Why no price point for beef ?
Beef prices fluctuate so much, I don’t want to add a price point. Plus, different cuts of beef have different price points.
Where do you shop for produce?
Thanks
Where do you get your produce? Only at the grocery store or is there a better place?
I get produce at the grocery store as well as a produce store in my area. If you use a lot of produce, I would suggest buy a half or whole CSA share. If you do a search on “Community Supported Agriculture” you’ll be able to find a local farm that does this in your area. This is a fantastic way to get lots of produce each week with very little money.
Thank you for the suggestion.
Could you suggest a bread outlet in the airport area? The link on this page won’t work for me.
What is the “airport area”?
East Granby Windsor Locks area
The closest store is actually the Cromwell one.
Here’s an updated link for all the bread outlets: http://www.bimbobakeriesusa.com/our_brands/outlet_stores.html
Thank you
i find your stocklist to be more reasonable and logical for the average couponer who doesnt have 60 hours a week to look for deal
Thanks!
Hi, Do you have any good tips or best prices on ink cartridges for printers? They can be so expensive and we go through so many with the beginning of the school season.
Thank you,
With ink cartridges, you want to look at refilling rather than buying. Walgreen’s, Price Chopper and other stores will refill your cartridges at a fraction of the cost.
Get a black & white laser printer for coupon printing …costs a fraction to print each page, compared to an inkjet.
