Have you all been enjoying this post? Below are this week’s “staple” items and what they’re on sale for (or regularly priced at). I’ve found it very interesting to see what some of the things we buy each week (sometimes without coupons) actually cost when you see it over a few weeks. I’m noticing that:
- Milk is consistently cheapest at Walmart (unless you have a coupon – and I know Save-a-Lot is even cheaper, I just haven’t had the time to get their prices just yet!)
- Bread usually goes on BOGO, so be on the lookout for which store has it in a week where you really need it
- Winn Dixie’s egg prices are high without a sale
- The cheapest meats are typically at Walmart and Albertsons (but I just wonder about the quality?)
- Cereals are usually at a “buy” price if they’re under $2.00 (although I personally shoot for under $1.00 and then stock up!)
What do you all notice about these prices? Would love to hear your thoughts.

Thanks for coming to Addicted to Saving! Here’s a little bit about me so you can know who’s behind all these posts!
My name is Liza and I began my money-saving journey in the Spring of 2009 as a way to stretch a limited household income. I had lost my job and my hubby was self-employed. I launched Addicted to Saving in November of 2009 and it has grown by leaps and bounds. Since then, my hubby and I have struggled with the ups and downs of two failed adoptions and are now LOVING being parents to our little man Asher who we brought home from Ethiopia in August of 2013. I feel incredibly blessed to be able to help you save money. My goal is that you will have FUN and become empowered to save more and more money each week..
