Grocery Deals 10/19-10/25

It's Wednesday and time for the grocery deals.  There are only a few deals this week.  October is generally a slow deal month and then in November the baking sales hit.  That is when I stock up sugar, flour, chocolate chips, etc.  So maybe save your grocery money this month for the better deals next month.

These are the deals I feel are stock up prices (better than the big box and membership stores) and you should buy what YOUR family needs and buy as many as your BUDGET allows!  I only list Smiths and The Sunflower Market because they are the stores in my area.

{I use the Grocery Smarts lists to find all my deals.  You can see them all if you click HERE}

** Remember we are shopping for items in our 3-month supply along with the longer-term items listed in our monthly goals. This month our long-term focus will be CASE LOT SALES (which are over now,if you missed them check for great shopping deals to get your 3-month items)!

How to Get A 3- Month Supply   

*Decide on a monthly food storage budget!  Knowing you have that money set aside will eliminate the excuse of having no money for food storage!

1.  Collect RECIPES that include the foods your family usually eats, comfort foods!
2.  Make an INGREDIENT list from the recipes.
3.  Buy those INGREDIENTS when they are on SALE! (and buy as many as your budget allows)
4.  ROTATE! Use your storage in your daily meals!
5.  Include NON-FOOD items as well:  batteries, all toiletries, baby supplies, sanitation supplies, paper goods,cleaning supplies, clothing, etc.

**I am going to start adding some coupon deals to the lists.  They will be in red so you know to only stock up on that item if you are using coupons.  SS=SMART SOURCE INSERT, RP=RED PLUM INSERT.  The inserts come in the Sunday paper and the weekly grocery ads. Please contact me for further info. on using coupons.**
