Newspapers, Flyers and E-flyers, make The time when looking for dealS

There is a wealth of deals in newspapers, flyers and any other mass media propaganda which you can find almost anywhere. Problem is you need time to weed through this mess.  What works for me and once again this one I learned from another friend and he literally makes this a ritual on Thursday nights. He gathers all the local towns’ newspaper, city newspapers and flyers, finds a quiet place and go through them with a find tooth comb. What a better way to prep yourself for upcoming deals. What better prepares you for the deals then knowing where they are.

Ours shows up Wednesday night and boy I get a stack a mile high from every possible shop and big box store out there. For some reason they like Wednesday nights. Hey I am not complaining! It just makes my life that much more easier to find the deals. This way by Friday “grocery day for us” We have grocery list in one hand and where to buy in another.

Another option I also choose is eflyers. Which you can subscribe to and then they send you a flyer. But now days, if you look hard enough on the internet for a local website you will find a site that shows them all.

I find the local deals can save you quite a bit especially groceries for me. I like try to plan my weekend grocery shopping with all the local flyers and then jump from place to place knowing exactly what I want or need, and obviously they all have to be in close vicinity or you land up spending more on gas then gorceries.

Now once again you need to put your frugal hat one. Just because “Price Chippers” has a 5 pack of ketchup on sale does not necessarily mean it’s a good deal. If you land up throwing out 4 of the 5 because they expired. You need to really plan things out.

The way I see it is you should buy what you only need and might as well get it at a discount. Which means, what money is left you can decide to by something that’s a little healthier for you. So instead of buying the pack of white bread you can now buy the whole wheat bread on sale for 20 cents more. I truly believe health eating is extremely important. And I also believe if budgeted properly and you do your research you can find good quality food at discounted prices.

But you really need to do you digging; I didn’t say being frugal was easy! You need to work on it. But trust me it does get easier and in time a pattern emerges. Then know where to find the deals. Plus you feel good knowing you’re providing healthy food to your family.
