What to buy now

January 22, 2011 by Lisa · Leave a Comment

January is New Year’s Resolution month and football month. Any products related to those two things are on sale this month. Look for deals and stock up!

New Year’s Resolutions-think health, fitness, dieting, supplements, snack/meal replacement items, vitamins, fitness waters & nutritional drinks, etc.

Football-ha, the opposite of what I listed above! Chips, snacks, soda, anything that is used to make dips (salsa, cheese, cream cheese, refried beans, anything that is used to make ‘football food’ like chili, sloppy joes, bbq, appetizers, crackers, etc.

For the big game, Pepsi and Coke are going to try to outdo each other, trying to get you to purchase their product. If you drink soda, now is the time to get it.

What year was Acme Markets founded?

January 22, 2011 by Lisa · Leave a Comment

And more importantly, why should you care? Today at Acme they were celebrating their 120th anniversary. And over the loudspeaker the CS person said “We’re celebrating our 120th anniversary today, the first person that comes up here and tells me what year Acme was founded wins a $10 gift card.”

I had just entered the store and was in dairy, near the CS desk. Did the math on my cell phone, and won $10.

They did similar questions twice more while I was there, so if you go, be listening. And they had contests for kids and freebie snacks all over the place.

Check the Kraft/Nabisco display, there are coupon booklets attached. And check the Goldfish for peelies.

Only 42% savings on my weekly trip this week–I always aim for 50%. But still under my budget.

If you prefer to go in to the store, sign up for an email notification on their website and receive a 25% off any one item coupon, which means you’ll only pay $11.24.

I will add that these are the exact boots I purchased for my 4 year old just a few weeks ago, and they are great quality.
