This ties in with my post from yesterday. This was a comment that I made on a YouTube video about being priced out of buying things. Her point was that when an item reaches a certain price point, if people have a choice, they will just stop buying it. She's right. She is a homesteader and tries to be wise with her money.
You just have to shop smart. I've been getting a lot of 50% off meats and produce that are marked down at Whole Foods. Also, Giant has markdown racks in their stores. Freeze it, can it or eat it immediately. I made a crockpot full of applesauce for about $4 from marked down apples. All of them were good except for 1 that i threw out. I canned a few pints from it.
Also, sales, combined with coupons, rebate apps, and store reward, make for great deals. Yesterday, I bought 2 Garnier Fructis conditioners, 2 Whole Blends conditioners, 2 Monday conditioners, 2 Axe deodorant, 5 Bushs baked beans, 1 Swoon lemonade, 5 Scrubbing bubbles toilet tablets, 2 Starry 2 liter bottles, 5 Sunsip prebiotic soda, and 5 Soley fruit jerky. My net cost was .44. I would have made a profit, but the Bush's beans deal didn't work.
I dont menu plan and shop for ingredients. I look at my stockpile and then plan. If i only need 1 or 2 ingredients, then I might pay full price. Get what you can afford, and then get creative with it. We've found new favorite recipes because I've googled a few random ingredients to find a recipe.
We are not brand loyal, if its free or cheap, we'll try it.
