I am a very frugal shopper. I couponed, bought clothes a season ahead in sales, saved 5 years to go to Disney in the 80's, paid cash except for car and house, gardened, canned, made grocery list from menus, and saved wherever we could through the years.
Most of early years i was a stay at home Mom with 4 children in many activities, bought a new car and built new home. I used my time wisely and planned my trips well. So i have paid my dues.
I buy beef and pork meats from neighborhood butcher and Sam's.
We buy 30% of other staples once a month at Sam's or Aldi.
But for over 60 years I always buy our food in CYCLES. That means I buy in season, and the cycle sales that occur every 8, 12, or 16 weeks.
I never buy food we don't like or need. No waste by throwing out leftovers. I planned to make potato patties from mashed potatoes on the next day or two. Roast beef leftovers in soup, sandwiches, etc.
Now I always shop 70% of our non fresh meat foods from Publix. We buy mostly BOGO which is using CYCLES for the cheapest place to shop with excellent quality and service at Publix. I adore Publix!
Starting Sunday, Meijer Fresh hamburger $1.99lb (3 lb or more), up to 5 packs.
Agreed Aldi would be #1 if they had more variety and regular items consistently in stock!
Exactly why Aldi has lower prices. They aren't overloaded with stock and taking up shelf space for 10 different choices on one item.
You are so happy and your wife , yall make my day
🌄 morning danno. Husband and I went down to Cincinnati to jungle Jim's. I had never been to jungle gyms,we also went to a bbq place called candy pig and it was amazing the best bbq I've ever ate but the prices were steep same with jungle Jim's. we then stopped at a pizza place and it 80 for 2 extra large pizzas. We also stopped at a pie place got some pies and peddlers paradise. That store had so many isles of old antiques but overall we had a good time.🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Yes!! You nailed the list and in perfect order. I do shop all of these. I went to Kroger this week and my total was $90 until all the sales, clipped coupons and digital coupons were engaged. I ended up with a bill of $52. Almost (not all) were on a sale of some type, but I still saved a bundle. We are also blessed to have a Rulers nearby here in Ohio, and they usually have a lot of similar Kroger deals. We raise our own beef and buy the rest at a local butcher, so i can't comment on meat value & quality.
When I don't have alot of time for the shopping "pregame"😂, I scan as I go for Kroger digital deals. On the buy 5 (or 3, or 6...) it's pretty easy to stock up. I love Meijer for their fresh local produce and convenience of everything in one spot.
Hey, I'm right in there! I'm going to make it to Cincinnati one of these days just to go to Jungle Jim's and that big Dollar Tree over there!
My order:
1. Trader Joes
2. Ralphs (sales & clearance)
3. CostCo
Yesterday only spent $35.94@ Costco in Los Angeles county for: Dave's Killer 2pkg bread 9.49, 2pk Lemonade/Strawberry Juice 4.99 + .20 fee, 10# Potatoes 6.29, 18oz Blueberries 3.99, Cherries 5.99, and Tomatoes on the vine 4.99 No tax! 😊 Could not find Organic Brocolli for the 1st time 😮
Mine:
1. Winco
2. Sprouts
3. Safeway
4.Publix
5. Whole Foods
But I go based in cleanliness of store anf customer service... thankful I dont have to pay too close attention to prices. thankful for my career every day.
Meijer ad starting tomorrow is AMAZING
Good list. Mine would be: Kroger (only items on sale), Sam's, Aldi (for veggies) & Walmart (items I can't get at other stores). On occasion Ollies might get in the mix...lol Have a Great weekend !!!
"Done the math" is fine and good, but many singles and elderly don't have the need or space for Buy 5 or more. Especially the elderly, they don't have the expendable income to buy in multiples.
You are right. My 2 girlfriends and I split the deals at kroger and my one friens has a costco membership with her son so we do the same thing. I have the foodsaver. We share a lot in shopping to keep the cost down. I make jam and now I pickup the 4oz jars they work better for us older single people. I hope you have a nice day😊
You don't need to buy 5 of the same thing. It's a color coded sale. If the tag says it's a part of it, you get as many as you feel like. Can be 5 different things, but can be all 5 of the same.
Very true about Kroger. I got a few of their digital deals yesterday but don't buy too much else there.
