I have been a coupon clipper for some time now, but not a very deligent one. I clip here and there and let most coupons expire before getting around to redeeming them. As the "pain at the pump" increased with each passing day this summer I got much better at using my coupons. I also started to pay close attention to the store circulars I would get in the mail each week.
I always assumed that Frey Meyer was the least expensive grocery store in our area. Maybe because the buidling is totally ghetto and the shelves are ususally ransacked I perceived it as value shopping. Much to my pleasant surprise I discovered the Safeway a mile up the street beats FM prices the majority of the time. This Safeway is only a few years old and is really posh for a grocery store. Hardwood floors, nice lighting, beautfully stacked produce, clean floors etc. They beat FM customer service 100% of the time. I am usually asked about every 5 minutes at Safeway if I need help finding something. Most of the time I don't, but it seems that taco seasoning always eludes me, so I appreciate their effort.
Most importantly, as the blog implies, it helps me stay frugal. I LOVE their weekely circular, they offer 6 to 8 coupon items for next to nothing, the milk is the cheapest anywhere when you buy two gallons and at least once a month the offer BOGO on lean ground turkey. What could be more exciting than that?
