country move for us. I don't want to move our large food storage with us so it's prudent to eat it up. Extra prudent as we're trying to pay off our non-mortgage debt.
We're still waiting to hear from one school so we may be moving and wanting to eat up food storage, or we may be staying and will want to stock our food storage for the lowest prices. This trip I focused on stocking up on the things we'll use in the next 6 months, when case-lot sales will roll around again.
I got all this from three different stores; Smith's, Kent's, and Lee's. The retail price for everything? $484.20. I got all this for $231.30!!! That's a savings of 52%!!!
After last time's deal stock up grocery trip and this case-lot trip, we will be able to drastically cut the grocery budget going forward. This means more money for our debt snowball! I'll be focusing on using what we have and will only be purchasing milk, fresh produce, and any random grocery items we may need or run out of.
Let's break this trip down!
Smiths
At Smith's I did a Clicklist order, as well as, went inside the store. Smith's provides digital coupons that are only available for Clicklist ordering. Another awesome feature of Clicklist is when the store is out of stock, they'll substitute with a larger item of the same thing. I actually got BIG bottles of shampoo and body wash when I only ordered the smaller ones, and I got it for the original-small-bottle price!
