Grocery Outlet

http://thefrugalfind.com/

Grocery Outlet is a staple in my weekly shopping budget.  However you have to know that shopping Grocery Outlet is like a treasure hunt.  I go with my grocery list already prepared for the week so I know what I NEED and based on past experience I know what a good price is.  If I happen to find a few items from my list at Grocery Outlet that meet or beat my buy it now price, I’ll buy it there.  The fun part however comes with the extra $5 or so that I don’t have designated for specific food items on my shopping list, instead I’m able to hunt down a deal or two at Grocery Outlet!  In the past I’ve found several spectacular deals such as…

  1. Fiber One Bars, 30pk – $4.99
  2. PowerBar Harvest Energy Bars – $0.10 each
  3. Fleishmann’s Butter – $0.50
  4. Tillamook Cheese, 80z – $1.00
  5. Skippy Peanut Butter – $0.99/jar
  6. Post Shredded Wheat Cereal – $0.98/box
  7. Athenos Feta Cheese – $0.99
  8. and so much more!

Would you like the chance to treasure hunt at Grocery Outlet?  I have (2) $25 Grocery Outlet gift cards to give away to 2 lucky Frugal Find readers courtesy of Grocery Outlet.  This giveaway will run through 1/31 and the winners will be announced shortly after.

Starting tomorrow Grocery Outlet will have 8oz bags of Tillamook Shredded Cheese on sale for $1.99 – but guess what?!  They’re also Buy 1, Get 1 FREE!  That makes each package only $1 – time to stock up and stick those in the freezer.  You can see the Grocery Outlet ad that starts tomorrow 1/4 HERE and HERE.

This is a screaming good deal and this is exactly what keeps me coming back to Grocery Outlet.  Today I found these 5 count boxes of Whole Grain PowerBar Harvest Energy Chocolate/Toffee Bars for just $0.50 – yes you read that right $0.50 or $0.10 per bar!   They don’t expire until May of 2012 either!  What crazy good deals have you found at Grocery Outlet recently?

Please note that these were at the Bend, OR store and stock/prices do vary by location.

Stay tuned for a Grocery Outlet gift card giveaway…

I’ve long been a huge fan of Grocery Outlet.  It’s the first store Mr. Frugal and I learned to shop at on budget as a newly married couple over 10 years ago!  I’ve never stopped, it’s a treasure hunt and you just never know what you’ll find!

Pictured above are just a few of the deals I found today at my local Grocery Outlet store, I also found…

  1. Pepperidge Farm Goldfish – $0.99/bag
  2. Clif Zbars – $0.39 each
  3. Tias Chips – $0.99/bag (full size!)
  4. 8pk JELL-O Tempations – $2.99
  5. Fiber One Bars, 30pk – $4.99 – CRAZY good price!
  6. Skinny Cow Truffle Ice Cream Bars, 12 ct – $4.99

UPDATE: I stopped in today (a couple of weeks after I posted this deal originally) and found a great stock of Skippy Peanut Butter here in Bend, OR still priced at $0.99 each.  The best part is they’re dated October 2012!

A TFF reader commented on our Facebook wall saying she found Skippy Peanut Butter, 18oz at her local Grocery Outlet (in Grass Valley if I remember right) for just $0.99.  I just HAD to stop in and see if I could find this deal too, sure enough I did!  For my local readers I found them at the Pleasant Hill store – for the rest of you, I think this merits a trip to your local Grocery Outlet store!

The Skippy Creamy expiresd on 10/11 and the Skippy Crunchy expires on 9/24 – pretty close, but still worth buying a few especially with Back to School in full swing.  Plus it doesn’t technically expire, it just says “Best if used by…”

So how do you determine what “Best if used by” means?

I stopped by Grocery Outlet today and found a sale that I hadn’t noticed when I scanned their ad but sure enough it’s there!  They have their Post Shredded Wheat cereal on sale BOGO at just $1.98 each, so you get 2 for $1.98. It gets even better because the boxes have a FREE coupon on the back for a  Fruit Naturals Cup.

So in the end you’ll get 2 boxes for Post Shredded Wheat (I chose Vanilla/Almond flavor) and 2 FREE Fruit Naturals Cups coupons for $1.98. Now remember you can’t use the coupons at Grocery Outlet but they’re perfectly fine to use elsewhere.  Mine don’t expire until 12/31/11.  This BOGO sale is good through 9/6.

You can go here to find a Grocery Outlet near you and to see their most recent ad.  Also you may enjoy this video where I interviewed the Grocery Outlet staff at the headquarters in Berkeley, CA last year.

I’m very proud to work alongside Grocery Outlet, they strive to bring value to their customers and are always looking for ways to give back to the community.  Their latest  is the Independence from Hunger campaign.  Each store (152 of them!) have chosen a local charity/food bank to collect donations for.  Within the first 10 days of this month-long campaign, Grocery Outlet customers have donated a total of$106,353 worth of food and cash donations!

They are also running a “Feed the Need” contest on their Facebook page – five customers who make a donation will be entered to win $100 to donate to the charity of their choice AND a $100 Grocery Outlet gift card for themselves!

You can see the front page of the July Grocery Outlet ad HERE and the back page of the ad HERE.

I was shopping this past weekend at Grocery Outlet and saw this new “Frugal” bag that they are selling.  I just had to buy one!  I thought you guys would appreciate it as well.  Call me Frugal, but don’t call me Cheap!

Do you have anyone in your life that just doesn’t get it? Maybe they don’t get couponing and they don’t get that you live within your means.  Have you even been called Cheap?  I’d love to hear your stories, Frugal living has definitely gained in popularity over the past couple of years but there are many people out there still that think it’s just a silly waste of time.  A hobby.

I guess they’re ok paying full price for everything, I just can’t imagine ever doing that again!

Don’t forget to enter to win a $50 Grocery Outlet gift card!

These are a just a few of the great deals I found, click on the image to enlarge…

After a short break for the Holiday’s we’re back on track with our monthly $50 Grocery Outlet Giveaway. I have (2) $25 Grocery Outlet gift cards to give away to (2) Frugal Find readers.

The pictures above are from my shopping trip this past week, courtesy of Grocery Outlet.  I spent $33.63 and saved $54.76!  I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, it feels NICE to shop and save without using a single coupon!  I’ll admit it’s nice to be able to walk in  get a great deal without too much thought or planning.  Not everything they sell is the best price possible, but you guys are such savvy shoppers you know how to pick, choose, and shop around.  It’s important to know your Buy It Now/Stock Pile prices anytime you go out to grocery shop, regardless of where you are but especially when you go to Costco.

If you shop Grocery Outlet often, you know that there stock changes frequently.  This means there are always new deals to be found.  You can see the February ad over here, just remember that not everything pictured above or in the ad is necessarily still in stock.

This giveaway has ended and the winner will be announced on Saturday 12/11, thank you everyone for entering!

I’ve been working with Grocery Outlet for close to a year now and have to say they are a great company with great stores, and better yet – GREAT prices.  Their prices are consistently low and while we are able to get things free from time to time at other grocery stores – what I love about Grocery Outlet is that I can leave my Coupon Binder at home and still save BIG!  Even still it’s important to know your Buy It Now/Stock Pile prices.

They are releasing a new ad on 12/15 in stores, but being a part of the Frugal Force means you get a sneak peak and a chance to win a $50 gift card to shop at your local Grocery Outlet!  Get this…we’ll be doing this EVERY month!!  I have (1) $50 gift card to giveaway, now take a minute and enter to win!
