City Market Ad 4/22-4/28

It's been a while since I posted a weekly ad, but am hoping to be back here each week with my ad finds. This week there is a buy 4 save $4 deal going on. Here is what I have found in this week's ad...

• Fresh Heritage Farm Whole Chicken or Drumsticks or Thighs - $0.99/lb

• Colorado Proud Milk - $1.99
• Land 'O Frost Lunch Meat - $3.99
• Kroger Potatoes (20-32 oz) - $1.99
• Kroger Cottage Cheese (or dip or sour cream) - 4 for $5

Items in the Buy 4 Save $4 that are worth looking at. You are basically saving $1 on each item, remember you must buy 4 to get this price...

• Kraft Cheese or Sargento Shredded Cheese (I love Sargento) - $1.99
• Doritos - $1.99
• Kraft Salad Dressing - $1.99

• Keebler Town House Crackers - $1.99
• Keebler Cookies - $1.79 (these are my favorite cookies and VERY addictive)

There are lots more things on the Buy 4 deal that they don't include in the ad, so just watch for those blue tags for other items.

This week I wanted to also give some extra tips on saving money at the grocery store. 

1. Don't buy Organic. It will cost you SO much more and I personally don't think it's any better than the non-organic stuff. I NEVER buy organic anything.
2. In your Kroger store there will be various places where they will have marked down items which will have a "Manager's Special" sticker. These are items that they need to sell ASAP or just don't look good (for example bakery items that were dropped and don't look nice). There is usually one in your meat department, in the frozen foods, sometimes in produce, in the deli, and over in dairy. Learn where they are in your store and make it a point to check them every single time. In the past I have gotten PACKAGES of chicken for $1 which is an incredible find. These "Manager's Special" stickers will sometimes be on items throughout the store not just in the designated areas, so be sure to keep a watch out for them.
3. ALWAYS check out the digital coupons. It takes like 2 seconds to download those coupons to your card. If you don't use them it's ok, but you really can get lots of savings. The thing is they have coupons for the things you ACTUALLY buy. I've gotten coupons for shampoo, mascara, canned goods, frozen food, and more. It's something easy, will save you money, and VERY doable, so just do it!
