Costco's Where Its At

In an effort to put away all the great stuff I picked up this week at the case lot sales, I got a sudden motivation to get a little more organized. (I know, who would have thought, huh?) So I updated my own personal spreadsheet I keep on Costco's prices. I'm a bit crazy, I know, but I think it helps to have a reference. I've got enough useless information in my brain without a bunch of numbers and brand names floating around in there too. Plus, I can break it down into normal product sizes instead of the ounces like they normally put on their tags. I mean, really! Who shops by the ounce?

So besides the normal monthly coupons Costco sends out, there are some other great "all the time" deals I thought you might be interested to know about. I posted a few of them on the blog just under the monthly Costco coupon deals. If you have more that you would like to add, just leave a comment and I'll check it out and add it to my personal spreadsheet.

Special Alert!

I stopped into Ridley's and Macey's today and found some good news and some bad news. First of all, the Progresso soups that are on sale are only the ones without meat (you know, tomato, garden vegetable, ministrone, and everyone's favorite, split pea). So I was pretty disappointed about that because I was looking at some pretty good lunches for the coming fall.

However, then I slipped over to Macey's and found out there are quite a few deals that were not advertized. Some stuff is on a three day sale, and I'm not sure which day it started. I got 13oz. boxes of Cheez Its for $.79! And Don Julio tortillas for $.69! Also, Langer's Apple Juice 64oz. for $.99 but you have to buy three! (No problem the way my clan goes through it.) There are some other great deals too but you'll have to check it out. I wasn't prepared to take notes. And I don't know if it was only at the Orem store, so you may want to give the store a call. Good luck!

Its one of those mix or match and get $4.00 off. These stores include Macey's, Fresh Market, Ridley's, and BuyLow, but it looks like Ridley's has the lowest prices with Macey's coming in second place. Also, Smith's is having a great caselot sale.
