Ok, I went to the grocery store, the one with the really good sales and usually has good prices. I knew they had sugar and flour on sale, but not how much. I brought a handfull of coupons. I only wanted to stock up on a few items, since I don't have much money.
I ended up saving $24, by buying sale items and using coupons. I paid $34. And I managed to get the good quality butter at less than the cheap generic stuff, which was also on sale.
Fortunately I had 4 coupons for that brand of butter and got 4 packages.
Does anyone know if butter freezes well? Because if I can get myself to only shop for stuff that is on a good sale with coupons, I could definitely save us some money. I haven't seen a store around here that does double coupons. I used to really make a killing, when the stores had double coupons.
. Make sure you wrap it in something though, or it tends to start to taste *off*. I buy 4-5 lbs. of butter when I go to Trader Joe - an hour's drive away, so not so often - and put it freezer ziplocks. Since learning to keep it isolated (in the ziplocks) I haven't had any problem keeping it for months at a time. You could also wrap in aluminum foil.
Their only advertised chicken feed sale is 50 cents off.
