I am so excited but I almost missed it. Food Lion, our local grocery store, is having my favorite sale of the year. The quarter back sale! Basically for every “store brand” item you buy you receive a quarter back for your next order\/ trip. \u00a0 I usually watch for this sale and plan ahead making sure I stock up on things like ketchup and mustard.\u00a0 Opps missed that whole sale announcement.\u00a0 I went to the store last night to purchase a few groceries needed to make baked ziti.\u00a0 As I am walking around the store, I see the sale sign and know I need to take advantage of it. I quickly\u00a0 start thing and start exchanging items in my cart for store brands in addition to trying to find the best deals. \u00a0\u00a0 I grabbed muffin mix, pasta mix, rice mixes and some breakfast items that we always need!\u00a0 Matt was excited to see hot sauce (6 bottles). \u00a0 I also found some items on clearance that increased my total but overall I am so excited. My overall goal was to purchase the needed items with “quarter back”,<\/p>\n
By the numbers:
\nOriginal items on the list \u00a0 $25.45
\nSummer clearance Items (skewers)\u00a0 $ 2.79
\nTotal Spent\u00a0 $54.90
\nTotal Saved $30.18
\nSaving Percentage is 54.97%<\/p>\n
Food Lion is the only local grocery store and to save 55% on store brand items is AWESOME!<\/p>\n
We are using the cash method for groceries this month which makes it a bit more difficulty for me to make another trip because I want to keep my cash. I will likely wait and monitor sale and make only one trip a week for the rest of the month!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
