Know Mark-Down Dates & Save on Groceries

Submitted by: Jeepinls 06/25/2009 3:38 PM

Many grocers have a set time for marking down items that are close to sell by dates. This info is especially handy for stocking up on your meat items for 1/2 price or lower. Combine the savings with coupons and get an item for about 2/3 off.

Great tip!

I wonder if someone knows where to find coupons for meat? I eat unprocessed foods, so it's difficult to find coupons for fresh meat, fresh veggies and dried beans.

I'd appreciate any suggestions! Thanks.

If you use your customer card at Kroger regularly, they will send coupons for things you buy often. I have received coupons for free eggs, $ off on meat purchases, and coupons for veggies and other items.