Hi Danno and Jess!! Winco all the way here in California
This would be a hard one to determine...so many variables involved in determining the top 5. Mine are Meijer, Walmart, Kroger, Aldi and then all the others. Good buys from all at times. I do very good with MPerks at Meijer. Saved a $1.00 a gal of gas with mperks and they have a great quality of vegs/meats. Great value brand is very good at Walmart...love their frozen vegetables. I think it depends on people's situation as far as health needs, location, # of people in the family, likes/dislikes of food, financial situation. So many different things to consider. Great discussion topic!
My favorites in southern California is: Aldi, Target, Winco, Sprouts, and Vallartas. We do have alot of other choices, but I shp these places for price, fresh veggies & fruits, gluten free items, and meat.
I once saw a program that pointed out the tray meat pkg. They use those at Walmart.
The meat doesn't touch the cellophane wrap because they use a gas, which preserves the meat, it stays red longer.😮
I’m generally frugal but I went to Whole Foods in Louisville yesterday for lunch and honestly… their produce is just so beautiful. Ended up spending $200 on fruits/veggies 😮 my gym is down the street from this store so it’s very tempting haha
My top 5 best to least favorite. Sam's, Walmart, Target(just this year), Woodmans(dropped to 4th this year) and i guess i have to say Aldi because i don't think i shop at any other grocery store anymore even though i only get there maybe twice a year. . kroger and Meijer haven't been in them over a year. Sentry, I haven't set foot in that place since i left and that is something like 2.5 years ago. My favorite non grocery store i buy food at is the Kwiktrip gas station. even when i worked at walmart and sentry, i got certain items like bread, bananas, etc from the gas station instead and they would always call me out on it and we would just chuckle about it.
Good Saturday morning Danno! I enjoy your coffee rants!
Just bought T-bone steaks at frys which is owned by Kroger. They were $5.47 lb with a limit of 5 packs. 3 of the packs I purchased I would consider porterhouse.
If you don't have a smart phone and can't afford to go to several stores, Kroger is not "user" friendly for a lot of elders
Ageism.
Took me forever to figure out the app. I enjoy shopping the loss leaders. 😊
I do Kroger on my laptop. I'm 76 in Aug. But not much on a senior's needs list, besides food or TP. Would you believe Ammonia is missing? Walmart is cheaper on Fixodent, but neither has denture brushes. We don't need appliances, or clothes unless they wear out.
I would agree with you. If you have a computer, it is much easier to clip all the coupons and digital ones on there before you go. The website is easier to navigate than the app in my opinion anyway.
As mentioned above, you can use any device connected to the Internet.
Thank you for the video. God bless 👍👍😃❤️🙏
I did really well yesterday shopping at Fry's(Kroger store) in my area. My order rang up $140 but with the 5 or more offer and all the digital coupons my final cost was $81. I call that "great savings". I do agree that Walmart brand, Great Value, is quality, but meat is not that good. I also noticed the canned veggies at Walmart have increased a lot this year.
Thank you Danno ❤️✝️
I buy 80 percent of myfood from Azure Standard and Butcher Box. I like buying bulk from Azure and the small monthly box of meat is the right size for me . Getting very good quality food. It's only me, so very doable.
Probably the rest at Costco. 2 meals a day water, coffee, no snacks.
Good morning sir! Good to see you!
Schnucks, here in central Illinois, is the most expensive store, that u can save the most money. This week...buy one get one free. Sweet baby rays sauce for one. U can separate the groceries, say your buying for someone else, so u have 2 orders. I use to be a caregiver, and had to do this constantly.❤pork steaks are 1.59 lb. Too
I will get to stock up on spices later this summer at Winco. I miss that store so much! I remember once I got a whole Quart of cumin for 80¢!
Let's see everyone's top 5!
Mine:
Fred Meyer
Grocery Outlet
Costco
Trader Joe's
Safeway (for deals only)
Bonus: walmart pickup every few months
I wish we had a Jungle Jim's here in Arizona. After watching your visit I really want to go there. At Dollar Tree today an employee told us they will be relocating to the 99 cent Store location (they went out of business) and they will be called $1.50 and More.
Watch egg prices. My Walmart last week was $1.54 a dozen. Today that same dozen is $2.68
Aldi went up 50 cents a dozen since last week too.
I only shop at Aldi's Publix and Dollar general Dollar Isle
Central California here:
1) Winco (everyday low prices)
2) Grocery Outlet
3) Vons (similar to Kroger for you, the sales only. Horrible everyday prices, but great stock up prices on name brands)
4) Target
5) Aldi
well since I am in Minnesota, my top 5 are Aldi, Trader Joe’s, HyVee, SUN market, and Walmart, for best deals. Our available stores in the city are different. But I very rarely go to Walmart because it’s inconvenient for us.
