Black Friday – The Day After

Filed under Bargin Places, Food

Nov 28
Today is Saturday. Thanksgiving is over. Black Friday is over. Until Christmas we are not going to be relieved from the bombardment of “DEALS” that we cannot pass. Did you know that there are other stores were you can get fantastic deals for other than electronics, cloths, and stuff?

Last night I had to take an emergency run to Winco, my local grocery store, because we were out of bacon. In our family, Saturday morning pancakes and bacon is a bigger tradition than Thanksgiving dinner.

While walking through the store at about 6pm, I started to notice some changes in price. They were rather dramatic.

In fact, it was earlier Friday, I noticed that at the local Jackson store had dropped the price of my favorite energy drink. The Starbucks 15 ounce Double Shot Mocha was 50 cents less than it was two days before.

Now back to Winco, my local grocery store, and the observed price drops.
- All Sport – All summer long it was 79 cents for a 32 ounce bottle. Then in September the price jumped to 88 cents, now it is down to 68 cents.
- Fresh Pies – Before Thanksgiving store baked 8″ pies were all $4.98 each. Last night Pumpkin and Apple pies were $2 cheaper. Frozen 8′ pies were the same at $2.48 for Apple, Dutch Apple, Pumpkin, and Cherry.
- Pork Roast – In-bone pork roast has been selling at $1.29 to 99 cents per pound. Last night, I bought that same in-bone pork roast for 68 cents per pound.
- Bacon – Yes, bacon was down 11 cents from the day before. The 12 ounce package of Bar S bacon was selling for a $1.68. It had not been that low all year.
Now this is a good time to make a strong case for money management. Instead of spending everything in the food budget. It is always good to keep some in reserve. There will be times where such door busting deals will show. It will idea to stock up.

That is why our parents and grandparents had a chest freezer, and food pantry. When a great deal on food came along, they would stock up. Even today, I have know of people living a whole winter of deer and elk meat that they have gotten from that years hunting. We can do the same from observation of really great deals in the grocery store.

Hey I just wanted to let you know, I actually like the composition on your website. But I am using Chromium on a machine running version 9.04 of Crashbang Ubuntu and the look and feel aren’t quite satisfactory. Not a important deal, I can still basically read the articles and research for information, but just wanted to inform you about that. The navigation bar is kind of tough to apply with the config I’m running. Keep up the great work!
