   I try to buy health/beauty/ dry foods on sale with coupons. Get samples for deodorants sent to me when i can. That way it balances out those perisable items that i cant always get on sale. I do try to shop for those at kroger (they send me loyality coupons that help with those things) stock up on managers specials and freeze them( i have a small freezer so nothing gets to old)

  This list makes me feel so much better! I try to just shop the “big sale” products from my grocery store circular and adjust my weeks menus around it- but we’re in Boston metro area and prices are high for everything. I know I see a difference in our budget, but I always feel guilty that I can be doing better when I see the insanely cheap prices for less urban areas. When I see this, I realize I am still getting some good deals!

   We live in New York so all our prices are at least a dollar more. We get a good deal on vegetables and fruits from the green carts though.

   This is awesome! I live in canada but live close to the border so I shop both canada and US sales, and I’ve always kept a little list of best possible prices cause it gets so confusing sometimes.

  Since you shop both Canadian & US sales, I wonder if you ever find Canadian prices cheaper on anything. I have family in Canada, and am always shocked at the high prices. It seems to me that absolutely everything is higher there.

  Agree. Collin what states were used for this list?
  It’s a sad day when I buy anything not on sale or close-out, but your list wants me to leave this state.

   Wow this is truly an eye opener! For some items on the list, my “stock up price” is even higher than the average price on the list… For me its just so hard to get the perishable items on sale. This is probably my biggest concern at the moment.

    Thank you so much for the list! I was making a grocery price list a few days ago because I’ll be moving to Hawaii in a few months and I want to know the difference of prices. I’m dreading to do any shopping there because I heard it’s super expensive.

  A friend of mine just came back from Hawaii and she said that a carton of eggs was almost $5.00 . yikes!!!!! hope you find some good deals there. I think everything is higher there.

  It is super expensive here in Hawaii use lots of coupons when you can and get a costco or sams club card. costco milk is around $ 5.00 anywhere else is most of the time 6 or 7 dollars. get all the sales flyers to see where you can get the best deals on sale.

    What would be a good price point for the bigger bottles of laundry detergent (96ish loads) or the dishwasher tablets? I’m kind of new to the coupon ing thing and am not picky about brands!

  Ashley57 March 4, 2015 at 2:34 pm MST

  My laundry detergent stock up price is 3 cents per load, although I normally tend to get enough for free through various promotions. I also try to get dishwasher detergent for free only through rebates and such. I would look into switching away from the tablets, they are much pricier that the powder or liquid.

  Where do you find the promotions and rebates to get enough free laundry and dishwasher detergent? I don’t see too many promos or rebates for these items.

  Erika March 4, 2015 at 4:32 pm MST

  Thanks. Yeah we use liquid now but it’s causing buildup on the inside of the dishwasher. The manual suggests using the tablets, so I thought I’d give it a shot.

  For dishwasher: look at finish ‘s website, they have a few money back rebates if you aren’t satisfied, fill out form with why.

  Cascade had a try free rebate for their pacs, but ended last year.

  Target Cartwheel usually has 5% off their brand of dishwasher products.

  Laundry, sales and coupons can lead to almost and/or free.

    I learn to know when they mark meat down at Kroger and Giant Eagle. Many times I can get Natural Organic Chicken or Even Bison for 50% off or more. And yoh can freeze it! We have been doing this for over a year and never had a bad piece of meat. I cant go back to regular chicken anymore. It has a bleach smell I cant stand. Also Giant Eagle and IGA have a 5 for $19.99. You pick five $5 meat items and they mark it down to $19.99.

    Thanks, this list is a great resource!! I do almost all of my shopping at Aldi. This list makes me happy because it shows me I’m paying the best price for most of my staple items. That said, it also shows me what sale prices are worth chasing at the “regular” grocery store. Deal shopping just got even better!! 😊

    Unfortunately the only time I really save on meat is when they mark them down but I do find that you can save by buying family packs and freezing it in portions.

  Jumbo packs depend on the size. 36 for newborn size but like 28 for size 4. If you’re paying less than .$18/diaper I say it’s a good deal, but stock up at like $.10 or $.11 per diaper.

    I recently created a UNIT (per oz, lb, tablet or each) price point of my usual stock items. I INCLUDE TAX in the unit price because some stores discount their STORE coupons before tax. For example, no tax applied to Target cartwheel discount, Target store coupons, 5% Red Card, even 5c bag credit, however manufacturer’s coupon and any gift cards earned from the purchase are taxed. Costco, on the other hand, applies tax first then deducts the instant rebate or Costco coupon. Maybe just a slight difference, but when I stock up, I like to know a solid buy price. Of course, I have to do a quick math to take out the tax from the unit price point list, but that’s easy. For example, our tax is 4.5% so I multiply the unit price by .955, then multiply by the number of units to get the package price.

    Newbies to coupons you will learn what a good price is in your area after you coupon for a few months. For example in my area my egg stock-up price is .99 lower than the list, but 1.00 for deodorant higher than the list.

    I do use the list for items I don’t buy much or as a reference point when I am unsure of the price.

    I used to feel bad that I couldn’t get stuff as cheap or free, but the stores in my area are limited, they don’t have double coupons and have lots of restrictions. I can’t change that, I just have to do the best I can and feel good about it. Don’t be so hard on yourselves. Any little bit helps!