Minnesota within the city of St. paul seem to have this thing where they want independent stores, and don’t do contracts with many chains here.
The hot food service (Asian Food ) bar at Hy Vee, is Delicious!
Morning from Phoenix. Another hot day here
Yay for coffee rant!!!
I disagree. My opinion would be that Meijer is #1. They never raised prices up. Within past month they lowered prices on over 10,000 items. Maybe meat prices didn’t drop, but many other items did. Maybe you should read the ad before coming into the store. Watermelon $2.89 next week for the large. You can’t tell people prices went up went they really dropped. You must be blind to not see the new low price tags everywhere. Meijer does have great quality and the best prices. I appreciate your video and your opinions.
It's a watermelon season. They are everywhere for $2-4ea. What they call dropping prices is nothing but selling seasonal food.
@@janedowasjanedow That is called a sale! Not lowering prices! If you walk around the store there are tags that state “new low price”. Go see for yourself if you don’t believe me. Several stores been lowering prices (including Target, Meijer, and Walgreens). You have to look that up on the news. It’s not only seasonal food. It’s a bit of everything that they are lowering prices.
You said it 100% Fish Lover!
Very enjoyable. Thank you.
You're very welcome
I don't buy meat or produce from my Walmart in Southern Illinois.where I live.
I live in southern Illinois too. About 10 miles from Carbondale.
I’m biased because the Fairfield Jungle Jim’s is down the road from me BUT it is much easier to navigate than the Eastgate store. We love JJs but they are definitely more expensive if you get regular groceries on a regular basis. Their fish/seafood and meat department is also amazing.
Jungle Jim's checking in
I don’t have much luck with Jungle Jim’s cakes & pastries. They’ve all tasted like they were made ahead and put into cold storage without being covered. They have a freezer taste to me.
If u ever travel to the tri state area stew Leonard’s is awesome. It’s in NY and Conn
Kroger for sales, ONLY! 😊❤
1) WinCo 2) Grocery Outlet Bargain Market 3) Dollar Tree 4) Walmart 5) Raleys/Bel Aire 🛒🛍 Sacramento, California USA 🇺🇸
I agree about winco
At Dollar General I bought many large sized items for $1 that were $1.25 at Dollar Tree.
In my town we have Kroger, Walmart, Aldi, and Save-A-Lot. Myers , Target and Costco is a 1 hr drive for me. I honestly do not understand why Danno never mentions Save-A-Lot. I know Cincinnati Has Save-A-Lot. Give them a try. My Save-A-Lot knows me. Several times the workers see me waiting out side. The have on many Time opened there doors for me a half hour early. The even close the doors. I I have the store o my self. When I go to Save-A-Lot I have 2 carts. I am buying canned goods by the flats. I keep 1 can of each can good on top. I take a sharpie and write how many cans of that item. Green Beans (24 cans) ect. ext. I only put my single cans on the register belt. I am in and out with in 30 to 45 min . It is so simple. Many time they have ordered 25 pound bags of potatoes for me. I order 1 in the summer and 1 in the winter. We pressure can them on a 3 day weekend
Hi Danno and Jess❤❤❤
Goodmorning from Mississippi everyone😊😊😊
Heritage Farm chicken comes from Tyson, Simple Truth chicken comes from Purdue
My top grocery stores are Winco, Fred Meyer and Yokes ( sales only). We don't have a lot of the stores others listed.
I thought Danno maybe would like to see others top 5 places. Mine are
1) Kroger .. deals only
2) Dollar Tree .. items I like that I can't get anywhere else.
3) Aldi ... good regular prices and also some items I cant get other places.
4) Meijer .. deals only.
5) Trader Joe's ... The ultimate for items I can't get elsewhere, but a little farther away from me.
I love Jungle Jim's as well and pretty much agree with Danno on what he said about them. However, being near Louisville, I only get there 2 or 3 times a year. Eastgate this coming monday..yeah!
I love walmart can goods , bread is good too .Publix love bogo sales and produce , deli , bakery .Aldi is good also for special items not found elsewhere .Sams club love when bulk items on sale and clothes. Kroger has good can goods and meat but I can't get digital items .My phone won't allow it not a smart phone either but soft drinks usually on sale . Hi to both of you and be safe it's so humid and hot lately. GOD BLESS ALL
7 minutes on Jungle Jim’s. Ok danno loves Jungle Jim’s 😄
Fry's Signature Marketplace in Scottsdale AZ has Valet parking, I enjoyed using that when it was 119 outside last summer.
