Check The Clearance Section
When shopping for things like clothes almost everyone runs directly to the clearance racks as soon as they start shopping, before even heading to the other parts of the store. Did you know that most grocery stores have a clearance section for groceries?
Grocery store clearance sections are usually located in random hidden parts of the store such as in corners near the bathrooms. If you have a hard time finding it just ask someone at the store if they have a clearance section and if so where it is located.
I recently got cat bowls that retailed for $14 each originally for $2 in Sweetbay’s clearance section. I have also found artichoke hearts for sixty cents a jar in the grocery clearance section of Wal-Mart.
Grocery clearance sections can also be home to day old bread and pastry’s marked way down. This is especially great if you are buying bread to make recipes such as french toast that always taste better with older bread.
So clearance shopping can be key to your grocery savings.
