Did this in two separate transactions

One of our fellow bloggers/friends Ashley has brought it to my attention that there is a discount market here in our local area called lagniappe (which means a little something extra in cajun french).  Anyway it apparently contains dented canned goods and discounted meat/poultry/ and fish.  Here is their website  http://www.lagniappediscountstore.com/Food_Market.html

I will check them out this afternoon.  Stay tuned for more details and maybe some pictures of the store too!!

The website says they close at 2 but I called and they close at 5pm.  So…. I will check it out today!

I was grocery shopping yesterday, at 3pm, I passed the Whole Cooked Chicken so I decided to check them out.  All of the chicken had been marked with a sticker that had the time it was cooked.  It had been a couple of hours, so I kindly asked the employee, “when do you mark down the cooked chicken?”.  He then replied “We can mark them down now if you have a minute.”  So… I recieved one whole cooked chicken for $2.99 !!  I fed my family chicken and rice last night,  I had a chicken tortilla wrap for lunch at work, and I just made a mexican casserole for dinner tonight.   Thats 3 meals for $2.99 !!

So just remember it doesn’t hurt to ask.  Here are eight other moneysaving tips:

1. Stockpile: While buying an armful of peanut butter at once is unnecessary, if your favorite brand is on sale now then it’s better to buy a jar now then one at full price in two weeks.
2. Explore the store: Take time to compare prices around the store for the items on your list. For example, if you’re in the market for cheese then check out the cheese counter, the deli and the dairy case.
3. Try store brands: Did you know that most store-branded goods are produced by the same manufacturers that make the name-brand items? For example, Birds’ Eye frozen veggies also makes store-brand versions, but a 14-ounce package of the store-brand broccoli is 44 percent cheaper than the brand name.
4. Buy must-go foods: Ask the supermarket staff when they mark down items that are approaching their sell-by date or have become less attractive, like bruised apples or crushed bread.
5. Shop on Sundays: Consumers who combined their coupons from the Sunday newspaper and the weekly sales circular reported saving an average $678 annually.
6. Think outside the supermarket: Find bargains at drugstores and pharmacies (for milk and meds); Superstores (for snacks, cereals, and cleaning supplies); Online (often there’s free shipping on bulk items); Warehouse clubs (for alcohol, prescription medications, and pantry staples), Discount grocers (for anything); Surplus stores (for dry goods.)
7. Check unit prices: Buying the bigger size isn’t always the best deal. (SAM’S)
8. Become a coupon connoisseur: Join your supermarket’s loyalty club because many offer bonus sales and check online coupon sites.   Go to Kroger.com and link your card to your email and home address.  They send out in store coupons often!!