🥵🥵🥵I don’t blame you there
@@brendah4773 Hello, Brendah. Hello, Colorado !
Top 5? I can give you a top 3 🤔
1) King Soopers (Kroger)
2) Sams (9/10 it’ll be an online order or shipping)
3) Walgreens for personal items or
4) the HSA store (benefit through my job)
Good morning Danno
I do buy meat from a mom.and pop store in South East Illinois.
Good morning everyone 🌞🌅
😃
The Kroger app can change prices at any minute. I swear on Wednesday I looked at it extra large eggs were 2.09!a dozen. I went on Friday and they were 2.39.
Good morning from St.Louis
Morning!
We watched one walmart's meat counter carefully for 3 minths, a second for 1 month, and a third semi-carefully for 1 month; and hes its been quite a whike, there were some regulatory prob.ems, and supposedly all is good . I am not convinced that at all time all the dates are good on all the product; either that or something is allowing some of the product to puff and bulge and it is seen as acceptable by associztes because the dates and rules take precedence over puff and smell. - We like to be able to trust our meat counter with minimal inspection and Walmart doesn't have our trust.
I never buy meat or produce from chinamart
You don’t think produce and meat are imported at Walmart and Kroger and Meijer?
@@Pallasathena-hv4kp Old MegaPirate just likes to get up on their high horse to feel superior, smh. 🙄
@@rangerannie5636 I’ve noticed. Oh, well.
I argue why are you buying fruits and meats without the intention of eating it right away ? Whenever I buy any kind of meat or produce it's because I am going to most likely eat it for dinner that day or in the case of meat freeze it with the intention of eating it within a month max. I have never understood people who buy truckloads of beef and chicken to freeze it and 3 years later still haven't eaten it.
Good morning Danno. I have my coffee ready. I like the bread.
Food Lion, Publix, Lowes grocery store. Thats it for me.
There are several things that are same price walmart and aldi now i was not happy about that.
It’s not trickery. It’s called marketing.
This list is completely shocking as a long term viewer lol. I thought it would be Aldi's and Sam's higher on the list. I didn't know if you would throw a curve ball like whole foods or something 😂.
Walmart’s meats are too expensive & often the produce looks bad.🤮
Meijer is my favorite then Aldi and last is Kroger
No, it's not just you, I won't buy fresh meat at Walmart either. I like the Great Value Cream of Chicken and Mushroom soups, my opinion of the Meijer brand cream soup is it's too runny.
Why did my Half/Half have an rSBT label on it, it is a GMO SHOT, every 2 weeks. Production Canned veggies, and fruit taste different than fresh.
I don't think Winco is in your top 5 favorites, Winco outshines them all!!!
You might be correct, but since there isn't a Winco within 100's miles of Cincy, oh well. Personally I really like Lidl, but it is a few 100 miles away as well.
I agree.
I am not sure if Danno has been to a Winco ...
Too bad Jungle Jim’s isn’t in every state. I think they could be the Buc ee’s of grocery stores if they were.
No doubt
Same here, poor quality meat and poor selection at WalMart, but much better in NC at Lowes, Harris Teeter and Food Lion
I only shop walmart for shampoo, deodarent, cleaning products, clothes (sale or clearence). Produce is crap, meats are horrible, dairy is a no go as well.
Hi danno how’s it going
😃👍
# Hate is Walmart #2 Is Aldis both of them fresh fruit veg go bad fast I will shop at either of these stores! I shop at Giant Eagle just for sales and Drug Mart in Ohio has a grocery store sales are awesome and the meat is the best at Drug Mart....I buy my fresh bread at Dave's only 2.99 a loaf also the meat is another place to buy good meat...Giant Eagle meat is aweful I only go for sales....
Target. No way. To woke. Meijer has the freshest produce!!!
Name brands are run by middlemen Avoid them and get private labels whenever possible.
I hate Walmart and Great Value, always have. It's a last option for me, but that's just me. I know some people who like it.
Great value is awesome.
Walmart products are good but their paper products are not good quality
I can't stand Walmart
Can't stand Walmart, I rarely go there. It is because you are lucky to have two checkers and it is always a really long line. I mostly stopped going there because they would never call for more checkers. Just a flippen nightmare.
I hardly go there. I don’t think their prices are very good. The meat prices are outrageous. I do better shopping sales at other stores.
