Where do you save the most money?!
Where do you save the most money?
I was wondering where you all save the most money when buying bulk food and drinks. I'm hosting a tailgating party this Saturday, and I'm debating whether I should shop at a grocery store, Target, or Wal-mart. What do you all think?
Answers:
Hi, if you wanna really save money and your party is really big (I mean lots of people), then your best bet is COSTCO, SAM'S CLUB and WALMART. COSTCO and SAM'S CLUB have everything in bulk. So you can buy the disposable plates and glasses and tissues from there. If you need a little lesser quantity then WALMART is your next best bet. Your local grocery store will have a wider variety of food items like cakes and cookies than the wholesale stores. So you should plan what you need and accordingly shop.
In general, I would say Walmart has the lowest prices on everyday items. Sometimes you can catch a sale on things at a grocery store and get them cheaper, especially if you use coupons. But I would say if you want to do all your shopping at one store without comparing sale ads, Walmart is your best bet!
Ah hah! Seattle game???? We're heading to Seattle, oops that be next week.
Buy bulk and limit the choices.
I think Wal Mart is cheapest
walmart would probably be the cheapest, but if you have a gordons food service or a sam's club, they will beat walmart.
Wal-Mart... plus they've got very fresh stuff
Go to a Walmart Super center, Sam's , Cosco, BJ's or just clip coupons.... or go to google and search for printable coupons....
Try Cost-Co or BJs. You can gain teh membership fee back in gas savings alone. THey have great club gas prices and you can't beat them for bulk food purchases.
Have a great party!
Target has shorter lines
Walmart is always packed. Cashiers and Prices broken. But cheap
Your choice save time or money. Id go with target. Hate wasting my time in Walmart behind a "PRICE CHECK" light
Do you have a Costco near you? They rock for cheap food in bulk. Otherwise Sam's is Ok. I try not to use Wally-World.
go to the grocery game .com I think the intital sign up is for free. You pick the grocery stores in your area that you shop and a list is produced for you that lists all sale prices- published and UNPUBLISHED!!! + if you clip coupons- which coupons coordinate with sale items. IT's a great website and it certainly will let you know which store to shop at which week.
Good Luck!
If you've got a membership try Costco/Sam's Club. They have huge amounts of foods at bulk prices. Or if you don't have a membership, try Smart & Final - also an outlet/warehouse store.
If you don't want to go to one of the above stores, I'd recommend Wal*Mart; Target tends to be a bit overpriced in my opinion (unless you can find the stuff on sale). Grocery stores, no matter what, are going to be more expensive.
Check to see if there is a Food Liquidation Center in your area, it's a place where they have bought groceries in bulk from places either going out of business and that was surplus inventory. Just be sure to check the dates on things. Also, some Dollar Tree stores have quite a collection of snacks , both salty and sweet,and juices and sodas ,all for a buck each. That way you end up with a larger variety of things , more bang for your buck.
Walmart is a good place to shop for cheap but if you are planning on buying bulk try Costco or Sam's club. They have really good prices on bulk items. They also have party trays and premade sandwiches which would be perfect for such an event.
depends, well walmart. depends on if you are grocery shopping, yes walmart has the best deals. if you go to walmart at 10 pm the lines are gone! I go late at night and do my grocery shopping, and if u live in eugene its open 24 hours, also theres winco if u are in oregon, good luck.
If you do stuff like this often it might be wise to become a member at Sam's Club. I think that for the most part wal-mart is the cheapest unless the grocery store is having a big sale. I wouldn't bother with Target, their prices are usually a bit higher for everything.
