What's in Your Shopping Cart?
Tuesday November 3, 2009
If it's not baking supplies, then you're missing out on some real bargains. November and December are the cheapest months of the year to stock up on flour, butter, spices and many other baking essentials. A good rule of thumb: if you need it to prepare Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner, it's on sale now.
I've already stocked up on my favorite butter ($.99 a tub, instead of the regular $2.99) and snagged two free cans of evaporated milk. Now, I'm in pursuit of a buy-one-get-one deal on my favorite flour. How are you doing with your seasonal stock up?

I bought some flour this week at Kroger. It was on sale for 1.99 for 5 lbs and I had a .50 off coupon that they doubled so it was only .99 for it.
Can’t agree more with your assertion that if it’s for Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner get it now. It’s not just limited to baking supplies and spices though. I just got home from shopping Rainbow Foods, they have a special, buy a ham get a free turkey, dozen eggs and 12 oz package of frozen sausage. So for under $14 I got my entrees for Thanksgiving and Christmas as well as several breakfasts.
